[Mr.Deep]

I worked a little on the model. He sewed up the bulwark and the lower gun deck with a second skin.I am waiting for the ordered deck with laser engraving. As well as the bridge and the forecastle deck.

"Oleg" is shaping up beautifully!
What is the model (equally beautiful!) on the workbench behind her?

Poltava

Thanks. Background, history? (forgive my ignorance) One of Katherine the Great's fleet (where John Paul Jones was briefly an Admiral)?

I love the history of the "Poltava" Mr. Deep. "Oleg" is going to be very nice. Enjoying your build. Magic Mike

 

[Peter Gutterman]

Thanks. I'll do some more research.

 

[Mr.Deep]

Another one of the future projects.Another glorious Russian ship.Heroically died in a glorious naval battle.

 

[Mr.Deep]

The ordered decks are ready. And rails for the bomb gun carriage.

 

[Peter Gutterman]

As always, spectacular!

 

[Mr.Deep]

Продолжаем конструкцию Олега. Я смастерил ящики для кроватей. Я сварил и склеил переборку бака. Отогнул рейки по краю и начал приклеивать отделку снизу от бархоута.

 

[Peter Gutterman]

What huge progress in a relatively short period of time! You really have the focus and drive, not to mention talent!

[Iterum]

Great Work You do show. You do know about the OLEG's set of plans publiced by the "Archiv of the Russian Navy"?

If you mean these, yes, I have them.

 

[Iterum]

Yes these I thought about. Are they more helpfull than the paper kit to your build?

 

[Mr.Deep]

I think they're both useful. Most likely, the development of a paper model is based on these drawings.

 

[Allegheny]

If you mean these, yes, I have them.

[Mr.Deep]

I'm finishing the lining of the underwater part of the hull. There's still a little bit left. This part will be sanded, primed and glued with copper.

 

[Peter Gutterman]

Can't wait to see what your copper sheathing will look like!
