A most excellent build Steve!

You inspired me to pull out my Knyaz Suvorov and lust in my heart to work on it. The problem is that I only have 5, 10 or 15 projects (I’ve lost count) that I promised myself to finish up first. Also, my beautiful bride has started giving me ”that” look every time I start talking about a new project.....

I did want to ask you which deck you used? Pontos, Artwok, Hunter? You probably said it already but I missed it. I’m still not sure about using them since they throw off the look of the deck equipment such as the bollards in my opinion.  However, for some of the ships I’m looking at building in the future, they hide deck seams really well!

Anyway, thanks for posted the WIP, it’s always a pleasure seeing your work.

Steve

This thread has inspired me to remove the rigging and replace the masts with brass assemblies.  Then I will re-rig it.
