You’re totally right, Michael..

This is another reason because I like so much many pre-dreadnought battleships..

Such equipments bring a so “old-fashion” appearance mixed with a sense of brutal force build on odds hulls..😉

Happy paper modeling!!
Ciao

Hello and good morning to all paper-modelers worldwide !!

In last weeks I made very few steps on the Admiral Nakhimov model, due the fact of a lot of work to do for my job activities (thanks to God... the work hasn't been decreased during the pandemic period).

So, because a very few spare time, I went just a bit forward on this ship model.. I have added the single, large funnel, some vent pipes, some hatches, the aft crane for the anchor and the two broadside turrets for 254 mm guns.

Looking at many pics of the original Nakhimov, I have found that quite in all pics the lateral walls of the turrets are in different colors respect to the turret's roofs and the rest of the superstructures.. so they were white when the hull was black and black when the rest of the ship was painted in white....

The next steps on this model will be the most challenging and complicated I ever made on a paper model.. All the central superstructure of the ship, surrounding the large funnel is positioned on a large number of pillars and aerial mountings, that brings the flying deck on top and, on this, there will be positioned the conning tower, the chart house and the binnacle and signal posts that will have their own aerial superstructure..

So, I think it will be a real challenge

Anyway... here below are some pics of the actual status of the Nakhimov model

Have an happy paper-modeling and .. stay safe !!

ciao

Jp

Just stunning work from stem to stern!
Always a joy (and very humbling) to watch one of your projects come together.

Awesome work, I only have one problem with your photographs, when I click on the picture for a bigger copy I get a message that I took the wrong turn and get some strange website !!

Pity !!

John,

which image gives you that page?
I have clicked on every picture in JP's last post, and all of them direct me to imgur to see the larger picture.

I am using chrome, and have no issues viewing the pictures.
maybe try a cell phone or reset the modem or router to clear out any issues

Beautiful work JP.
the work with the curved hull sides looks excellent.
I look forward to the central superstructure.
