Hi Mike, yes the designer is oliver Weiss - such an embarrasment I didn't mention him in my opening statement. I too like the Tzars yacht - floating palace -Livadia and might someday consider trying to build her.
I got the hull glued together and started fitting the barge. Hull is in three pieces and I tell you it's no picnic to assemble her. Look at the kit photos in the first post. Edge colouring should be made really suttle, you need quite many tabs you have to fabricate yourself and most of all do not hurry - let the glue cure completely before you take the your next step.
My build is not an example of what can be achieved with this model but I give you couple of hints: edge clouring with water colour or acrylics only and mix your colour carefully to match.
BTW the stone weighed 50 tons. :D
More to come later,
Tappi
