Good morning to all paper modelers !!
The building of Admiral Nakhimov model is going on, constantly but a bit slower than planned (fortunately the job activities are going on in a good way, also in this pandemic moment and there is not so much spare time available for the model like in the past months..)
Anyway.. one of the parts that I was afraid of this model was the stern area with admiral's walk and railings around.. In the kit the railings are designed as a continuing paper stripe.. but I absolutely prefer to build by myself this parts avoiding also (whenever is possible) photo-etched parts
And so, I have re-designed the rail of admiral' walk in order to built it completely by paper.. The task has been done and I'm enough satisfied from result.
Now to complete this part of the ship remains only to put the Imperial Eagle ensign on the rail, put laterally the two Hotchkiss revolving guns and position the windows covers in opened position.
After this I'll start to build the very complicate superstructure of the ship.
Anyway...here few pics of the model at the actual stage ..
Have an happy paper modeling and stay safe !!
ciao
