Here are a couple of photos of my current build - the Russian cruiser Variag. The ship was actually designed and built in America at a time when the Russian Czar was outsourcing his ship building as part of an expansion program, so the main interest lies in its distinctive American design features. Just requires completion of the railings and rigging, which will be home-made from cotton using the method illustrated ( all credit to David Hathaway of the UK for this method).
