Hello fellow modellers.
I will be short. I really enjoyed Mike's self-designed Ulfberht ship. I decided that my third ship model would be a warship from this era. Without prior research, just by the nice color photo on the cover of the publishing house H.M.V. I chose the German Coast Guard S.M.S. Beowulf.
I was very disappointed with the model I received. Instead of a model with assembly diagrams, I received a model with a gadget, a long literary - artistic work. That the work was not in my native language was not the main problem. The poorly thought out and unclear numbering of the details was also a problem. In my opinion, the designer of the model had exhausted himself with the design of the very well-matched parts and did not concern himself with the preparation of assembly diagrams. Once I established that, I was ready to consign the model to the trash. But I was curious about the model and started looking for some additional information about it. And... Hooray. I found that our friend Mike posted the build of this ship. Now I'm trying to recreate it too, learning from what Mike did, for which I thank him heartily.
I apologize for my verbal outpouring and here are the first photos from the construction.
