Piotr Velikij WWI, Russian 1:200
Hi for everyone , I'm new in this forum, and i want to present their project. A few months ago I started modeling one of battleship from magazine "W.M.C" card model.
Short history: Petr Velikiy (Russian: Пётр Великий – Peter the Great) was an ironclad turret ship built for the Imperial Russian Navy during the 1870s. Her engines and boilers were defective, but were not replaced until 1881. The ship made a cruise to the Mediterranean after they were installed, and before returning to the Baltic Fleet, where she remained for the rest of her career. She did not, like the rest of the Baltic Fleet, participate in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Petr Veliky was deemed obsolete by the late 1890s, but she was not ordered to be converted into a gunnery training ship until 1903. The Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05 slowed her reconstruction, and the ship was not completed until 1908. She spent most of World War I as a training ship, although she became a depot ship for submarines in 1917. Petr Veliky was in Helsinki in March 1918 when the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk required the Soviets to evacuate their naval base at Helsinki or have their ships interned by newly independent Finland even though the Gulf of Finland was still frozen over. The ship reached Kronstadt in April 1918 and was hulked on 21 May 1921. She remained in service with the Soviets, in various secondary roles, until she was finally stricken from the Navy List in 1959 and subsequently scrapped. General characteristics Type: Turret ship Displacement: 10,406 long tons (10,573 t) Length: 333 ft 8 in (101.7 m) Beam: 63 ft (19.2 m) Draft: 24 ft 9 in (7.5 m) Installed power: 8,258 ihp (6,158 kW) Propulsion: 2 shafts, 2 Horizontal return connecting rod-steam engines 12 rectangular boilers Speed: about 13 knots Armament: 2 × 2 – 12-inch (305 mm)/20 guns 6 × 1 – four-pounder guns 2 × 1 – one-pounder Gatling-type machine guns 4 × spar torpedoes Armor: Belt: 8–14 in (203–356 mm) Citadel: 14 in (356 mm) Deck: 2.5–3 in (64–76 mm) Gun turrets: 14 in (356 mm) Some photos of my project.

Very clean work. The hull is very hansome both in design, color and execution. THe use of a mm ruler emphasises your skills.Keep going. I would have totally overlooked this model had I not seen your build. Thanks
