Shar2 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Here is my build for this GB. It's one of the first 1:200 kits that Trumpeter produced and it's actually rather good. One piece hull with some nice detail, although I will be augmenting these with a couple of Voyager etched sets. Now started. Rudder and skegs added, lower hull painted
Panzer Vor!!! Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 looks good chap looks familer where you get that from??????
Shar2 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 Don't know mate, some dodgy geezer sold it to me. Anyway, bit more done. Hull and decks painted. The foredeck has a bit of a twist in it which till be fun to remove when gluing to the hull.
Panzer Vor!!! Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 dodgy geezer??????? very neat chap but should n,t it have a white waterline????????
Shar2 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 dodgy geezer??????? very neat chap but should n,t it have a white waterline???????? I've seen pictures of it with both. It appears that when it was in Russian service it had white whilst in Chinese it was black.
Madam I'm Adam Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Nice little tub Neat build so far but I guess I wouldn't expect anything less!! Adam

Iain Ogilvie Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 You guys really scare me with how quickly you make progress on these ship things... Cracking start Iain
Shar2 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 Bit more done today. Most parts are just dry fitted to the hull. Bit of touching up then I can glue them in place.
Shar2 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Things tidied up and now on with the smaller parts.
Deacon Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 This is looking great mate. You really are cracking on with it too. Deacon
Shar2 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 Nearly done now. Just a bit more touching the paintwork up and adding the railings.
Shar2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Well, that's it, done, well, apart from a bit of weathering.
Rosco Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 You rattled that one up quickly. What size is she ?
Shar2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 You rattled that one up quickly.What size is she ? Check out the first couple of photos, I put a steel rule as a guide.
Basosz Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 wow... that was fast !! Qualifies as big too. That looks about 60 cm long (when looking at the ruler) Nice job Shar

Iain Ogilvie Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 As I've said numerous times before - it amazes me how quickly you guys can build ships - and to such a high standard! Iain
