It kind-of stalled, but I haven't lost interest in it, so hopefully I'll continue it soon.

It's been pointed out to me that the bulwarks didn't have the thick parts for hammocks, but rather there was a trough running along the outer edge for them, so I had to re-do it. Here is the result of the redoing:

I love your method. Wish I could work that small.

Continuing with the construction of the hull. I finished the superstructure and to add the more 3D effect to the ship I decided to open up some of the hatches in the hull and show the ladders descending tin the hull. I used a Dremel to hollow out the space below the deck and cut the holes in the deck:

Next step was building the bulwarks. I didn't find any photos of the deck on the gunboat, so I took a look at other Russian ships of the era and saw that the sailor's hammocks were usually stored in the bulwarks, so they were pretty thick in some places - so that is what I did, made the spaces between the gun ports thicker:
Image


The rest of the sides were done using my usual method of CA glue impregnated paper. I cut out the gun ports in it and glued it to the sides of the hull. I also made the bow casemate. The rounded roof was made by making a master and then heatforming the plastic using it.

That is is for now. The hull is basically ready, now I need to add the small details to it and start working on the interior of the casemate.

I love the reverse sheer bow fierce face look--with the rather elegant and apologetic counter stern!!

Yes, that is what drew me to it as well :). The cool part is the forward casemate is open from the back so I'll be able to detail it and have it be visible this time :).

Another beautiful and interesting work of Vladimir.

I remeber the Sisoy Veliky and the monitor Udarnyi. Beatiful works. I´m making the dreadnought. How long is the gunboat?
Sorry by language.

Thanks, It's about 8.5cm long. 60m in real life.

Having finished all of my previous projects for the US Nationals, it's now time to start a new project which I've wanted to do for a while - Russian RJW vintage gunboat Bobr. It was built in 1883, displaced 1200 tons and was armed with a 9" gun in the bow casemate and a 6" gun at the stern, as well as some smaller guns. It was extensively used in the defense of Port Arthur and was sunk by siege artillery towards the end of the siege.

There isn't that much info on it, but I did manage to find some drawings for it published back in the 1980s. I'm going to build it in the defense of Port Arthur configuration. Here is how it will look like:
Image

As usual for me the lower part of the hull was done using the styrene sandwich with the deck plan glued on top. The was later sanded down to the exact shape:
Image
Image

As a next step I added the rails for the guns (the gunboat still had the old style mounts that rode on rails) and started doing the superstruture):
Image
Image

That all for now. Once I finish the superstructure I'll start working on the bulwarks.

Vladimir
