Pantyhose I got from my mother about 10 years ago, I figure that that one pair will last me for the rest of my life :). As to attaching them - I just dip the end into the puddle of medium thickness CA glue and touch it to the place where it is supposed to attach-to. It's enough for it to glue itself to the deck. I give it couple of minutes to dry and then stretch it out and glue it to the other end. Its extremely strong, I accidentally pulled on one strand and broke off yard with it, but the string didn't break.

I use pantyhose string.

Finally got an inspiration to finish the model so I started where I left off 5 months ago and added all of the davits and ship's boats:

Also painted the masts:

In the case of Combrig, the model was one of the first that they produced and the plans that they used were the best available at the time but were simply wrong.

That is the book that I'm using. There is also a free set of plans that is available on the internet:

Supposedly these are the most accurate plans out there. I have no way to verify them, but they do seem to work well with the photos.

Oh, no doubts about that; the reason I asked was to see if the kit inaccuracies would have been apparent with plan provided.

Some of the plan/profiles in Combrig kits have proved to be far superior to others. :wink:

Combrig's Sissoi Veliky kit is one that I haven't gotten yet, mainly due to concerns about it being one of their early "free of hull detail" kits.

While I *probably* could have lived with the kit inaccuracies (are the kit supplied plans the same as the plans you're working from, Vladimir?), this build is really showing me the light!

Thank you for sharing, Valdimir, and WOW. :thumbs_up_1:

Jef! Good to see you, it's been ages!

Yes, Sisoy is magnificent, absolutely fantastic work. Can't wait to see her finished, but take your time, don't rush on my account... :thumbs_up_1: :big_grin:

Wanted to finish the ship before the Nationals but didn';t finish it after all, and got tired of it, so I'm taking a break but here is what I've finished during that building marathon.

Built the turrets, and the masts (the fighting top took about 8 or 9 tries to do as it was very hard to do a circular small part with cutouts). Did the railings and started to do the boat davits
