Finished scratchbuilding a new model in 1/700 scale. Test your knowledge of the obscure and tell me what it is (for the Russian guys if you saw the answer on one of the Russian forums please keep it to yourself

).

I'll take more photos and write an article on the subject a little later

.

Vladimir

I have no idea what ship that is - but it a very, very sharp build!

No fair Vladimir, you always build those little known obscure ships. But it sure looks sweet!

It's Russian, Pre-1917.

Vladimir,

I too have no idea what ship she is...........BUT.............I do LOVE that bow wake. Hows about telling us how you made that. Do I detect some "cotten ball" there? The bow wake looks REAl, so it certainly complements the build itself.

Regards
Steve

Ok the answer is - this is a never built ship. It is a Russian Navy's Cruiser-Minelayer project of 1916. The work in the designs started in 1915 and by the end of 1916 the designs were ready, but then the February 1917 the revolution happened and the projects were shelved. Since there was almost no information about this ship I took the only drawing available and scaled it down to 1/700. The model was based on these two drawings:
