1/50 "Vanya" (1905)

[raivo]

It's Russian cannon boat with 2 (75mm) cannons 6 (7,62mm) machine gun "maxim" and 1 anti air cannon (47mm) crew 78.
Real name in Russian.

Body carcass I build from plywood.

On this carcass I glued tin sheet.

I don't know how good this ship to feel in water but after seen...
Wen I waiting to get dry glue I build some other details for my ship.

This house is a entry in body front living quarters. It's 38x40x42mm opening door and bullet damaged window

It's has been experimental for material testing but looks like good for my ship (with little corrections)

Looks good so far! Neat idea to have bullet holes in the windows, gives a authentic feeling.

Hi Raivo Veryu interesting subject . Please keep us updated with your build.

[Timmy C]

Also like the bullet damage! Looking forward to more of this!

[raivo]

There is a next detail.
It's a pilot-house.

That all is glued with 120 wood details
Some day that all has been painted and looks better.

[Dave Wooley]

The pilot house is an excellent piece of workmanship .

Very nice. I will be checking back often for updates.

Love that wheelhouse! More please!

[raivo]

I think that my ship will need some light.
All my available LED was too big because of that I used LED from old mobile phone.
The switch is made from silicon.

Here light is in the wheelhouse.

Stove (with fire light), desk and dirty cooking pot for kitchen.

Kitchen and steam house carcass. I am going to plate it with tin. Windows from pill pack.

[MichelB]

A lit stove? Expletive, now I've seen everything! Impressive!

And the windows from a pill strip: that's ingenious!

Why buy if I have. it's just practically.

[raivo]

I am back
There is some details for show.
Steam room and kitchen. All doors has opening and inside has light. It's not fully finished.

Hatchway to engine room. All covers has opening.

And here is my ship body.

And here is my ship crew prototype.

It's made from wax. After from this provided to create a few from silicon and inside aluminum skeleton (one individual can to strike a pose how I want) , and in the boots little magnets (don't need glued because my ship has from metal).
But reality is not to sweet...
Too biggest problem has block creation. First time I cant take out finished product but second time my to prototype and he don't survive.
But I don't think to surrender!
