sign of life.......


Rurik is now finished!!!!!!!!!


herewith a quick flash lit snapshot thru the glass case

a mere 12 hours of rigging and some careful seapainting has her looking very regal--and charging along at fair clip!

More and better photos here shortly--and then a build summary and a set of gallery photos in whats' new soon!


Phew!

Wow...she is a beauty. Great looking ship, exquisite looking model. Love the first photo - really captures the look. Well done Jim.

PS - I've moved this to the "Completed Models" forum.

This is really incredible Jim! Congratulations.
At first, I saw your piuctures before reading the posts. I thought it was the new 1/350 kit from Combrig, which I just bought through WEM. Now I notice it is...1/700!! really amazing! I doubt I will ever be able to attaint that level of detailing in 1/350 !!!

Anyway, I'll start very soon now on my model. Winter is still long!!! :wave_1:

Happy New Year!

Mark

P.S.: Now busy on Combrig 1/350 "le Hoche" or the "Grand Hotel"

Jim coming up from the depths of the site and WOW I see before me a stunning Rurik. Makes me lament over not perusing to completion my own 1:100 effort but life is full of IFs and might have beens but your Rurik is truly inspiring. One day I might just restart Rurik :heh:
