'Rome was not built in a day!'
I am starting 1/200 scale of Roma by wood.

Hi Song Jongi know your models and are very well done.
this battleship you are doing follow the same philosophy all wood?
very good

A very fine and traditional method of built .
Dave Wooley

Right people place your bets, Song Jung Gun, can't possibly produce the Roma as good as his cruise liner, this is a whole different beast, and the days can't come quick enough, really want to see build come alive.
Of course I have to step away from the fact this will be wood not resin or plastic, once I have centred my thought, I know judging by the last masterpiece, this is strongly wow factor.

Another piece of art on the slipway

Song Jung!

I have built the Roma --albeit the 'easy way'' ...(!! ) using the fundamentally excellent but nevertheless flawed resin kit from Axis models. I do have some useful photos that I wish to e-mail to you

Please send me an e-mail to:

jbys1remove@tiscali.co.uk

and I will send you some useful images back

This is a very helpful resource

Mr Barbieri studied the Roma for 25 years, during which he built what is probably the ultimate model of Roma--although it shows a boat fit that she never carried....

What plans are you using? I have some fine 1/100 plans....




Meanwhile you can see my model here:

A difficult job skillfully done
Dave Wooley

Judging by the office drawers, this Roma looks like she's a good 2.5 foot long, my advice would obviously be, keep Jim Baumann under your arm, he will help you as much as you wish.

install decks.

It's the pictures of shaft,strut,bossing,rudders,...

Stunning workmanship .
Dave Wooley
