Looks really nice.

Thanks again, Scott, Carl, & Barry. Barry: I will try to shoot a picture of my Russian predreadnought fleet for you, but I will have problems with the focus even though the models are very small compared to your 1/200 scale models. I will post it a little later. Carl: One of these days...

Golden Bear, Cgutzmer, Scott K., B-Manic: Thanks for your complements. Cgutzmer: I ended up posting the pictures to the gallery (It took a little fiddling around as the gallery is set up a little differently) & linking the pictures there to the forum. I couldn't get the attachment feature...

I meant to comment on your catapult earlier. Very skillful cutting! I couldn't do it myself. I would be overcutting all the bracing. Looks like very complicated work on the pagoda. Looks really HARD!

Hope this works. I've been struggling with attachments.

Sir Barry: I don't know if the Queen appreciates Air Bob confering the Order of the Garter on you! However, lesser modelers such as I will agree to call you "sir!" I wish I had your computer skills. Your hull came out very well. Any thought to reinforcing it from the inside?

Say, how many guns do you need, anyway? Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. Very good job on the hull and the gun mounting.

Looks really, really good. Well done!

Excellent tip. Great looking funnels.

My condolences on your father's death.

1/200 is the realm of really serious modelers. Water's too deep & cold for me. You're off to a good start. Good luck!

Wow! Very high tech presentation. Really different & highly attractive, especially with how well your model looks.

cygileski's comment about Polish reaction Very interesting comment. I guess it would be understandable that many Poles would be upset by a model of the ship, whose gunfire signaled the start of the invasion of Poland, which, in turn, marked the start of WWII and all the entailing suffering...

Thanks art deco & alcides. Nice photo, art deco. Can you add waves? Wish I knew how to do that. My Kodak software also allows me to tint my photos with a sepia effect, which also makes the photos look old, but not like the one you posted. As for drawings, I had been using drawings from...

Thanks eibwarrior, clashster, & amazyah for your comments. The Russians and the French (as Renaud mentions) were early to recognize the advantages of placing secondary guns in turrets. I like the Russian & French predreadnoughts because they are less generic and more extreme looking...

Below are images of my model of the Tsarist predreadnought battleship Rostislav. Rostislav served with the Black Seas fleet during WWI. This model is part of an ongoing project of mine to build samples of the Tsarist predreadnought fleet. While playing with my Kodak Easyshare...

If you have 1/1200 scale & want to upscale, I would recommend 1/600 in view of the fact that you already have 1/600 models in your collection. I'm not sure if you would get good quality reproductions at 2.0 magnification. Size wise, it is a good scale that does not take up an enormous amount...

Very well done so far. Looks like the end result will be excellent. This ship has a very complicated casemate system, which I imagine would be pretty difficult to build. How is the kit in this regard?

Most perfect!

Looks good so far, but looks like your offerings of food and beverage to the card model gods are not working. You eat at your work desk, huh?
