And it is exactly that "microscopic" part which precludes me for attempting a build like this. Hats off to you, Vladimir.Thank you Marco. Yes, it's realistic, but microscopic
Launch of the ship "Twelve Apostles" in 1:48, Master Korabel [COMPLETED BUILD]
I like the details of this kit very much - and well executed
Clean and accurate work

Some small and barely visible, but necessary details: the twarts' chocks and the washboards shuts (between the tholes) - sorry, I don't know the right word. The rest of interior is oiled.
Going on with other small details - metal knees for the thwarts and ropes for the washboard shutters (but first 40 eyebolts for them).
Round platform for the carronade.
A great advantage of this kit is that you can model any possible situation and put your carronade in different positions (all the photos below are by Master Korabel):
1) On the bows. It's possible only without rigging:
2) Astern (only without rigging too):
3) Amidships:
4) And in transport position (under sails, especially in bad weather):

As I know - at the moment the export version is not ready yet.
Are you building the pilot version? What would be the difference for an export version?

The english manual is not ready yet ;-)

really a beatiful and highly interesting kit - and well executed - BRAVO (modeler and kit manufacturer)
The carronade mount (not completed yet):
The carronade is on its mount. I modified it a little and tried to simulate the thread of the elevation mechanism.
It's been a long break, but it's over I added more small metal details in the bulwark and spent a lot of time making the 20 oars.

Good morning Vladimir. Good to see some more of your work. That is a lot of oars. Did you make these from a length of wood on a lathe? If so do you shape the blade of the oar last? I have some to make later and am interested in the process. Awesome work as always. Cheers GrantIt's been a long break, but it's over

Hello Grant and thank you. My technology is a bit different.
1) The oars' shape is laser-cut:
2) First I remove the excessive thickness of the shaft and the blade with sandpaper, and form the blade's profile.
3) And then I round the shaft by hand with a knife this way:
Since I'm afraid it's too thin for lathe (only 1.5 mm). The same for the handle.

Good morning Vladimir. Thanks for this. I appreciate the help. Cheers Grant
Hi all,
I decided to bring some diversity in my work, and instead of finishing the hull took to the masting. All the masts and spars don't have their metal details yet. For making them I used the same technology as for the oars. Sadly, I have broken the gaff, so now I need to order a new part and wait for it, o maybe I'll try to do it myself.
