Pictures of Model Russian Cruiser Novik.

Posts 1 to 3

Hi all, Here are some pics of the Combrig-kit of the Russian cruiser Novik in 1/350 scale, in pre-1905 war colours. The model was really a treat to build. After cleaning all parts thoroughly with detergent, I sprayed the hull with a can of matt white car primer. Decks are Humbrol russian brown end funnels Humbrol tan, with a dash of yellow. The resin masts supplied in the kit were discarded ande replaced with brass tube. Rigging is very fine fishing line. Photoetched railings are from the kit. The "sea" was made from hardboard and dark sea gray and blue acryl paint mixed with transparent hobby glue. While still wet, a sheet of transparent polyester foil from the model trains hobby shop (Faller) was pressed on top. When dry, I placed the model in the middle and cautiously cut out the waterline contours with a sharp X-Acto knife. The ship was finally glued in place, and a strip of anchor chain added. I now plan to "bring it alive" somewhat by gluing various crew members on deck (Eduard photoetched sailors) and adding a launch or two cruising past. I hope you like my model. HMS Royal Sovereign (1892) is nearly finished too and I'm currently working on HMS Dreadnought (1906), both Commander-Iron Shipwrights models. Marc

Thanks for posting these Marc although you seem to have posted this using two different threads. Also we have a dedicated section for any posts and pictures of models so I have combined and moved them there. .

Everything we obtain for this site is shown on the site, we do not have any more photos, crew lists or further information on any of the ships.
