Building the Oktabriskaya Revolutsia

The kit's forward funnel base was incorrectly proportioned, it did not allow the placement of the first level of stairs... the shaded area shows the area that had to be cut away

As all stairs between the bridge levels are visible from certain angles cutouts had to be made and the twinsets of stairs inserted at every decklevel, this required some creative deck carving and adjustment-accomplished by the judicious use of white glue and slips of paper



The next bridge deck level up required the addition of MG platforms, these were made after the handrail had formed the outline thereof by infilling the apertures thereby formed with thinned white glue, hence ensuring no excess thickness



The upper (with windows) bridge level had a roof of canvas. This I made using thinned white glue, however so as to prevent it from sagging and to give the meniscus something to grab I installed some paper supports and then backfilled with the glue.
