Wonderful job Jim. Stunning work. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Love that rigging.....................................

Fantastic! The detail is great, especially at this size. I doubt I could even measure that small accurately, let alone scratch it. I am very glad that there were progression shots to fully appreciate the many fine components. The detail of the masts, spars and rigging at this size was very ambitious and so well done.

OMG...I'm not worthy (que bowing smiley).

Thank you Jim for sharing your build process if even a tiny bit has rubbed off on to me I will be over the moon

There are some ship names that makes my ears go up like a golden retriever in front of a rabbit, Admiral Nakhimov belongs to those ones!
not only IMHO Jim is the best around at what he does, he is also quite special for me as he likes the same boats as I do!
fantastic build, great and generous SBS to read, as usual Jim's stuff kinda put new frontiers to what's humanely possible to do in terms of miniature and ship building.
now I can rub my head frantically on the wall and say "outstanding, outstanding, outstanding" for the whole evening

:-H

Jim,

I don't know how you do ships that small, it was hard for me to see and I was looking at the photo....LOL!
Great Job!!

It's great to have (finnaly) Jim's work published here!
As usual the workmanship, craftmanship and the trainned spiders make an excellent result!
Jim I owe you another at Telford

Cheers,
Skipper

Beautiful model.
I'm amazed by the detail.

Top build by the top dog himself, very special,

Cheers, Jim

Quite simply, an example of the best modelling in small scale you will see. We can all only look at Jim's work and take what we can from it to improve our own skills. Great to see you on here.

Well said, Mr. McCabe, and yes, I do agree whole heartedly on all above points, mate...

And just to keep the coals stoked, I have another Baumann feature in the works as we speak...
Keep watch,
