Wonderful build. I love the looks of those old ships. They have a personality to them.

Thanks for sharing her with us.

Hello Veniamin

A very fine model, with a very good result!
I also like the fact that you have included non flat sailors...
Congratulations!

Cheers,
Rui

Check out the cast metal finish evident on the black portion of the hull, superstructure and guns--a very nice touch.

Is the basic kit from the Heller molds?

Beautuful looking ship, love the black which looks like old metal/iron like these dreds had in old photographs (all being B/W) very nice.
