ORP"Burza"- the beginning of general repair-start

[Orion]

Hi

I`ve been begining the general repair of destroyer the ORP"Burza" since last week.
I worked out him in scale 1:100 and I made one on the ground of cardboard paper cut-out
"Maly Modelarz" (MM) with 1984 year scale 1:200 twenty years old.
This`s binder :


The model presents after reconstruction destroyer's technical state in 1955y.
I would like to make with 1939y(H73) or example 44 this ship:

The ORP"Wicher" was very similar , identical ship .

Here pictures before:
Destroyed destroyer(nice "game" of words )

And so this looks at present :

Will this be successful me to make? We will see...
There will be a lot of work to do, however it`s necessery one.
Many elements of model I have to project again.
Continuation will happen...

Greeting

Hi, Orion!

Great model, and I am looking forward to more updates as you go along.

Is there a history of this model you would like to share with us...such as when it was first built by you and what you are going to do to "repair" her?

Cheers!

Jim

Hi
I would like to remember to my subject did not get lost in "precipices of forum".
The works over repair of ORP"Burza" be continued.
I`ve been working over fore platform(bridge) since two weeks
but end "is not visible".
I`ve modeler's plans (PM nr 143 ORP "Wicher") from this times.
I succeeded to give plans ....though it was "very heavily" it find.
"Work" goes very slowly because I want to execute him very in detail according to plans.

Here a few pictures with works over model:

Hi
So, then it will be complete and total change the superstructure of hulk.
How I wrote already, it will concern the " exchange" of model of ORP"Burza" with 1955 year
on model with 1935-37 years.
I did not decide yet : I will execute with 1935 year or with 1937/39 years(!?)
They differed with equipment(on exemple: poop pole ), weapons, etc. imperceptibly.

And now the something about realization of details:

I project all elements from new according to plans and a I execute a few
(more elements) it than was one needed and I choose "the best".
This is labour-intensive but I have "some" choice...
I used small plastic netting after fruit to realization of netting round the gun platform:


I`ve not the airbrush unfortunately and I`m painting all by hand( the brushes)
and a... I employ paints the "Humbrol" as well as the Polish paints the "Astor".
I sometimes use paints in spray to large surfaces.

It`s me to describe hard the realization of doors(every of ones has 6-12 elements).
I think, that the picture of details " they will say" more:



"Bowdenja", How I`ve to answer you? ......generally:
They are three thing, I which learnt
1.a lot of patience
2.a lot of patience
and a......
3.a lot of patience

It was can add to this:
a lot of time( I am "young" pensioner at present),
desire,
the acquaintance of history of executed model( the man the whole life learns),
technical experience....
and any different......own ideas and .....beer :lol:

I greet....and Thanks
I`ve hope, then what I wrote is comprehensible because my "english" it`s not good

Hi

I temporarily, on this stage of works, finish the building of fore superstructure . It lacks the equipment of platforms yet, but I will execute this after installing on hulk superstructure.
I`m going repair hulk .
I think, that works will be quicker, because there`re no small changes of elements . I have to work out over hulk because I`ve not "the point of reference"( comparison ).
A few pictures with last works:
