1/350 Suvorov (Eastern Express)
Here are some shots of Eastern Express Suvorov in 1/350 scale. I modified the stern with a scratch built roof; it should look like the actual Suvorov rather than some other ship of the Borodino Class. The funnels should have been a little bit taller, then I added the usual railings and anchor chains. My interest for this ship was born some years ago, when I read the book "Tsushima" by Frank Thiess, and Admiral Rozhdestvensky became for me a symbol of the unlucky hero. I found by chance a nice russian website http://ship.bsu.by/main.asp?id=102466 , where you can see some interesting photos of the ships of the Russian-Japanese war and of other pre-dreadnoughts: names are in Cyrillic, but with a bit of fantasy one can figure out the ship names.
