Hi there :)
I know that it's already started model but I hope it'll be allowed.
I bought this 1/400 battleship Potemkin about a year ago. I began it but after some serious fitting problems and serious falls from shelf I throw it on "shelf-of-doom".
Yesterday, after Scale Model Fest in Bytom I had almost a quarrel with my fiancee :) I bought 1/32 Revell Gripen. Surprisingly price wasn't a problem. The problem was that...I have a lot of models that she wants to see finished and strangely I don't want to finish them :) So I have no choice and here it is: batleship Potemkin, made by Oгонок company in USSR in '60 (I think so).
Here it's look by now:

I shall allow it! Especially in the spirit of clearing the bench/"shelf of doom" and maintaining marital bliss

That era of ships have soooo much character.
Look forward to seeing Potemkin finished OOB or bashed (little or lot).

My fiancee knows where to find this topic so I have to move forward with this work :)
After some painting:
Broken masts were repaired and funnel details added. Some deck wash is there also.

It was one of the worst models that I ever put together. Only quality of styrene was good. Instruction wasn't clear, paint scheme non existent, terrible fit etc. I'm proud of stand only :)
More photos in the "Finished models" section (whet it'll be here:))

Always liked these pre dreadnought style battleships
Of course I always tend to see HMS Thunderchild from War of the Worlds.
Great job
