    Thanks guys, well that was a daft mistake, still this one was special order, he wanted it heavier for better road holding so had it made out of iron, think I got out of that quite well, and a very convincing story if I do say so myself😄

    Worked on rusting and dirtying the bodywork.
  13. kpnuts
    More done to this poor old thing.
  14. kpnuts
    Hi all bit more rusting done.
  15. kpnuts
    I have a story for that, a wealthy banker stored it in a barn at the start of ww11 so the Germans didn't get hold of it and maybe died or went abroad and forgot about it.

    Started dirtying up the chassis, got so many ideas about staging this wreck, I really want to show the chassis and engine separate from the bodywork, thinking in a barn with body parts piled up somewhere, so many ideas.

    So I'm getting less and less impressed with this kit, the instructions would have you in stages 1 and 2 glue parts 32c and 33c in then in stage 8 would have you attach the silver wire with the vinyl tube the chain is very fragile and the tube is a very tight fit, thus its an impossible task (at least without risking breaking the chain, also you have to add the silver wire to a slot in the back of parts 32c and33c which is on the inside and so can't be seen. I had to carefully remove the parts to attatch the wires then glue the parts back in with the wires already attached. They would have been better saying to attach the wires at stage 1 before you glue the parts in place, doing that would not interfere with any assy after that and would make life so much easier.

    Hi all more done to this, did the exhaust with a combination of pastels and paint, quite pleased with how it's coming along, doing the corrosion on the water pipe with a combo of talc and pastels ground up (need to get more texture on it yet, may use a bit of salt)
  19. kpnuts
    More work on this
  20. kpnuts
    Hi all bit more done to the engine.
  21. kpnuts
    I used to have a YouTube channel but deleted it because i had someone tell me the traction avant wasn't about in ww11 I said it was and posted some pics on there it got very abusive from there on to the point of saying they would find me and kill me (obviously they couldn't, or I hope so) anyway lots of links to stuff I posted on there obviously don't work now.
  22. kpnuts
    Finished the truck.
  23. kpnuts
    I know it's the hard way round but I've decided to do it as a barn find first then do it as a full restoration. So far I've used these two items for the start of the weathering And made a start weathering the engine. And added some body colour to the chassis.

    Hi all whilst waiting to find the stuff to continue the bugatti I decided to start this. I've built a few of these kits, first thing I've noticed is they have changed the con rod to crankshaft connection and I don't see it lasting 10 seconds when it's running, still I think if I remove the con rods and pistons (as long as I leave the crankshaft I think it will still work so I may remove them.

    Hi all sorry I've not posted progress on this for a while, since I stopped building I put all my modelling stuff in the shed ( we have the grandchildren in the spare room when we have them and don't want to take risks with the dangers of model supplies and our precious grand children) I have favorite products for painting engines and can't find any of them in the places I thought I put them in the shed. I've filled and primed the engine but done nothing else to it so not really anything worth posting, I will find the paints I'm looking for, this is really just to say I've not stopped again.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
