    Last of the ship’s boats done, davits slung Out.

    It does not seem like much, but 2 days work to rig the railings. I have only done a single rail amidships as this appears on original photos. I’ve also added the 12 waist gun barrels and 6 88mm’s.

    Probably

    Sigh. I tried it on scrap pieces ages ago and did not like the outcome. Maybe some oils.
  25. RGL
    Tried, wrong at this scale. Stepping back it’s not too bad. The decks would be hardwood in real life. So if wet would look almost black, if dried out, grubby. I can play with it a bit but if real it would be a like plastic deck. Using pastels with a fixer will lose the detail of the planks.
  26. RGL
    Yes I know, the thing is when you stain it the waxy pre chewed deck’s planking disappears

    Pretty much as much as I can do on the forcastle.
  29. RGL started following Cruiser Varyag 1901 by Valeriy V - scale 1:75

    You sir, are amazing. I’m loving the build.

    Returning to the forecastle, I removed the home made chain stoppers and replaced them with Pelican hooks which are correct. Three are loose as I intend to have an anchor hanging down. You can just make out lines running to the capstan and bollards which will be run down to the torpedo net booms later.
  32. RGL
    Back at work now, which has slowed me up. Lots of tiny details to collate again before the next update. It’s now up to me build partners.
  33. RGL
    That is awesome
  34. RGL
    Ok, what’s next?
  35. RGL
    Thanks. Using 1/700 destroyer bollards I’ve rigged the first half of the brailing davits. I also added 6 German coaling winches to the deck. Starboard side done
  36. RGL
    Now the aftermarket set provides brailing davits with no placement instructions or even folding instructions. I’ve taken a self educated guess as to their placement. I’ve replaced the kit and aftermarket sets railing with individual stanchions.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model shipcraft.

The Nautical Research Guild puts on ship modeling seminars, yearly conferences, and juried competitions. We publish books on ship modeling techniques as well as our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, whose pages are full of articles by master ship modelers who show you how they build those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you what details to build.
