    A lot of wing area, a lot of lift. Lots of drag, too.

    Looking super Alan! When I built my Scharnhorst, I must have knocked some of the small parts off a dozen times and had to re-glue them during the process. You're doing a great job of building it then keeping it all together.

    Thanks OC. I thought they might look more precise than what I could do making my own paint mask. The flags are vastly better than the Trumpeter ones that come with the kit.

    Peddinghaus decals arrived.

    I loved that show when I was young. Thanks for the good memories. Made me laugh thinking about it.

    Gorgeous! Beautiful work.

    Just found your build log Grant. Beautiful project! Your work looks superb. Going to take my time looking through all your wonderful photos of the pumper.

    Great project Denis! Just found your build log. Love the oldies like this, they bring back so many good old memories.

    Hi Gary I just found your build log for this wonderful project. It's simply beautiful and so much fun to see. Going to take my time and look very closely at all the photos just to take it all in. Fantastic craftsmanship. Love it.

    Real life got in the way of modeling today. Maybe tomorrow will be more favorable conditions for Der Tourenvagen. Think I'll name her, Helga. I did listen to some good music while I was working:

    Thanks Edward...glad you're aboard!

    That's a lot of quality detail painting your doing there, OC. With a hairy stick no less! Great job.

    I get it...I had not read your post on the Prinz Eugen until now. 😄

    I have a vignette planned for this car.

    Welcome aboard Ken. Come get behind the wheel and sit a spell. 🙂

    Engine under construction.

    While I wait on a parts order for Prinz Eugen, going to begin construction of the Tourenwagen.

    Thanks Mike!

    I'll be postponing further construction posts on Prinz Eugen until I receive the detail items I've ordered which should arrive in a few weeks.

    Thanks for the comments and for looking in, Mike. After getting started on this model, I decided to order a wood deck application 1/700 Wooden Deck+Chain fr Trumpeter 05766 German Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen 1942 | eBay and a set of Peddinghaus decals Peddinghaus 1/700 Prinz Eugen Heavy Cruiser Markings with Camouflage Norway 3470 | eBay. I think these sets will enhance the model and have wanted to try out the Peddinghaus decals for a while now. They first caught my interest when I saw them for the Scharnhorst. If I like them, I have some other ship models I may order them to fit.

    Thanks OC The gray color on the hull is the main gray color for the entire ship, with camo markings in darker shades of gray. For reference, the gray color used here is Mr Hobby 308.

    Trumpeter did a decent job on the level of detail included in the kit. Here, the main superstructure and deck is a multi piece affair. The fit to the main deck is very good.
  23. CDW
    Middle is very convincing.

    Hope your wife makes a complete and speedy recovery. Take good care of her, hobbies can wait.

    Lou I think the windex and hot water might be the ticket. I’ll give that a try next time I spray acrylic.

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.
