    Roger, The frame antenna serves for long-distance communication (FU = Funk = "radio") It looks that a few of these vehicles were equipped with additional radios and the accompanying antenna during the war. Depending on the type of radio, this was for communication with the commander and / or airforce support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Communications_of_the_German_Army_WW2 The disadvantage of these large antennas was that they were very visible. Later in the war, the frame antenna was replaced by a less visible "star" antenna. Because these vehicles became priority targets for the enemy (he who can not communicate with the headquarters can not ask for support or send information about the enemy). General info, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADGZ Thanks for asking And everyone thanks for the likes and to follow

    to be honest. this is the answer I was hoping for.

    Does anyone know what "the white stuff" looks like when a wooden ship is in the water for a few months? Or better , could have looked.. My idea was, painting with white or cream and thereafter weathering with a wash of dilute green. Examples of what I have in mind. Since I only have experience with painting military models. I now have absolutely no idea whether this is correct or totally wrong.

    Thanks Lawrence. Your G.H. also looks beautiful. Smaller scales are indeed difficult to add more detail.

    Ken, thank you for the positive comment and the link. Short run kits are indeed a challenge. But, only thanks to manufacturers such as ace. I can continue my hobby. Otherwise, with about 1400 models build, its scratchbuilding or semi scratchbilding for me

    question : When I look at my pictures and books. Then I have to provide 2 holes for the anchor cables. On most images the holes are quite large. And the round shape around it looks robust, sturdy my solution : (4 bolts will be added later) The view, as it is now, is not complete what I had in mind. I think I'm going to sand it a bit thinner Hase someone a better idea, or leave it as it is, or make thinner.

    I am thinking about it. But, all that work is later almost invisible. First must i decide how 'thick' the paint is going to be below the waterline. first i do "trail and error" on a test plank. Thanks for following and likes

    I think I'm ready with the treenails. For the treenails in the upper wales, I looked at examples of replicas and in other building logs on MSW. The planks between this wales are not ready yet.

    The front and rear wheel axles. A lot of cleaning work needed Left pre-cleaning, right is cleaned The middle axes are for later.

    Great idea. And explained step by step. thanks Michael

    If I have to saw or sand a lot. Then I work outside The disadvantage is that in winter the shipyard is usually "closed" I wear safety goggles, dust mask and ear protection

    A few days later, Details that are not good are sanded away and doors and hatches are made new.

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.
