building the interior. The standard version (with a new floor) of the command variant Added some extra's. The idea is building a vehicle at the beginning of the winter 42/43 eastern front. The enterprising crew will not be cold this winter. And has improvised a makeshift stove from a drum Oops plastic surgery needed ... The interior has a base coat of light gray and the "oops moment" is solved 👍

Thanks for the nice comments. Finishing the anchors. With the anchors of the Mary Rose as an example. The stock is always slightly shorter than the anchor The stock has been sanded to the correct shape. And there is a combination of tree nails and bolts make the rings. This is not soldered, the risk of melting plastic is too great. The rings are wrapped with black thread Painted. the wood is collored with thinned light grey and polished. The metal (plastic) is first painted in black, then a wash met thinned metal paint. And last a wash with rust color And, finally decided. The next project will be the Mary Rose scale 1/48 Thanks for following

I did hear my father tell of an abandoned German truck (September 44) Once it was certain that the Germans were not coming back, the truck was quickly looted... My mother told me about big planes flying overhead. And little planes that kept flying around the big ones... And then empty casings (.50 ammo) fell from the sky And retreating Germans (Sept. 44) closely followed by Polish soldiers. And a few V1s fell nearby later in the war. Back to the buses The reworked ambulance is ready Had some problems with the front axle of the omnibus. This has been replaced by one from the parts box. 2 ready and bumber 3 started This bus is equipped with an interior. That is why I came up with the idea of working with open doors. Hopefully this idea will work

Time to think about the next Opelbus. Box and content. And, i almost forgot that I already had an Opel bus 😇. A model from the company Archer in resin. Judging by the numbering, it must have been built about 25 years ago. This model was made of a single block of resin and 4 wheels. This one gets a small update and becomes an amulance bus

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.
