    No fishing... This painting is about the armada. When it turned out that the planned invasion of England was not going to happen. The horses needed for the land war became obsolete. The solution was to throw the horses overboard... cruel time, the 16th century...

    Small update Glued the "flukes" (triangles) And after lots of careful filing and sanding i have this result It looks pretty much the same as in the book

    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

    I think these Tatras are designed befor this opel bus. and a time before the German invasion of Czechoslovakia. Their technical knowledge was highly regarded (Tatra : cars, trucks Skoda : tanks). Maybe the opel bus is influenced by the Tatra design.

    Nice work. I can find some info in my books.

    Well seen. The opel bus could well be related to Tatra. But I do not think they where family 😉

    Only one vehicle of this type of bus would have been used by the Whermacht. For transport of officers. The original intention was to transport passengers between cities. The seats in the rows are angled at 45 degrees to give travelers a better view outside.

    The anchors and accessories First study about how they might have looked like. Source the Gresham ship (top right) and the Mary Rose. And sketches of anchors, anchor buoy anchor david, blocks. The anchor david One of the Mary rose has been recovered. He should have remained afloat for a while after the sinking of the ship. Where it will come on this model, no idea yet. The anchors are made of 3 layers of styrene (total 2.5mm thick) After cutting, filing and sanding, this is the provisional result. The shank of the smallest is still a little too thick, I just noticed in the picture.

    well done. indeed, with models like the Mayflower and the Golden Hind, no one can say you made a mistake. but you can never claim that you are doing it the right way. Haha 😉.

    Nice model Jack I also had cataract surgery. It takes a while to heal. But with a good lamp as a help, I can now do my modeling without glasses 👍 Patience, and everything will become ok

    The "supporting structures" These are knees. Types and how to remember. Hanging knees hang one the ceiling. Standing knees stand on the floor. lodging knees lie horizontal.

    Very nice work. Seeing your build, makes me think to give a card model like this a try.

    Finished. Not an exotic model. But something special, and bigger than I first thought. And probably designed by someone who had never driven an armored car. The poor driver only had a peephole on his front. What happened to his left and right he could never have seen... No more room left in the Italian WW2 corner Thanks for following, comments and likes

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.
