    Great work. yes, you do have "scratch skills" 😉

    thank you for explaining. It would be a mess in this small densely populated country if there were no rules. But our national "hobbies" are : avoid taxes as much as possible and to interpret the rules as broadly as possible . You can freely buy an air rifle, but you are not allowed to shoot it, even in your own garden But, If I shoot a pigeon in my garden with that thing, my neighbor won't mind. A pigeon less that dont sh..t on our roofs anymore he thinks then. And that pigeon, it goes into the soup, without feathers and intestines of course😋. ps, please don't tell anyone 🤣

    The swivels are placed on the model. It is easier to drill these holes before applying the rigging. But without installing the rigging first I don't know where there will be room left for the swivels. Test swivel 1 Swivel guns in place Thanks for following.

    Do you need a special permit to hunt where you live? Here, in Belgium, there is a rule for everything. i need a license for hunting. I am not allowed to process the killed animal myself. and for the outdoor kitchen I must of course also apply for a building permit. Rules,rules,rules 😳 in this small country.

    There are "ammo" 2 chests (speculative own design) one for the fore castle and one for the rear castle. Painting the swivels. First a mat black base with a wash with thinned metal color. then the swivels are "colored" with pencil and polished with a soft paper tisseu. result

    Painting I'm going for a 3-color Italian camouflage. For the interior, some converted russian PPSh 41 which now should look like Baretta's model 38 Painting and drybrushing ready

    Thanks. Continue with the Protetto The rear is only sparsely detailed. Better Front under construction. A 16th century 1/45 English swivel opposite to an Italian 1/72 Autoprotetto.. 😇

    Fortunately for me, there are people who do like to go to school. Thank you Mr. Corey Malcom for your study and the drawing of a swivel gun 👍. Continue building the swivels. The wedge should be connected to the swivel with a chain or rope. I'm going to give it a try. If it doesn't work, then it is without A 16th century 1/45 English swivel opposite to an Italian 1/72 Autoprotetto... Thanks for comments,likes and following

    When I painted my Pelican/Golden Hind I found these possibilities. The number behind the examples indicates which way was most common. No painting (the word "niets" behind the examples) was actually the most common way. But, that's not much use to us model builders, not?? 😉

    The same comment as always 😉. Great work Ondras 👍

    It's been a while since I built a military model. So, here we go. This time it is an Italian Autoprotetto S37 General info https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/italy/Fiat_SPA_Autoprotetto_S-37.php Box and contents http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/411 Start There's a lot of flash to the parts. This model is from a short run production, the mold was probably in service for a while when my model was cast the parts for the superstructure after much cleaning, sanding and fitting Engine compartiment (same problem) The worst part is over 😉

    thank you. I didn't like going to school...😉

    Building swivel guns Some info is found on this thesis. But, A future Doctor in the pfilosofhy, at the school of music humanities media. Who writes a thesis about a sunken shipwreck A weird combination, that is way beyond my understanding 😥 but the info in his thesis is very interesting step1 drawings and start building barrels and chambers current status

    The last ropes from the main sail are attached on some drawings this line goes up to the bowsprit (arrow). So this became improvising (there was no more room left in this place) ... I think the rigging is done someone is happy 😉 The following months will be spent making swivel cannons, anchors and flags

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.
