    Nice work. Planking,garboard.. Look at my Pelican build, i think from post 38 and further on.

    Indeed. The Vickers idea can be considered a distant ancestor of the M2, M3 and later M5 family Mirage has a whole family http://www.mirage-hobby.com.pl/MirageHobby-AFV-72 https://henk.fox3000.com/Mirage.htm

    These Vickers (and derivative) models were in service in many different countries with many variations and modifications.

    Tie the sails to the yards, attempt 3.. I didn't like attempt 2. So did everything again for the 3rd and "last" time. Different rope and fewer attachments to the yard. Main and fore sail 2 times round yard as the rest 1 time. The result is a simplified version of the example in the Mary Rose book. working method : Knot on the sail Rope around the yard Knot on the yard (I worked with a series of 5) CA gel ont the (yard) knot. And the rope ends are held down cut off Result, By pushing the rope ends down until the CA gel has cured, hang these neatly towards the deck Some work in progress pictures All ready Thanks for folowing,comments and likes.

    So it is true that people who are retired have little free time for themselves 😉 Very nice work on the model and the warehouse.

    At home 🙂 Info found in "German railroad guns" (squadron/signal NO.15) The base color would be Reichsbahn Grey. But is this much different from the panzer grey? Dont now.

    5mm on this scale is wide. But there are no strict rules For deck planking in this era.

    What is "too big" What are the dimensions of the planks?
  17. Baker
    Nice start. Are there something such as filler blocks on the bow? This will make planking here easier.

    Bogie time 😉 I have to make 40 of them 😱 The wheel press tool Dry test fit on the orignal resin model The 4 weasels with the extra float tanks will have side skirts. The running gear will therefore be little visible later on. So I do these 4 first to practice. 1 side done (will probably need some extra details) A cannon, almost finished Thanks for following

    This drawing comes from this book When it came out this must have been a fantastic book. I have this book too. But with the current information available, this book is no longer recommended ( in my opinion) Cannons on the main deck are possible. But only light calibers on this relatively small ship

    5 years ago I also had so many questions. In the first post you will find an index to the various building steps Enjoy reading 😉

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.
