    ja wadde (Flemish) easily translated as WOW Small update (as always from October on, most of my hobby time will go to military modeling) All sails are tied to the yards. Bought a book as preparation for a next project. To discover this I think I will (have to) do this step all over again 😟 dont now yet 🤔

    RLM02 is very greenish, so i dont think so. More something ivory white (elfenbein RAL1001) in the crew compartiment Red oxide (primer) in the engine compartment Hatches can be in the same color as the outside but not always these are my ideas But, It may also depend on the paint that was available. Crew interior definitely a light color for better visibility inside Whermacht colors : https://www.militaerlacke.de/fahrzeuglacke/2k-eimergebinde/wehrmacht/?p=1

    Difficult question All my military models are on a base plate, so I pay little attention to the underside Photos of the underside of a panzer IV (and most other tanks) are quite rare. The only hope is to find a picture of a damaged tank (upside down). Nothing found yet https://www.google.com/search?q=panzer+IV+wrecked&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi-gL74oKbzAhVUrHIEHZAsBaMQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=panzer+IV+wrecked&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQDDoHCCMQ7wMQJzoECAAQE1D-uQNYl8gDYIjbA2gAcAB4AIABoQGIAcAIkgEDMC43mAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=SHJVYb68EdTYytMPkNmUmAo&bih=498&biw=1291&rlz=1C1GCEU_nlBE936BE936 A Panzer IV walkaround (again no underside) https://www.scalenews.de/sd-kfz-161-pzkpfw-iv-ausf-g-panzer-iv-walkaround-881/ http://walkarounds.scalemodels.ru/v/walkarounds/afv/before_1950/pz_iv_crocus/?g2_page=1 Ps Here are some images of the bottom plate to see (you tube video) https://ww2live.com/en/content/world-war-2-unique-german-panzer-iv-came-back-life-unearthed-restored-and-displayed-just-5

    Nice model, congrats.

    I also follow along. If there are any questions about the IV. Just ask 😉

    Thanks for comments and likes 👍. Of course anyone is free to use this method. But as already mentioned correct or not? Who knows.

    Nice work Coincidence? Before she was baptized Golden Hind she named Pelican 😉

    Thanks. I get English lessons for free on this forum 😉👍 Thanks. Bringing this machine back to working condition gave me great satisfaction All sails are stitched and sewn. Now the bonnets are tied. I probably misunderstood the drawings and all this knotwork is not historically correct. But it looks neat (to me). And there's a logic to it The bonnet is very quick and easy to remove. Just loosen the rope on the left side and pull . All the rope come loose and the bonnet falls off the sail. Drawing/result method : Make holes "sewing" Sewing an "eye" to both the sides of the sail. tie up (both sides) front and back All sailes (except the spritsail) Made cleats (D18 / 2) Cleats glued on the yards. Thanks for following, likes and comments

    See you and the 170V back soon. Ps Here's Belgian beer, wine and cheese. vermont not, I have to go to the shop first

    Indeed, My dots are for scale 1/45. The hardness and sharpness of the pencilpoint are indeed very important. (I used up a lot of pencils...)

    Nice work Steven. Somewhere in Norway while on vacation (I don't know where exactly). 2 dark colored replicas (vikings). The nails are only slightly visible on the outside and on the inside. Another one Have you ever thought of making a small dot with a pencil?
  21. Baker
    Welcome back 👍 Great work, so much better than the kit model .

    Thanks Christian, Antwerp is indeed a nice city. Actually there are 2 model shops in Antwerp. I have the luxury of having both of them "close by". Problems are the traffic jams around Antwerp. If you want to go to the other bank of the Scheldt, a few hours delay is no exception In the meantime, stitching and sewing continues. With a new mizzen sail (messed up the first one)

    This could be the battery (I cut mine in half especially for this picture 😉)

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.
