    Tracks. As mentioned before i never made them myself. So, unknown territory for me. I also found the origin of the resin model (giesbers) https://henk.fox3000.com/giesbers.htm Base for the tracks is plastic sheet. With carved lines on both sides This is glued around the wheels extra detail on the visible part of the track. The holes for the sprocket teeth need still some extra work. But the tracks are already much better than the original T34 tracks. Next to do. The M29C's will have "side skirts" . So the suspension will remain little visible. thanks for following.

    I only have information about the 1940 / 41 North Africa period and Iraq 1921 ps, nice work

    A bit late. But I'm here too 😉

    Possible idea : That only lighter cannons were placed here. Which in case of boarding were fired at the attackers. Loaded with all sorts of "anti-personnel projectiles...
  5. Baker
    haha I think the same, but no result yet 😂

    Two nice models 👍 I think I've built a few Roden Kits (a long time ago) And I've got a few more on the shelf (Opel buses).

    Nice work 👍

    Indeed, i had the idea to add some black here. let's suppose that the missiles are first turned 90° before being fired. 😉

    Tank you for the nice comments.
  11. Baker
    Indeed, But a little slow. In 1982, my first job was at General Motors, assembling Opel cars. Production was faster (but then there were more people on the Opel assembly line than now at my Weasel assembly line 😉). There were once 2 Opel factories, one is now a cinema and the other has been completely demolished. 👎 Well, the Weasels have wheels. One also has the sprocket and idler wheels. Now i make the tracks. Never made them myself. So it will be trail and error until it works out... i need 10 tracks

    And a finished model. Some rust and drybrushing with sandcolor Washed with matt black N° 1435, tagged and ready Build "out of the box" no modifications Some Russian AA, ZSU 23 4W1 (Jadar epoxy resin) 2S6M Tunguska (Military Wheels Plastic) SA6 Trumpeter Thanks for folowing this build

    I also used colorless shoe polish to treat the cotton. Then it is less frayed and the texture is less rough I don't think you will find this brand of shoe polish in Australia. But there is beeswax and carnaubawax in it.

    No problem 👍 always welcome My Pelican spritsail is also furled. And also more shortened at the bottom something like this(see the red line on your sail)
  15. Baker
    Chinese cheating... Molded on cable and handles on the model, separate parts on the box photo (I think the picture on the box is of the 1/35th model) Base color ready en missiles painted A light grey dry brushing and other colors painted. Various missile combinations can be found on the web, that's why there is 1 light green and 2 dark green With extra decals from the decal partsbox (a Czech model in a green color) Almost ready

    Very nice work Christian. Indeed, building scratch models takes a lot of time.
  17. Baker
    Yes, you can do this. Someone who builds such beautiful scratch models (including the crew) is going to stitch a beautiful sail Indeed, The restored 66 year old Singer from my mother (post 599) 20210726_191014.mp4

    A drawing 😉 My hems are too wide, narrower is better, but my sewing skills were insufficient. The diluted PVA glue over the hems prevents fraying after cutting at the seams
  19. Baker
    short update. wheel assembly, about half way
  20. Baker
  21. Baker
    Always welcome Further construction In some parts the connection between the sprue and part is much too thick (my opinion) This simplifies the injection molding to the parts during production. But there's more cleanup to do for the modeller ready for painting base color wheel-track part ready for assembly Thanks for following

    A nice whippet, great work 👍
  23. Baker
    If the google translater is correct, then i yhink you mean these (arrow) My poor knowlidge of english 😉 you need : a needle, rope, patience and time.
  24. Baker

  25. Baker

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.
