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

    A very nice model. Congrats

    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 😉

    Good to see that everything turned out alright Glued plastic pieces in the freezer to loosen the parts again. I'll keep this in mind for future emergencies ...😉

    Thanks for the nice comment. No no, no SotS for me. I find it a very interesting book. And mister McKay has thought and studied about this ship very thoroughly. Maybe in a few years one of these two will be the next project.

    After banging my head against the wall a lot (luckily the wall is not damaged 😇). And been busy with military model building and repainting part of the house I managed to get one sail ready. Normally each rope has to go around the yard 2 times, but on this small yard this is too much. One time around looks better. The wrong methode (bottom) and the better metode (top) And I am now the proud owner of this book. With this very useful info for me. So I'm not going to adjust the mizzen sail. Thanks for comments, following and likes

    Not much actually. It's been a long time since I've built a German WW1 tank I'm going to look in my book first.
  18. Baker
    The cannons are from British/Belgium origin
  19. Baker
    me too

    An excellent choice. I do have some info available about this model.
  21. Baker
    Thanks for the comments But if I look closely at the photos. My painting and weathering skills have become a bit "rusty" after a summer of rigging and sailmaking on my Pelican. Next model will be better 😇
  22. Baker
    I build this kit years ago. Good Luck, i follow with interest

    5 Weasels are slowly becoming active again First to do is making the wheels and tracks. On the original resin model this was quite primitive. The aim is to make an idler, sprocket and 4 bogies to determine the positions of the wheel assembly. Work in (slow) progress a primitive test bogie Thanks for following

    Time to finish this build Added some rust and some bare metal here and there. Glued the model on a base plate and gave a matt black wash. Tagged and stored with his T34 and SU brothers and sisters. Thanks everyone for following, comments and likes.

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.
