    Norwegian or American. That doesn't matter to me. It is a very beautiful and detailed model. And the construction method is very clearly explained. Great work Geert

    Nice work on the model and the tools. A lost cat came to our house 2 years ago. We adopted him and he (Felix) is now our best friend

    I also count only 3 wales with the Bounty models 2 smaller and 1 wide My Bounty model was just a plastic model but quite a challenge In post 1 you will find a link of drawings from the original model

    I don't have any belaying pins on my Pelican / GH. In this period, belaying pins were not yet in use. The Mayflower is 40-50 later, she may have had these pins

    This is indeed a very neat planking 👍

    Continue with the hull. The modifications for a Mk.1 on the engine compartment with plastic strip Extra details and cabels at the rear. the Turret .. The author of the article explains the construction method very well. Unfortunately, it does not provide any dimensions or clear construction drawings. That is why we start with the bottom plate and some "frames" as supports for the sides and tops of the turret. To be continued, thanks for following.

    Do they still have a different color after sanding? Maybe the color problem will be solved after sanding.

    You will not see such costumised cars in Belgium very often. Too much paperwork and extra inspections before you can drive it on public roads. And then park somewhere with the windows open 😲 It will be empty when you return from shopping ... It is possible to order a personalized number plate for your car in Belgium (costs 1000 euros extra). Will be a nice model

    The nice thing about German camouflage between 1943-45 is that there is plenty of room for free interpretation. If you don't want to use a brown color, that's fine too. The only "general rule" for most German vehicles (Panthers also) is : Sand color as a basis. Green and or brown as additional colors. No green and no brown, but only sandcolor is also allowed. And when it snows and you have white paint and a brush. Then... a whitewash Have fun

    Looks much better Are you also going to add brown to the cammo?

    Greetings from Belgium. Here it is now 14h. 19 minutes in the afternoon (we dont do AM and PM over here). Good luck with the Bounty model.

    Finger healed 👍. And continue to build the Centurion. Additional details on the front and top. Now we will continue with the back and the top of the engine compartment. Thanks for folowing .

    Because the foremast is so far forward. I think this info is somewhere in my Pelican build.
  19. Baker
    Indeed. Great work Jonathan

    Nice tank. Fingers crossed. I hope you dont have covid.

    Thanks The numbering does indeed have a logic GB = Groot Britanie (Great Britain) A = Amerika (USA) F = Frankrijk (France) etc... The number under the letter is the number per country. The small number at the bottom right is the number in the total collection The name of the manufacturer is printed on the back So GB Great Britain 179 the 179th "Englishman" 1426 N° 1426 build All this is in an Excel file, otherwise I have no idea what I have already built.

    Finishing the models applying rust Glued on the base plate (afther this a wash with thinned black) ready and tagged The 2 vehicles are given an English number, so all vehicles of this chassis are together. The trailer has a French number, then I remember what the origin was Belgium 1941 on the training ground Belgium 2021 in the cabinet Ps Good advice from the manufacturer It has been a long time since I built such difficult models. If anyone ever buys a kit from Ace, don't start with these 2. Finished ! Thanks for the following, the likes and of course the comments on these builds .
  23. Baker
    Thanks everyone for the nice comments. And he is "potty trained" 🤣 haha

    Verry good planking Steven. If anyone comments on this. Just say. This way of planking is historically much more correct and it was very difficult to do
  25. Baker
    Another beautiful update, always a pleasure to look forward to. Great work

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.
