    Update, Progress , with a Staghound Mk.2 under construction. The first step is backwards. Everything that was not good has been removed. Building the hole in front of the vehicle. The radiator of the engine will be placed in this later. These 4 will all become c models. A standard, a ambulance, a 75 mm recoiles and a Wasp flametrower. Thanks for following

    Well Belgium is a difficult country politically. Believe it or not for the administration of 11 million residents we have 5 governments ... Explaining this whole political question is a very long story and a hopeless task. 😟 To make a long story short. Everyone wants to decide about everything, but no one wants to pay for it The cog Found in 2000 and disassembled. Then the question, what do we do with it, where do we place it, and especially who will pay for it Parts stored for 10 years in containers with water. In 2010 an investigation whether the parts were still suitable for restoration (luckily yes) Return to storage in containers with water. 2014 - 2017 money has finally been found to treat the parts. The planned reconstruction will start in 2023. However, a museum must first be built... I hope I live long enough to ever see this cog 😉 In Dutch http://schoolvoorscheepsmodelbouw.be/wp/specials/kogge-de-middeleeuwen-in-3d/

    Not far from where I live, a cog was once excavated during the expansion of the port of Antwerp. https://www.futurelearn.com/info/courses/shipwrecks/0/steps/7971 My hope is to one day make a model of this cog. So I follow with great interest.

    I once came across this 111 while on vacation in Norway. Shot down, stripped and left behind.

    I see something strange. On the chair on which the figure stands. There is a kind of "backrest" (backrest = google translate English..) on it. I think it is placed backwards (needs a 180 ° turn ) see picture

    A long time ago I bought a resin model of an M29 Weasel at an IPMS exhibition. The idea was to use this model as an example and to make a series of Weasels. The construction stopped for reasons I no longer remember. The unfinished models went in a box in the closet and the magazines that served as information were later also lost (sold). Recently, the Weasels unexpectedly reappeared while searching for parts for the Centurion. And after searching the internet I found enough info to restart this build. http://www.lzmodels.com/135-American-M29-weasel.html https://lzmodels.wbs.cz/35501/m29_instructions.pdf http://www.lzmodels.com/135-American-M29C-Weasel.html https://lzmodels.wbs.cz/35503/m29c_instructions.pdf This build will be slow, making a series of models is very time consuming. So, this build will only be continued if other models require the glue or paint to dry. But with time, patience and plastic this build will be finished. And now I have a good reason to finish this project, MSW members are watching 🧐 General info of the Weasel family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M29_Weasel Current state of the models and my new source of info. The scratch chassis were then made of plastic sheet. For the time being, there is even no idea how the tracks will be made. To be continued

    Leftovers from all those kits i have build. Neatly sorted of course . Finishing the Cenurion. Painting al the metal parts an the other colors. Most metal parts and some parts of hull and turret receive a wash with thinned brown "rust" Some dry brushing with sand Glued on the base plate with a wash of thinned black and tagged. Left the basic kit with some extra detail (build years ago) And this is not a Mk.8 as Airfix writes, but a Mk.5. And right the converted Mk.1 Thanks for following, comments and likes. I hope you all enjoyed this journey in converting a plastic tankmodel.

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.
