Building the howitzer compartment. Extra detail on the 4 seats New ammo (cleaning the ammo from the kit was more work) and some other extra's Drilling out the barrel I always do this with a knife like this. Just turn the blade until the correct diameter is reached. Ideal method in plastic But, watch out for the fingers... ready for painting Parts painted, adding the howitzer is for later glued together (and a wash with diluted black) Next, wheels an tracks. Again lots of cleaning to do... Thanks for following

I did not find any volunteers 🤣 I can always add a few news papers. Long ago, on the farm of my grandparents, there was a box of old newspapers on the seat of ease. And they were not only for reading ... 😳

The LEDs are actually Christmas lights (very cheap and easy to use) The wire is concealed against the ceiling on the decks. And ends in the removable helmsman's house on an adapted "lusterklem" (in English ??)

Hello, i slowly restarted the Pelican build. So a small update. Made a removable plug for the battery of the LED lights. Not hi tech, but it does what it should do: turn on the LEDs. Some things that may not be completely correct have been adjusted. The stern gallery was also normally used as a combat station. So no sanitary facilities here. The holes are closed. The two holes in the beakhead have been modified, there are now two seats of ease. The black tubing turned out to be a bad idea and was not used. Thanks for following

Well, I'm a little very old fashioned. I don't have an airbrush. Simply the old methods. painting, dry brushing and a washing with thinned paint. On plastic Have a look at the military models (links in signature) On wood Paint with thinned paint, Let dry, polish with scotch brite (post 129)

Building the superstructure of both vehicles. The ammo carrier (left) All parts fit 👍 Grrr Some cutting and sanding, and hairpins and glue The gun carrier : little space availeble for many things to place Some extra parts for detail ( from Russian kv turret...) The instructions say to place the cannon first. But I don't know if the parts of the superstructure will fit so i make the superstructure first and dry fit this on the chassis (Surprise, it fits from the first time ) And then the cannon doesn't go in anymore I will place the cannon first and then the superstructure. It's been a long time since I've built such a difficult kit like this one. But we'll get there. Instruction riddles : Make part C and see where you put it an they sometimes forget to number part 5 Thanks for following

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.
