    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.

    This is plastic modeling at the highest level

    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.

    30000 men gun and cavalry on 1/72 scale... I'm jealous 😉

    Free advise, If you want to let the tracks sag on the wheels, there is a simple trick. Tie down on the wheels with black rope. Simple and clean, and if you really don't like the result, just cut ithe rope loose again. The 6 yellow arrows are knots, the red is position of the rope. Works also on your Panther

    This has to do with the size of the photo. delete the photo, reduce (MB) it and upload it again

    Metal with some rust.

    Great work as always Sometimes there were no drains. And (sorry 😟) Nice pumps. But, there are normally no grooves in the pump housing. It is normally made from a massive tree trunk.

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.
