Next build, 2 models from ACE. The Kfz. 2 radio car http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/448 The Kfz.4 anti aircraft http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/576 General information http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepage_english/Motor_Vehicles/Germany/Einheits-Fahrgestelle/le__Einheits-Pkw/le__einheits-pkw.html Ace makes short run models. So with molds that are worn out after a certain production number. Seeing is buying. Once out of production, the models are almost no longer available. Box, plan and parts. There is already a first problem at the start of building the chassis. The pins and holes do not fit. Pins removed and the parts fit now. Chassis parts glued and clamped.

Continue with the construction of the mastops. This is more thinking time than construction time. The intention is to make something with these as examples. (Start at the top left clockwise Mataro model, Vasa, Mary Rose, Vasa) An uninvited guest at the shipyard ... Adding the main "supports" as on the Mary Rose. Making the "upper ring" from several planks Glue the ring to the supports. Still a lot to do Main mast top under construction, fore mast is following. Thanks for following.

Today a major event. The very last update An empty space ?? Sold the Vasa model due to lack of space in the hobby room (And once a ship model is finished, I lose my interest in it) This model was a very educational experience. Had a lot of fun , and even made money on it. Maybe one day I'll build a second Vasa in scratch. Thanks for following this

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.
