    Yes, But, I have to drill holes of 1mm and I don't have the right tools to drill holes of this diameter to enough depth Therefore I will have to drill them one by one by hand. If a few fail, bad luck for Backer (there is plenty of wood availeble to make more)

    Indeed, let opponent come preferably along port and starboard, because maneuvering is not yet possible Thanks Making the triangular deadeyes (Much work, little progress) To the person who once invented the triangular deadeyes , rounds are much easier to make (I think this advice comes centuries late...) Make these to scale, with the grain of the wood in the longitudinal direction is not easy Much time has passed to find a way how to build them. Examples are the Vasa and Mary Rose. The triangular deadeyes from this era look quite thin. And determine the size. A surplus of my Heller Soleyl Royal has about the right thickness height and length. The deadeyes (plastic) of Billing's Vasa are clearly too thick. Building a wooden prototype and a mold First saw wooden beams Sand the wood to size so that it just goes through the mold. File grooves cutting this is fairly easy because it is in the same direction as the grain. Sanding to thickness. 8 done 40 more to go. Then drill the holes. That will also be a challenge. Thanks for following, comments and likes

    Just viewed your entire build log from the beginning. Beautiful model.

    Nice model. The nickname with us is "geit" (goat). Have no idea why Can someone from Belgium also come along. Just ordered eggs from my chickens. .And I told them it is urgent 😂

    Another beautiful model in the collection. Congrats 👍

    Good luck with the Victory. Building your first wooden ship is the most difficult. All of the following ships are "a piece of cake" .

    Completely correct. A mammoth.

    Congrats, nice Tiger. Your tank probably belongs to the leader of the first company, (but the numbering is unusual) German tank numbering http://bunker3030.blogspot.com/2011/06/beginners-guide-to-german-3-digit.html

    I do not know the answer. But maybe this will help you Vasa, early 17th century http://www.wasadream.com/Index/indexenglish.html

    How I did mine Clear plastic sheet. Make grooves with a thick needle ()vertical, horizontal or diagonal. The grooves can be filled with thinned black paint. And / or filled with plastic sprue. result If it fails the first time you try this (with me too) practice, practice, practice Good idea, always more fun.

    Never seen this system. If a photo shows up, it can be photoshopped This is possible. Then you build a Tiger from sPzAbt 503. Also available in panzer gray. If you don't want to, don't apply a white wash. There is evidence of a N ° 123. And, If there is an N ° 123, then there is also a N ° 121. The container at the back of the turret is a "rommelkiste". Only for personal items. But, You are building a very early model with 2 pistolports in the turret. The sPzAbt 503 Tigers have a hatch on the right, no pistol port. My idea, It is possible that the 4 Tigers on the Leningrad front did not have a container on the turret (and the 2 pistolports) This is the simplest solution to build, no container. And no one can say that you did something wrong (i hope ) Ps, This is your model, of course you build the model of your choice. But I'm glad to study Tigers again. It has been years since I built one. myself.

    Btw, Error N°2 ?? I gotta figure this out. Very unusual for a German Tank.
  20. Baker
    I'm glad that my 35 years of study finally come in handy My generation grew up at a time when we had to learn Dutch and French at school. Then we did our military service in Germany. And when we go on holiday we usually have to be able to speak English. Always handy for reading books 👍 My German corner WW2 Only the German designs. So no Czech, French, English, Russian, etc ... models that have been converted by Germany. That is another part of the collection

    Mark, After 35 years of studying German WW2 vehicles. The yellow sand color only officially entered service in the spring of 1943 (HM 1943 N ° 181 of February 18, 1943) After reviewing post 1 in this log. The first manufacturer error appears "Leningrad 1943" This model is one of the 4 first Tiger 1 that ever entered service in panzergrey . This was on the Leningrad front August 29, 1942. On their first action they get all 4 engine problems, 3 can be salvaged 1 not. The 3 remaining Tigers , remain in service until winter 42/43. Then they get a white wash camauflage. I don't know if they are still in the vicinity of Leningrad in the summer of 43. They will probably will be further south to be involved in the much more important Citadel offensive. So You build one of the few Tigers who left the factory in panzer gray. Please don't make it sand yellow.
  22. Baker
    Nice work. the yellow sand color was only used from 1943 on. before that everything had the base color panzer gray.
  23. Baker
    Nice work I get a to do list every weekend from the admiral. do this, do that. do this, do that. 😇

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.
