    Nice stories about hot barrels. My only experience with a "hot" barrel Fired 40 rounds 8 x 57 in a short time with my K98. The barrel became hot, so that through the warm air above the barrel my target (paper card) seemed to "float" Warm oil dripped out of the wood And my shoulder was stiff the next day...🤕

    As promised Drilling out a gun barrel Twist with the x acto knife Drilling done Matt black paint Pencil Ps, This is my first post on MSW done on my smartphone and no google translate. A mile stone for me
  3. Baker
    Yep, Forgetting to tell. I always add about 25% matte black at their gunmetal
  4. Baker
    I normally use gun metal. With here and there some pencil to get more detail. Matte black and then going over with pencil is also pretty good. Best is to practice first on some leftovers. There is an easy method to drill out the barrel. With a sharply pointed x acto knife. But pictures will tell more than my google english (is for later) Look in my signature at the ADGZ funkwagen.

    The colors that Keith S uses are beautiful. I once experimented with silver paint on the inside. Don't do this, not a good solution.

    Nice winter camo. Question : Will the .50 on the turret remain in the brown color?
  8. Baker
    Just an idea. I made crates. Filled them up. And placed them near each cannon. To give the impression that they were brought on deck just beforea they were needed .

    I have an Einhell And am quite satisfied, saw all the wood for my Pelicane with it. The rough work and the accurate work.

    Thaks for the nice comments. Making this figurehead was so much fun that I finished it first. First an idea of what i should become Wings in pencil Wings carved feathers carved and start loosening the piece of wood Need plastic surgery (CA glue) carving ready a base coat of white painting in progress painting ready and dry fitted used tools and paint the figurehead is not yet glued on. There is still too much chance to damage it during the further build Thanks for folowing, likes and comments

    Indeed, the planking looks great. Nice work Tigersteve

    Great work. Awesome build to follow 👍

    This model was mainly used for close infantry support. A steel helmet is then not an unnecessary luxury if you want to look outside.. And 2 sets of spruces : lucky you, extra spare parts for free 👍

    Hurray, a tank. I follow I built some sherman's myself on scale 1/72 (I am using an excel file. Otherwise I don't know what I built )

    A figurehead. Backer's very first attempt at wood carving. In the 16th century, I don't think anyone in England knew what a pelican looked like. The sculptor took as an example a duck with a strange beak ... And probably this ship didn't even have a figurehead. The first part of this build happened outside (nice spring weather). And the weird way of clamping has a reason. Good at eye level and I don't have to bend over. Uses tools : A piece of cherrywood, jigsaw, Stanley knife, sandpaper and files. The "pelican duck" gets some shape. Hopefully it will look like a real Pelican someday Thanks for following and likes

    Belaying pins and staghorns. First, this post is more to say that I was probably doing wrong things. The parts mounted in the previous post have been partially removed. Belaying pins. Presumably these came into use slowly in the early 17th century. But, maybe a few will be placed into the beakhead. Staghorns Hopefully these came into use earlier because I'm going to apply them. If I can't use belaying pins. To what do I tie my ropes? All I can think is a methode like this. Wooden rails (n° 103) and staghorns (n°72 and 75) The sheets of the lower sails (n°46 and 48) will go to the staghorns Adding the rails in progress and a staghorn almost ready (And I forgot a little bit of paint on the left) Thanks for following

    When it works . . . but you hold on until it works 👍

    Great work. When I look at the bingo numbers, you can write beautifully

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.
