Followed by a paint coat. I was using Acrylic Colors, a mix of Primary Blue, a little Titanium White and some drops of Mars Black

Next is to cover the styrofoam with paper towels (I am using the blue shop towels because the kitchen towels have a often a structure with flowers and so on). I “glue” the paper towels with Liquitex Gloss Gel to the foam.

Since I have to wait for my parts, I was working on my seascape. Starting with Styrofoam and a torch. I have to give credits to Chris Flodberg for this method of making seascapes.

Greg, From where did you get the portholes (sidescuttles)? Are they from the Infini “Watertight Doors Set” by any chance? Thanks, Hermann

I am not surprised that he has his hands full. Looks like it is excellent stuff. I can’t wait to order something for my Cossack (Tribal). Thanks, Hermann

Greg, Cool stuff. Do you know by any chance when that will be available? Thanks, Hermann

Glenn, just in case you don’t know the video from Tom Lauria

Hello Piotrek, I noticed that you have an LED light on your Proxxon mill. Can you tell me where you get it? Is it with batterie? Thanks! BTW, excellent build! 👍👍👍 -
Hi Alan, welcome back to the ship modeling world! Here are excellent building blogs with good solutions & ideas. I’am fascinated with offshore suppliers & AHT’s and will hopefully build one soon. I even had a chance to visit some in Newfoundland. All the best and good luck with your build. Hermann

You could try to spray the plastic with "Future" (Pledge Floor care) this will enhance the look.This is an old trick from plastic modelers to create a "glas" look for clear plastic. To glue it in place you can use Micro Kristal Clear (from Microscale Ind.). It is a flexible clear liquid plastic adhesive. I used it also for removing light scratches.

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.
