    This is the resin bucket!
  20. RGL
    So precut Perspex pieces which I will glue into a long bucket. Then lots of poured resin

    Deck rusted up with pigments, dryfit of the superstructures; lots of equipment to go on deck yet as it will diffuse the starkness of it IMG_0484.mov
  23. RGL
    Starting the upper hull weathering
  24. RGL
    So the masking in the deck lifted even more paint (I like it), the base coat done on the upper hull, a dryfit for the sake of art. If you can’t view it I’m Bacon Bits Models on Facebook IMG_0443.mov
  25. RGL
    So that’ll do for the lower hull as it will be under water (clear resin)
  26. RGL
    I’m going to suggest you buy an aftermarket deck, you will be a lot happier with the result. It’s also good practice for your next build as they need to be glued down

  28. RGL
    As things going to be ‘floating’ in resin, I want to make the hull filthy and lots of alge, some Mr surfacer and cotton wool. At 1/35 it actually seems to work!!!!
  29. RGL
    I was going to do a diorama then figured I’d need a lot of figures and the back hatches are not open which they would be for operation. So this should do
  30. RGL
    So green base graduation of 4 shades of green then chipping then let the masking begin.

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.
