    I think I can do some more when I do the waterline but I’ll need to add some rust then so it will dull it down. The alge would (I believe ) be nearer the waterline ...
  16. RGL
    Kinda end point where I’d like to be
  17. RGL
    Barnacles and the beginning of seaweed done. I need to leave a gap for masking and blending of the waterline with salt, rust and more seaweed after the upper hull is done.

    Second coat, I think it’s thick enough for scale. It does not mix well with paint so let’s see where we go with the airbrush.....

    Yes, I just got home from work so I’ll have a play with it on a spare hull tomorrow to see what I can achieve. It needs to go Pretty much up to the waterline as witnesses said just before the Final battle they could see see seaweed up alongside the ship. She was laid up for Weeks on end inMadagascar and other African ports awaiting instructions and a second flotilla so the biofouling would have gotten pretty bad. They were very slow (12kts) anyway so the build up must have been bad.

    Sponge and Mr Surfacer 1000. Coat 1. I’ll do several coats before colouring it.

    Grunging part 1
  24. RGL
    Part 1 of the lower hull, bringing out the panels and fading the paint

    this is from a Russian language book, but the final trip of the Borodino was from way up north to way down south all around the bottom on South Africa, that the 18,000 miles with 800 guys on this steel oven.
  26. RGL
    Lots of opportunities to improve on it. The fleet Stopped all around the African coast to get coal, and then throughout Asia. The wear and tear on suck a long trip would have been amazing.

    It’s a long way off that look. There is so much detail to pre plan yet. I was going to scratch build a couple of winches but you can’t see them. I can’t work from home so this is going to drag out a bit but my Zara upgrade has just arrived in Oz! I did not realise they stopped all shipping for 3 weeks
  28. RGL
    And happy to answer questions

    Matty, I build them in sections. Find a build online and copy it, that way you’ll pick up the pattern. Don’t be tempted by lots of PE yet and eventually an airbrush is a must.
  32. RGL
    Another primer coat and no gaps. Can start adding some more things now and do the lower hull.
  33. RGL
    I’m really hoping this is the worst part of this build, trying to align the un alignable. lots of filler and sanding to go.

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.
