    That’s the frame done, I’ll need to paint it next. Engine and drive train to be done up and painted next before inserting onto the model.
  2. RGL
    I drilled them out, so I will eventually put clear resin in them painted clear red and orange
  3. RGL
    Added the rear light bar and braces, the number plate and racing number will go over this
  4. RGL
    Done including wing nuts. Airfix completely ignores the rear brace bf for the lights and bracing for the fuel tank, that’s next
  5. RGL
    So back to the Bentley and a day on the fuel tank. All the reference photos vary for the tank and it’s protective cage and braces, so I’m going to go off an original car and not models. The wire case is fly screen

    I’ve also got all of them, some are now available as E books. I always used Abe.com for the second hand ones. New titles with 3d renders are also out now and are very good and in colour.

    I’ve just come back from Vietnam (well will be home in the next few hours) so it will be back on the desk this week.

    Fabulous
  9. RGL
    Looks good

    You know I considered that! I’m yet to find one, mind. I have a double decker bus which I might put in a scene with it as the heights are more agreeable. The scale of it is correct so it needs to be balanced.

    Not that hard! It would look amazing as. Nine has ever done it !!! I have Lord Clive planned after I finish the Bentley
  12. RGL
    Welcome ! Look forward to seeing you do this in poured resin !
  13. RGL
    I don’t think it works, I think it’s too big and distracts
  14. RGL
    Can’t help myself, I saw a Morris Advertising Column from Reality in scale and thought it might suit. I’ll paint it up and add posters then see if it fits. Base black coast then some different green pigments to represent the green cast iron they are made of
  15. RGL
    Lieutenant Lester agrees
  16. RGL
    Now it’s a Bollocking!!!
  17. RGL
    Last bits arrived for the Bentley today. In the meantime…..
  18. RGL
    Aaaaand another distraction whilst awaiting the mail
  19. RGL
    I’m currently waiting for stuff in the mail for this build, so I decided to reduce the stash with a weekend build
  20. RGL
    More seams Than a coal mine! Back to basic modelling skills agin, gaps, seams, flash, super poor details. This is going to be a rabbit hole as there are so many good builds of this out there I just can’t do it OOB

    I bought this at a buy swap sell for AUD $100 a few years ago. I’ve been waiting on someone to make some 3D parts that don’t cost more than the kit. A local bloke at Leadfoot models does some lovely car stuff and recently did the wheels, brake drums and the footstep. There is a European mob that does a 3D fuel tank but out exchange rate makes it far more than I paid for the kit. It’s a beautiful car, I won’t show off the engine, others have done that to perfection and I’ll never get that good, so I’ll enjoy it for what I can.
  22. RGL
    This looks amazeballs!
  23. RGL
    Yep, all the research I’ve done (I bought the book) shows this is the most basic of all the carriages. The recoil would be amazing.
  24. RGL
    That should do it
  25. RGL
    Base coat down.

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.
