Final 3 figures. Lots of recasts out there, I’ve done as best as I can to buy from the makers, the chap holding the teddy bear (it’s supposed to be a sword, I removed the hands and replaced them ) first cast was nowhere near as good as the second one I’ve ordered. This stuff is not like Copper state models figures, it’s obscure and you don’t know what you’ll get, the bloke in the MOPP suit is fantastic, the sniper no so much. My plan is to have these down this weekend , then I can start to complete the dio

Thanks Pat. I thought that the survivors would need other modes of transport, so I throw a little motorcycle together

Not at all gents, it makes perfect sense and that’s why I asked! I’ve decided to go with such sage advice and add some more thick get to ‘pads out’ the bow wave . Thanks boys. The white stuff you see in the foreground will dry clear and I’ve thrown some leave in it for effect.

So continuing with the wave experiments, the waves are quite easy to make but I’m kinda working in a vacuum, I tried adding some cotton bud but I don’t like it;

Because I want it to look dynamic I wanted to make a splashing bow wave on the port side as the ship rolls in, so using a UV torch and resin moulded over a silicone rolled up mat, it appears to come up ok. Now it’s not stuck in yet and it’s a proof of concept, I think it may work

So this is the overall concept, one or two little girls being rescued by a group of blokes in gas masks

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.
