    So to finish off this build, today I was given a gold for ships masters for my Emden at Australia’s biggest show
  3. RGL
    Done !
  4. RGL
    Some chipping (dryfit)
  5. RGL
    Getting my paint on, red primer, then a chipping coat and bulldozer yellow

    I got this kit for $50 off FB marketplace thinking it would be a punishing slog of resin. I was so wrong, it’s 3 d Printed and pretty much falls together. The only thing missing is fuel and hydraulic lines which I need to add. I’m waiting on mail from various parts of the earth so I can finish my diorama with the FT-17 and do some serious figure painting. This is supposedly a 1973 military type but I will paint her Cat yellow

    So to finish this, I got the storage set from Blast models in France

    so now you have all gone down the rabbit hole, I went looking for trams. EBay is selling the $20 Temu base for a bargain price and the miniart tram does look good

    I actually did sone research and based it off this photo which is why I added the plastic stippling the centre

    Thanks mate, I just ordered 3 more figures from Blast Models. There were just so many troops involved in ww1, I think the busier there better . My plan is to now paint the French artillery pice and practice on some figures from AliExpress (gaming figures). Our major shows in in two weeks, I’m presenting on the Emden so this piece will be next year

    I’ve been procrastinating doing up all the extras, so today I added the tram tracks and dryfit the set up for the diorama. I can’t put off doing the figures any longer

    So I did some research on 1900’s light poles and the closest image I could find was nothing like the the miniart one. Enter Liang models 3d printed lamps. Wow, just wow.

    So starting on the diorama base. I got this from Temu. Very soft foam, I pushed down all the cement work and filled it with AK Concrete. I’ll leave this set overnight now then a clear coat and mixed pigments. I’m happy with the way the road looks

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.
