    Pretty much spot on but December 1918; this will be on the name plate. Also I’ve ordered a set of punch magazine from 1918 armistice to go with it and a French victory medal. There are heaps and heaps of photos of artillery parks post war where the barrels are written on in chalk by the claiming battalions. Here in Australia a there are artillery pieces in front of nearly all RSL’s.

    Nearly done, I want to add some more ice. Then it’s off to a mates place to get a base for it.
  3. RGL
    Rats
  4. RGL
    So today is wet mud day. I’m finished with the barbed wire
  5. RGL
    As long as it’s a day ending in Y
  6. RGL
    35 and humidity is rubbish! That’s why they invented beer!
  7. RGL
    So as part of the trophy hunter theme, lots of spares on the blade of the howitzer. I will run a rope from the rear of the winch at the back of the tractor running down to the little mortar
  8. RGL
    Getting there. More barbed wire required, I won’t use the bigger mortar dirty mud and sludge to go too .
  9. RGL
    Back to the Fowler tractor, paint job destroyed with mud
  10. RGL
    So to add to the dead space I’ve added some barbed wire and poles
  11. RGL
    Resin dropped into resin
  12. RGL
    Let it snow, let it snow (you’re singing it aren’t you)
  13. RGL
    Next is to fill the gutter with poured resin which will Katherine’s in and I can make it look like it’s quite the river
  14. RGL
    You made that look easy mate! Well done
  15. RGL
    Next is to seal it in; I’ve cutout a shell hole which will be filled with water and the little mortar half submerged. I’ve also added a wash along the side of the road which I can add running water to
  16. RGL
    So this is base plan
  17. RGL
    So this is the plan, to sculpt the road on the side of a hill, the lower end being a shell hole full of water with a little mortar in it with a rope attached to the steam winch; then a hill behind with a refugee family around a fire
  18. RGL
    There are a heap of tutorials online and using a wet palette
  19. RGL
    Thoughts?
  20. RGL
    But stylish!
  21. RGL
    Next
  22. RGL
    Then the two French soldiers from Copper State Models. One has a black leather jacket and on a brown leather jacket. Next is a clear coat to set it so I can do the belts and scarfs.
  23. RGL
    So nice finished the little Minenwefer, I’ll give it a clear coat then rust the hell out of it. My plan is to submerge it in a puddle.
  24. RGL
    So back to this! This is my plan, 2 French soldiers trophy hunting, taking a Morser and large mortar and finding a smaller in in a puddle ignoring a family on the side. I got a French victory medal to go on the base
  25. RGL
    So I got a bronze for my little French torpedo boat; a ship won best in show!

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.
