    Next, part 2 of the build

    I thought I’d add a little bit of extra detail it took about 3 days, I wanted to perhaps do a seaplane that would act as a recovery or guard plane like they have helicopters, but the only one I really liked is about $100USD for a 1/350 plane that is not with it, so a fast patrol boat it is. Came out quite nicely, bashing the guns. Then it gets parked

    The Vierling c38’s are probably as complicated as anything I’ve done.

    Fitting her out. Spotlights, signal lamps, most of the AA guns ( I’m awaiting the final 6, as the KA kit ones aren’t very nice), fully rigged crane, range finders included as well

    Wow! That’s a lot of work in a short time. Well done?
  6. RGL
    That sounds foreboding.....
  7. RGL
    Cool
  8. RGL
    That looks great. Add some strips for rivet lines.

    That study is porn for married blokes

    Whoa! Back up the train! What’s the kit? Are you using aftermarket or Scratch? Tell us a story!! These big BB’s are a massive bit of plastic (the bride would kill me if I went this big, I’ve got too much 1/350 in extra PE).

    Only 16,000ks to Berlin from here

    A major part of the build is now done. There are 4 radio masts on the side which I can’t do until the planes are put on the flight deck. Armament and fittings now, then the aircraft. , 254B085D-3640-46BF-9249-63B44932D05F.MOV

    Kevin, there are several variants of denier rigging, Infini, Uschi etc. you just need to get different diameters, some are so thin you can hardly see them. I pretty much use CA glue for everything, using different quick or medium depending on the task.
  14. RGL
    And there lies madness Yves with that level of detail......
  15. RGL
    Deck railings done on the starboard side, as well as nets, ammo boxes on the deck plus some additional life rafts on the railings from North Star. Ship’s boats slung. Tomorrow I’ll do the port side.
  16. RGL
    Well done mate, what’s next?
  17. RGL
    Thanks. the rigging is quite simple on this one.
  18. RGL
    If I could find them....
  19. RGL
    Very small ones mate! Me’s and Ju’s.
  20. RGL
    Masts attached, then stuck on the hull.
  21. RGL
    I’m in
  22. RGL
    Thanks for the likes and comments folks. Back to the funnel and bridge a) throw it together b) paint it c) start to weather and rust so tomorrow I can start rusting and weathering the three masts, then rig it. Progress is OK so far
  23. RGL
    Deck wind barriers. As dirty as the deck is, I added some different coloured brown planks at the arrestor cables, to represent what would be replaced at the arrester hooks. There will be a lot of planes on the deck. So busy the errors will be hidden I hope.
  24. RGL
    Trails? Nets? They’re on the way
  25. RGL
    Back to the flight deck. Soot, rubber steaks, stains at the end of each plank. I’m going to have to use a very fine set of lines for tail hook strikes.

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.
