    Excellent

    For the first time I actually have a stash! Im hoping they release a USS Langley but I have two little kits I bought off e-bay to do in shore leave. Labs for me

    It seems fast but it’s not, it’s mainly production line work that appears to come together quickly at the end.

    Very nicely done Carl. The paintwork is wonderful
  5. RGL
    That would be a great model! I’m not going to transfer over to paper though... I was wondering how they would retrieve fliers if the landed in the sea (thus the Schnellboots) as you would not last long in the water up that end of the globe,

    Would’ve looked cool on the crane
  7. RGL
    Ouch alright. Somewhat insane. Would’ve been nice.
  8. RGL
    As discussed, the only option available for the correct seaplane

    Jan, there will be PE, but back to the paintbrush for the windows methinks. Bombs, torpedos, external fuel tanks, aerials and weathering.

    People do more and more sea scapes now, and I think that even if perfected it, (the water that is) I would have to spend thousands on staffing the ship yet alone the space it would take. I’ve spent most of today doing up the air wings. The plans say to file off the cockpit and replace with PE, and it would require buying extra PE, and I’m not convinced I particularly like the look. As you you can see, the flight deck is going to be busy

    No

    The Plastic evil is spreading! Junkers JU87c, folding wings and torpedos and the madness starts
  13. RGL
    The kit wouldn’t convert, it would be too beamy. Yamato is a lot more flat bottomed
  14. RGL
    Probably only the Stukas and 109’s as apparently the other aircraft were out of production by the early 1940’s. The Kubelwagon? Of course! It’s there! The little motorcycle too.
  15. RGL
    The set has optional extra’s
  16. RGL
    Next, part 2 of the build
  17. RGL
    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
  18. RGL
    The Vierling c38’s are probably as complicated as anything I’ve done.
  19. RGL
    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
  20. RGL
    Wow! That’s a lot of work in a short time. Well done?
  21. RGL
    That sounds foreboding.....
  22. RGL
    Cool
  23. RGL
    That looks great. Add some strips for rivet lines.
  24. RGL
    That study is porn for married blokes
  25. RGL
    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).

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.
