    Now those of you that have served, how long would it take to get this grunged up? I’m going to build her for 1942 and her first tour to the South Pacific before the first refit.

    Getting my head around how to progress and filling a few holes, there is a lot of PE for a small kit.
  3. RGL
    Holes are about .3mm, but if you weather it it really shouldn’t matter.

    Black fly screen

    No idea, I imagine they come as a job lot. You’d have to contact Pontos or Infini directly. They are the only companies I have seen use /produce them.

    OYes, the shells were usually explosive. The photo where the ship is upside down is when it was recovered from the sea floor after it was scuttled. They subsequently cut it up for scrap. The torpedo nets, I can’t really talk to that, apart from the fact they were abandoned mid war.

    Comes with the Infini upgrade.Amazing coincidence it’s the same size as the Pontos Dreadnought upgrade. Now, there is some black netting available that I used on my HMB Endeavour (yes I can do wood as well) that I got from Cornwall Models years ago.

    It’s a little bit tiny

    Anyways, new photo of Seydlitz

    As I stated, the level of detail is amazing

    Unfortunately their shipping to the bottom of the earth is astronomical
  12. RGL
    But i havent started

    A few reference books. 6 sheets of PE, lots of resin and brass too.

    I saw this upgrade from 5 Star models when I was watching @Jack12477, 's build of a Fletcher. http://steelnavy.net/5StarFletcherUpgrade350FBustelo.html Then I saw a photo on the net of some oilcanning So I thought, challenging, detailed (seriously the hardest PE set I've seen to date), I can beat it up, and it's small so mistakes won't be so visible. As it's a US Ship there are a lot of photos but this one will be strait out of the boxes.

    Here is an Anatomy of the Ship Iowa coningbout soon. A must have for you I imagine.

    I’m in! You need to breathe between builds!!!!
  18. RGL
    Well done. I can’t imagine housing her!
  19. RGL
    Just place the net along hull at the waterline and there’s your template for the holes.
  20. RGL
    No mate, the drilling template, follow that.
  21. RGL
    It’s very well engineered so as long as you use the template it holds very well.
  22. RGL
    Aaaaand I’m done. Up to the others to shine now.
  23. RGL
    It’s been a long trip Dave but you’re nearly there!
  24. RGL
    Well, nearly done, the final cables and pulleys added. I want to rust up the nets some more then I can add the final anchor, strip the plastic wrap and await my colleagues
  25. RGL
    Cool, rust it up !

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.
