    Some light weathering and I’m finished. Parked up beside Yamato. .

    Thank you all, Cog, I only use CA and fat fingers, that explains why autocorrect did not pick up Davits and placed habits.

    wow, in context to military ops, that's really scary.

    Glad you’re back. I love the deck, but for some reason my last deck was ever so slightly uneven as well whehich makes it difficult when you drill the stanchion holes. If I can suggest, Eduard 1/350 German railing stanchions are actually 1/200, are perfect for you build AND have real chain (ish). They would be perfect for this build. Trust me on the scale I measured it. Greg

    I seriously never want to see one again. For some reason it didn’t like CA (I think it’s gone off), V1 got knocked off the desk by (I suspect) the wife turning off a lamp, smashed to bits, V2 would just not stick and V3 is barely satisfactory. The Pontos set does not include ships habits and the kit ones are horrible. I had some spare from my Dreadnought build but need a lot more, $6 worth of davits hopefully arriving tomorrow to finish this build.

    Tin foil from the kitchen doubled over

    I think it’s because it’s cheap

    It took me 3 goes, hard clear plastic is horrible to work on.

    And apparently this is how the crane works!

    Nearly finished; I decided to put some more tarps on the ships launches

    Whatever you said about converting script lost me completely. With you language skills I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Welcome to my world of breaking drill bits. Once you start you will never go back.

    Sorry to hear mate, stay distracted

    They’re already selling the barrels and mast sets, but I’ll just wait for the full set. Little bit to go on KGV yet.

    The pending upgrade set
  17. RGL
    I really like the colours

    I think there may be some of that class in Resin? But resin is just so expensive (it’s effectively hand made really). Any HMAS post ww2 would have to be modified from a US ship really I suppose as the market is just not there. There is a FB group of HMAS in scale which may help.

    Now every photo I post from here on in is open source and on multiple websites so I just can't give them provenance. Its over 100 years ago. Most show battle damage from 1916, but they do show her construction methods. Warship 14 is available to view on Google Books for free, I just can't publish it. It has her history and other photos.

    The box contents. the molds are are good as anything Tamiya is making, and there is a fair bit of PE as well, the hull is unfortunately smooth (nothing that can't be fixed easily) and it is missing the side on torpedo tubes as well as a stern one. Meh, that can be remedied.

    As the upgrade set for this is out next month, we're going to start the log with an open invitation to join. You do not need to purchase PE, and I'll post some photos of the Hobby Boss contents, they are very well molded, not the Airfix blobs of our childhood. This build covers several time zone of the US, Oz and some place in Europe where Cog is from. Mind you he speaks more languages than me.
  22. RGL
    Just look at the photos really, if I lived to be 500 I’d never be that good.
  23. RGL
    The two most beautiful books I own
  24. RGL
    Now to compare Vendetta (1) to a battleship (both in 1/350)
  25. RGL
    Just about finished, flags, screws and davits done. Unfortunately the Walrus was located on the floor of my study today destroyed. I have plenty of them but no PE for them. I’ll have to order some. Just some hull weathering to do.

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.
