    Ok, boats are painted and time to tie them to the dec. the aft funnel and mast have been removed for this part
  2. RGL
    I can just drill a tiny hole in the keel then insert a needle. I’m not sure yet.....

    Ships boats, fairly simple

    Next are the trestles for the ship’s boats which go amidships. Skylights and cable reels. There are 4 sets of bollards which are not supplied by Infini and it is expected to use the kit ones on the plastic deck but there are very recessed into the deck once the wooden one is added. As such I used 1/700 battleship bollards which are the exact size. Next will I’ll be the ship’s boats.

    Infini provides chain but I didn’t like it and replaced it with spares and used narrower stuff for the chain stoppers.

    Forcastle area, there are so many little bits to add it has to be done piecemeal or I get lost. I still have a lot to add to this and weatherthere are about 60 coal scuttles added, and a few skylights.
  7. RGL
    Maybe?
  8. RGL
    A few more reference shots for you.

    This is a shot of the Von Der Tan looking forward towards other battlecruisers with Seydlitz in the lead. Notice the side railings are all are all folded down and there are a mass of ropes and cleats for the anti torpedo net rigging. I am still pondering how I’m going to replicate this on the deck.

    Yes mate, join in. You are more than welcome.
  11. RGL
    Well done mate. It’s the start of a beautiful relationship......
  12. RGL
    I find I need to take it in bite size pieces otherwise I get lost in the details and forget what goes where.
  13. RGL
    Please start a log here too then mate.
  14. RGL
    The three main superstructures are done, there is a fold out flybridge to go yet but I need to do stuff to the deck which will place them at risk
  15. RGL
    Welcome from Canberra
  16. RGL
    Stanchions in, a few hours now to rig
  17. RGL
    Thanks. Fore mast and bridge, slow progress
  18. RGL
    It’s about the same as the Pontos Dreadnought I think and priced about the same. You’ll love it Carl.
  19. RGL
    None of this is glued down yet, the deck appears to keep popping up. The bridge is next. Then the deck features, then figure out the deck rigging for the nets.
  20. RGL
    The rear or main mast section
  21. RGL
    Jan, this is the size of the Big guns
  22. RGL
    Big guns finished
  23. RGL
    Ok, funnel and crane section finished.
  24. RGL
    The Lino is actually the correct colour, but I’m going to have to overspray the funnel again to lighten it up.
  25. RGL
    No,the limo is sprayed. I tried to use three shades of red. I’m thinking of using another layer of red on the aft funnel.

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.
