    Dirk, I think it's borderline? I bought the kit dirt cheap, and it came with a Artwox wooden deck and chain (The deck is incorrect so I did not use it) but the chain is far more accurate than what Pontos gave. It may be 1/4 too big but better than getting a North star individual linked chain and taking a full week to make it up. Damn, this is going to nag me now. Jan you can't see it but I did manage a triple layer. Too much like hard work for mine.

    i Just hate doing the ships boats as I reckon they just look horrible. Thus cover them with canvas.

    The colours even match up

    Big guns done, even the triple levels on the barrels, they need some weathering yet plus handrails, which will be about a full day’s work.

    The secondary guns complete

    Starting to get the next lot done. Firstly the anchor chains with some extra detail for chain stoppers and hawser Home covers.

    The colours are simply marvellous. The modulation is just right.

    @popeye the sailor, yes, no and no. I still have a lot to do on KGV

    Sorry, most of us don't have a spare 6 metres in the house to build one. Mind you sourcing the aircraft and the crew would be fairly easy. More teasers for the Seydlitz though, if you remember my Dreadnought, it can be done in a similar manner.

    Get stale? Nearly there. Back to work now so wont be done in a hurry

    The next lot in the paint cue, davits, focsle equipment, etc etc. I even ordered more carley floats. With soo many tiny pieces I have to alternate as I’d just go mad.

    That’s a hair cut, right?

    Every day?

    AS previously stated, Pontos based this kit on Tamiya’s Prince Of Wales not the KGV. As such the central catapult area is a retrofit and there is no protrusions at the end of the Cats on the side of the ship provided and have to be scratch built. The 42-43 version did have the armoured splinter shields instead of railings and I have yet to add 8 single 20mm guns. Yes, I also have to fix up the paintwork and add some large scuppers.

    I use acupuncture needles, packet of 100 for about $5

    So if I have staff does that make me a cat?

    You’re flying along, looking good. It’s funny how the camera picks up things they mk1 eyeball misses.

    I’m watching another build of her on FB, it’s a very busy ship, a lot of detail
  24. RGL
    Or insert some LED’s inside......

    So true, small scale also hides mistakes but if I were to build her again I’d do individual stanchions.

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.
