    Railings added, torpedo net shelves and rolled torpedo nets added.
  2. RGL
    Rigging pretty much done, railings next
  3. RGL
    Done. It actually looks better in real life as that’s as good as it’s going to get
  4. RGL
    Hard to pick but this is the radio antennae. Attempt 5 today. When I did it years ago it worked well but I’ve always wanted them slack. So very thin wire in the centre and denier lines on the outer. This is pretty much the hardest part of the build
  5. RGL
    So the deck and fittings are pretty much finished, the cage arials and other rigging to go them the railings and the torpedo net booms and their rigging. IMG_7234.mov IMG_7233.mov

    Deck fittings
  7. RGL
    Focsle done up. The chains are 3D printed with some amazing working 3d printed chain stoppers
  8. RGL
    And that’s all the boats on
  9. RGL
    Signal halyards added, all the ships boat bar 2 attached.
  10. RGL
    And glued on, now lots more rigging
  11. RGL
    Main mast and fore top mast
  12. RGL
    Boat deck done, foremast stepped
  13. RGL
    So today is about getting the boat deck done. Range finder, search lights, flag lockers, lashing some boats
  14. RGL
    Right o, forgot to rig the stays on the funnels.
  15. RGL
    So tomorrow’s job to lash these down
  16. RGL
    Now let’s begin
  17. RGL
    Time to bring the deck stuff together
  18. RGL
    The last of the ships boats!
  19. RGL
    Funnels done. Just wow; this is so amazing; I’d be happy with my first attempt but this is a few hours of work to paint and weather
  20. RGL
    The kit stacks with the Pontos additions and the painted 3D stacks. I’ve just noticed the front one will need a bit of surgery
  21. RGL
    Stoker would be the worst I reckon. Whilst I have zero interest in learning 3D printing, I see it as legitimate to the hobby as figure painting or busts. I can’t sculpt or draw but happy to throw paint on it.
  22. RGL
    Clean up, internal detail is amazing too
  23. RGL
    Yes, it’s tricky. Build, make or paint? At this scale I doubt anyone can replicate the accuracy at this scale but it is the future I think.
  24. RGL
    There are 5 of us doing the build for or April meet; I’ll close the log then with the complete set of 5
  25. RGL
    So Simon from Micromaster made these up for me, 3D printed funnels

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.
