    Nope, they just dropped from the rafters. Or from someone taller than me.
  2. RGL
    Nope, no pictures no evidence

    It’s on his birth certificate

    Oh, someone just woke up confused

    Ha, so many patient women (or men; we went to the stage show of Priscilla last night, marvellous). Minus 6 her last night apparently which is exceptionally cold here in Oz. Popeye, how far off are you? Take your time, more time to offer Cog advice of course.

    For some reason the Pontos instructions are not for the Tamiya KVG. The main gun director is a different piece to the ones used in the instructions and is about 3mm too low and both are utterly devoid of details at the front. I used the main turret lug to lift it up enough. The secondary gun directors had a radar between them in the Pontos 41 version but not in the 43 version. It also gives you some gantry that go beneath them that are on the POW but never on KGV. Next will be the bridge facade and wind deflectors. I can’t glue it all up yet as I want to prime it then do the decks on this piece as there are binoculars, search lights, signal lamps, more MG directors, flag lockers.

    Ah, the sensi is in the house, excellent.

    20, she would already be out on parole by now

    Quick 3 hour drive up the road for our wedding anniversary, I love this town, a couple of days away from the tools.

    It’s loosely translated as “can talk underwater with mouth full of marbles”. Kangaroos on the other hand, are nowhere near as dangerous as the traditional Australian drop bear

    Bugger! I think you should anyway last so you can teach me.
  12. RGL
    Ps; enough praise, hurry up

    It’s a good looking kit, I really like the camo designs they used, and I’m looking forward to how you weather her and the weathering between the colours
  14. RGL
    Bloody dangerous creatures, they’ll gut you if you get too close and love to jump in front of cars. Tough buggers
  15. RGL
    Yes, he does rabbit on a bit doesn’t he.

    As long as you have a good set of flat noses pliers and /or a PE bender you’ll be fine. If you can do those Pom Poms so well you can do anything. When some of the PE is ludicrously small I don’t bother either.
  17. RGL
    Well, if you don’t ask....
  18. RGL
    The hull looks good

    Fowl is a chook. A chicken. Delicious animal.

    Oh, yes I can! Mr Taylor wants to join and tease you too
  21. RGL
    She just rolls her eyes at me usually
  22. RGL
    Yep, the teasing is free
  23. RGL
    You get to tease Cog for free.

    Ok, little reminder for our next group build, SMS Seydlitz. Infini Models has started the upgrade set to go with it. Love to see y’all join in.
  25. RGL
    Yes, there are 2 large tripod masts to add. Given the difficulty level I’ll probably leave them till last. Lots of work to go on this bridge superstructure to go get, it will soak up a lot of PE and extra details. You’d be disappointed otherwise.

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.
