    The build is on here; I just don’t want to spend a decade on one.

    Now the pain, railing stanchions. I put an #11 blade on the deck to give some perspective
  4. RGL
    Nah!

    It can be an issue of standing too close to the wall at times. Some details are soo tiny as to be invisible to the naked eye, yet alone practical to attach so I don’t bother. Is it visible form arms length? Is it with destroying the piece for that invisible piece of detail?

    No mate, just patiently plodding along. If you can see the the Endeavour in the back ground it’s an exercise in patience when it comes to rigging, if I can do that I can do up a crane. Once you get your head around how it works, it gets easier.

    The 2 ships cranes, horrible instructions and I needed to add on a few extras so the rigging is correct but now they’re attached I’m fairly happy. I just have to hang a plane off one.

    Nearly there! Ammo boxes, deck equipment, new chains to keep @Dubz happy! 34 individual 20mm guns. Plus a ship’s bell. The ships plane, railings (not looking forward to a week of rigging stanchions, davits; light weathering. Oh, and the screws. Starting to look like a warship.

    The secret is rapid set CA

    Some simple rigging done

    How about a jap destroyer Cog to go with your Yamato? If if I hadn’t done my triple Japanese set I’d probably do this. Now I’ve got a triple RN it means I have 2 more Germans to go after the Emden.

    Thanks for the likes. @Dubz I have painted up another chain which I will try before doing up the railings which will be one of the last steps. The main guns, a bit of dry brushing, add handrails and a Pom Pom

    He’s a bit like the All Blacks compared to the rest of the world in Rugby

    Yet again K, you make it look easy

    Seriously I can hardly see it and I spent 2 days masking.

    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.

    Um, NZ is in the Commonwealth games.......

    i Just hate doing the ships boats as I reckon they just look horrible. Thus cover them with canvas.
  23. RGL
    The colours even match up
  24. RGL
    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.
  25. RGL
    The secondary guns complete

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.
