    So Simon from Micromaster made these up for me, 3D printed funnels
  2. RGL
    I used glue….
  3. RGL
    Done! It’s a horrible little kit quite frankly
  4. RGL
    Clear coat done. Hopefully get some chipping fluid on later to day or tomorrow
  5. RGL
    Clear orange over silver, tidy up and next a clear coat
  6. RGL
    Love a of putty required, the gaps are big, about 3 primer coats now a base black coat.
  7. RGL
    So massive gaps, big seam lines but it cost $10, that’s about $6 USD for you northerners. Ready for paint!

    I’ve always loved Dune since reading the books in high school. This little delight cost $10 and it m in a group build with our club, everyone will do if differently. I think I’ll just be tradition with a few extras ….

    I have this on my shelf as well for the future. Look forward to following you.
  10. RGL
    you need to go to scalemates.com, they list every kit and release dates
  11. RGL
    Well this bit is done
  12. RGL
    Next is the pagoda
  13. RGL
    I did a silver 10% overspray then a gloss coat. Decals added, I’m not going to add the big decals for the numbers as it just won’t work with what I’m trying to achieve (a 1907 ship and a 1917 blimp).
  14. RGL
    Righto, so tomorrow I’ll paint the tricolours on the fins
  15. RGL
    Now to fade it all out
  16. RGL
    Jeeze I’m over this!
  17. RGL
    Wow this has taken a while
  18. RGL
    Different width masking tape. Silver overcoat, then mask again for a full day, tan spray, remove mask, remasking at the moment
  19. RGL
    I also have this kit for a ‘one day’ build
  20. RGL
    Tedious indeed, dark silver respray then 4 hours more masking and still not done
  21. RGL
    Ok, still too rough, completely sanded it back and a dark grey which will show the ribs later. All day masking.
  22. RGL
    Now a silver basecoat. This is what I want to end up with eventually
  23. RGL
    So whilst I’m awaiting some stuff in the mail, onto the blimp. red primer coat and some sanding white primer coat, but more sanding to go
  24. RGL
    Furled torpedo nets; So I ended up with 1mm Tamiya braided wire (obviously for remote control cars ), I pulled out the rubber inner, then a primer coat. I tied (wrapped) very thin wire around it was well to break up the pattern. I tried dark brown/red but wasn’t happy, so I painted it flat black and then various enamel rust washes. This will run along the length of the hull on a platform.
  25. RGL
    The anchors (compare the kit one above the three Micromaster ones)

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.
