The final bits, replacement Carley flairs and the paravane cranes which are possibly some of the most high stress PE to build. I accidentally destroyed 1 of the 6 supplies so I used a couple of spare brass ones to put amidships. Lots of primer painting tommorow.

Thanks, I think if I hadn’t done the ribs I would have made it a lot dirtier. There’s a guy called Koppeleski from up Cogs way who has posted his finished models on here, who has build logs on another site that I pretty much try and emulate.

Hull grunge. I used diluted light grey to dull down the red hull, then diluted black to blend that in, then some green for alge and finally some more light grey to put a tide mark on the boot strap using a piece of paper as a mask. Not overly noticeable but it makes it all less shiny.

It just completely clogs my H&S airbrush regardless of thinning. Tamiya and Gunze are just soo much easier. Hull numbers and depth markers added.

You just know there are perfect photos or models sitting in a Mess or RSL somewhere and the diggers are too old to care about the Internet

by 1944 the search light tower was replaced by radar which just looks like a large barrel. It’s referenced in one of the AWM photos. Vossy, you may be able to source some other photos being ex RAN. I’d love to build her in the final configuration but not without a decent set of images. The AWM ones are too distant

Vossy it’s because I’ve been at work all weekend and can’t get on the tools. I’m at a stage where I need a few hours on the airbrush and I just can’t do it after work as the 445am starts are a killer. We’ll get there.

There are lots of masts everywhere on the original photo so it probably is a parking lot.

This is a capture image I found in the imperial War Museum. Note the funnels are covered and there are boats on the deck. I suspect this is post WW1 but a nice image to show how grungy the hull was.

Morning from Oz. Too early for rum (though it is mother’s milk), I was once asked by a chap from Africa why Aussies only speak one language, I told him because we and the kiwis are the only ones down here. You notice Cog learnt to speak English from a pirate, which is very impressive as I thought it would be Vikings up that ways.

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.
