    Now, whilst Popeye and Cog finish up their builds (I'll put them in an album when finished) I'm researching my next build (Number 10) , BUT, the build after that Number 11)... Who want to play with another joint build? There is going to be an aftermarket set out for the kit later this year by the bloke who used to be at Pontos As such it won't start for months, but it will be simple build and Cog is already complaining that I nag him too much so you all have to put pressure on him too.

    Scribe into your primer coat perhaps then masking the squares?

    Well done, you’re nearly there. The railings are pretty much exactly right, but with the new paravane winches they throw it out a bit. I eventually did not place the two on the deck and just used the trestles.

    So we’re allowed to nag now are we?

    So if anyone lives in Glasgow....

    It's in a museum in the UK I think, I found few images when I was researching this one. Notice the shell holders near the cannons and the netting. There are a lot more pipes, and the real thing would also have a lot more voice pipes.

    I think you’ll find that’s a builders model and not 1/700 (though it could be done but it’s a bloody good camera).

    I’m here! Challenging to paint really. Looking forward to see how you attack it.

    I just woke up! Coffee, toast, then Rugby (all 3 playing today), nap then nightshift. I’ll pop next door shall I?

    Good progress Popeye.

    He’s right about Canbrrrr at the moment. It looks warmer at the soccer competition going on up north.

    Hahah, New South Wales is probably a fair bit bigger than Holland

    I knew there would be some gems like this around.

    It’s absolutely up to you old boy on how you want the outcome to be. I use primer as paint lifts if I don’t as I mask. I use Tamiya rattle can primer on and PE and have learnt to rub the plastic down with nail polish remover, particularly on large areas as the grease from fingerprints sticks. I’m yet to find a decent acrylic primer.

    The square thingy on the bow is a building in the back ground. By 1945 the a turret was replaced by a depth charge thrower and the overhang under the B turret was shortened. There is a description in the AWM photographs but no clear images.

    You can see the after torpedo tubes have been landed and it looks like the added a sideboard near the rear cannon platform as the paintwork rises above deck level. Needed to to make some room for my next build.

    I like that camo mate, well done on such a small build.
  18. RGL
    Come on, hurry up, photos! Where are you both at?

    Smokes

    I would still do the 1945 version but there is no reference material. I reckon by that time they just did, no plans lodged and used what they could. Or could steal.
  21. RGL
    Nearly a year off them, more $ for aftermarket

    Probably kill you as the amount of cutting required would clog up your lungs with resin dust.
  23. RGL
    If there was a 1940’s plastic version available I would, but the resin ones price is just silly.
  24. RGL
    Salt added at the waterline and done. Just park it up with the others awaiting Cog and Popeye. So small compared to a modern DDG.
  25. RGL
    Grunge and rust

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.
