    Hull weathering starts. This is going to be I a seascape as the lower hull won’t be that important but I want to grunge up the waterline
  2. RGL
    An important part, the nameplate
  3. RGL
    Now a dryfit. It all goes down IK, the tripod mast needs some work on angle yet. I want to now get into hull weathering before I progress any further.

    Next to the boat deck, so many little pieces, but I finally got the funnels done today
  6. RGL
    Boat deck, lot of detail here
  7. RGL
    Well that’s the flying deck done, I’ve added a few little figures for detail but you’ll never see them.
  8. RGL
    So the 12 pounders for the flying deck
  9. RGL
    Next is the flying deck, ten 12 pounders, a couple of search lights. The 3D guns are gun out of this world
  10. RGL
    Pre chewed wooden deck down.
  11. RGL
    That’s the basic dazzle pattern down
  12. RGL
    Starboard side done. Now the tidy up
  13. RGL
    This is not easy
  14. RGL
    Back end of the mask comes off
  15. RGL
    Back to masking
  16. RGL
    Search lights
  17. RGL
    Next the rangefinders, anchors and some more deck hatches
  18. RGL
    You can see the 12 pounders on the cannons, this is the Micromaster replacements. There are a lot of these in the ship
  19. RGL
    The cannons, the kit, the Flyhawk fit out, the Pontos fit out and the Micromaster
  20. RGL
    So today from New Zealand, the Micromaster fit out part 2. Ships boats!
  21. RGL
    Like the Zeppelin I did over the Seydltz, I want to airbrush in the panels
  22. RGL
    Whilst I’m waiting on the masking tape, thought I’d make a start in part 2 of this build
  23. RGL
    So my 8mm tape won’t arrive until after Xmas. Bugger. Anyways, threw the ships barges together and masked the rear end of the hull.
  24. RGL
    So 10mm tape? Nope, I think I need 8mm
  25. RGL
    I reckon I can do it Pat! Your lessons have served me well

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.
