    Mate it depends where you live for taxes and shipping. You have to shop around the world
  2. RGL
    Pretty much

    4 hours later, 5 main guns masked. Tomorrow I’ll paint
  4. RGL
    So the ships boats
  5. RGL
    So importantly I was today years old when I discovered Dreadnoughts first Captain was Captain Bacon; part of my FB name (Chris P Bacon). back at the bench, working on the ships boats, base grey coat down in the big guns

    Will topical cream fix a pox?
  7. RGL
    On so many levels

    A photo I’ve never seen, Dreadnought coaling
  9. RGL
    Well Hood only got one good hit! I wonder how well a side hit by a tomahawk or a Shval would go on a ww2 battleship

    Excellent! Years ago I built the Endevour and the car chewed on the Cat Heads! Pontos does an upgrade set for this one, and the Micromaster stuff is just the best.

    To be fair, most of Canberra is down here in summer
  13. RGL
    On pause whilst I have quality beach time
  14. RGL
    You’re doing a great job!
  15. RGL
    Now some rust streaks.
  16. RGL
    So today hull grunge
  17. RGL
    So AK Salt is really potent and near impossible to remove. So after doing the salt line I’ve over sprayed with a heavily diluted grey which makes the white wash go away. Next is a green alge spray
  18. RGL
    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
  19. RGL
    An important part, the nameplate
  20. 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.
  21. RGL
    Dreadnoughts signal tower with the Barr & Stroud range finder. Kit piece in the foreground
  22. RGL
    Next to the boat deck, so many little pieces, but I finally got the funnels done today
  23. RGL
    Boat deck, lot of detail here
  24. RGL
    Well that’s the flying deck done, I’ve added a few little figures for detail but you’ll never see them.
  25. RGL
    So the 12 pounders for the flying deck

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.
