    So using my mule, I’m trying to figure how how to do the dazzle pattern. One thing for someone on a computer, another for a mutt like me It’s about getting the angles right, so each square seems to be about 10mm which would make sense as it’s a digital render. I need to get some 10mm Tamiya masking tape (it’s the best tape as it doesn’t bleed) and I should be good to go. As I’m on nightshift this week I can’t get to the store unfortunately

    Grey base

    Lino sections masked. Took and hour!!
  4. RGL
    The lino decks, 2 shaded s of red/brown to represent the linoleum walk ways. I’ll give it a day to set them mask before an overall light grey coat.

    Paint cards, I’m thinking a base of storm grey

    Hull red, I’m going to weather the lower hull but I need to do the depth markers and they will be once the upper hull is done. The boot strap is still under mask.

    I really have not had much time, primer coat down, hopefully fixed the imperfections. Black bootstrap next using a Tamiya Laquer paint which is a beautiful matte black.
  8. RGL
    Getting my primer on
  9. RGL
    Dryfit. That’s the bulk of the building done now.

    To answer question 1, this is the clamp. Question 2, the boom rigging is PE, it won’t masked much difference when painted, the rest of the rigging will be denier line.

    Mainmast done up for paint, still can separate it into 3 pieces
  12. RGL
    The boom, plus the telegraph indicators
  13. RGL
    Foremast in progress
  14. RGL
    I saw some fighting last night but they **** through before I could get a photo! mainmast done, foremast is absolute pain to align. Bluetack and glue finally got me there
  15. RGL
    Back to the ship, mainmast made up
  16. RGL
    Some nature from the suburbs
  17. RGL
    It does not seem much, but the bridge structure, lots of clean up needed on the supports, wood deck down with a clear coat and masked for later painting. My plan is to pretty much have every structure painted before adding to the hull. When I did it the first time I paid no where near as much attention so this time it will work better I hope. 2 days work !

    Boat deck continues, range finder, flag lockers, Radio cage, admirals walk and radio room
  19. RGL
    So 2 days later, I’ve done up the funnels, they have pulleys and ropes that go on them as well but I’ll add them after I’ve painted them.

    Slowly slowly. Micromaster doors, eyebrows, ringols. You have to be wearing an optivisor to see the details
  21. RGL
    So I finally found (from EBay of course) a set of ringols from Alliance Modelworks (I think they’ve shut these days). Each PE set has portholes as a ring but that’s not how they were. You can hardly see them from a distance but has to be done.
  22. RGL
    So the first of the 3D pieces arrived today, coal scuttles, hatches, propellers, anchors, doors
  23. RGL
    Primer coats, built up some panels. Next is marking out the holes for scuppers, eyelets for the torpedo booms, rigging points, side booms. Nice to be back on an over complicated warship !
  24. RGL
    So generously sent to the other end of the globe by @Egilman, the final 2 of the 1975 production runs of the AMX-13 has arrived ! You rock mate!
  25. RGL
    Hull together

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.
