    Next is the flying deck, ten 12 pounders, a couple of search lights. The 3D guns are gun out of this world
  2. RGL
    Pre chewed wooden deck down.
  3. RGL
    That’s the basic dazzle pattern down
  4. RGL
    Starboard side done. Now the tidy up
  5. RGL
    This is not easy
  6. RGL
    Back end of the mask comes off
  7. RGL
    Back to masking
  8. RGL
    Search lights
  9. RGL
    Next the rangefinders, anchors and some more deck hatches

    You can see the 12 pounders on the cannons, this is the Micromaster replacements. There are a lot of these in the ship
  11. RGL
    The cannons, the kit, the Flyhawk fit out, the Pontos fit out and the Micromaster
  12. RGL
    So today from New Zealand, the Micromaster fit out part 2. Ships boats!

    Like the Zeppelin I did over the Seydltz, I want to airbrush in the panels
  14. RGL
    Whilst I’m waiting on the masking tape, thought I’d make a start in part 2 of this build
  15. 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.
  16. RGL
    So 10mm tape? Nope, I think I need 8mm
  17. RGL
    I reckon I can do it Pat! Your lessons have served me well

    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
  20. RGL
    Lino sections masked. Took and hour!!
  21. 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.
  22. RGL
    Paint cards, I’m thinking a base of storm grey
  23. RGL
    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.
  24. RGL
    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.
  25. RGL
    Getting my primer on

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.
