    I got it at a very good price. I won’t build it for a while mind you. It’s won’t be a difficult build but a great weathering challenge
  2. RGL
    Might have bought another ship….(or a boat really)
  3. RGL
    Yes it’s on Utube but mixed up with Clayton Ockerby.
  4. RGL
    There was a lot of people there, 700 plus models
  5. RGL
    Well I got best ship (for my Borodino) first for my Panhard and a commended for Artillery (I think)
  6. RGL
    So day 1, subs and ships, over 700 models in total registered.
  7. RGL
    Local model show on this weekend, 3 ships, 2 subs, a MaK, a FW-190, a couple of dio’s, an artillery train and a wheeled AFV.
  8. RGL
    And it starts, 320 port holes drilled out….
  9. RGL
    So along with the Anatomy of the ship book I’ll use the old model as reference!

    When I first built Dreadnought I did not own an airbrush and used rattle cans and paintbrushes. I was really happy with the build at the time and it’s time to redo her in a different way. hopefully better.

    Build quality from 1976 to 2016 is a lot easier!
  12. RGL
    And a new one!
  13. RGL
    It’s ugly
  14. RGL
    Another day and I’m done on this one
  15. RGL
    Hull pretty much done. The kit provides a set of spare barrels that on the back deck then a piece of plastic to cover them completely. The real thing has brackets on either side.
  16. RGL
    Apparently the DCA was not that good as it didn’t store enough ammunition.
  17. RGL
    No I’ll do a modern release AMX next with a proper aftermarket set. Be nice to have something that aligns. On South Pacific paso’s it’s double the price
  18. RGL
    So despite the Postal Systems best efforts to destroy it, the last 1975 kit has arrived in Oz from the UK
  19. RGL
    So aftermarket tracks. They do not click together. This is a massive job
  20. RGL
    Nice build. The rigging is great. I have soya in my stash along with the Hasewaga PE. Pontos do the 1/250 I think unless I’ve missed something
  21. RGL
    So my brains trust thought it needed more waves to look natural.
  22. RGL
    And done
  23. RGL
    Lovely work
  24. RGL
    Working on a few waves
  25. RGL
    So the resin pour has now gone off. First thin coat of waves to make it opaque.

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.
