    Now some rust streaks.
  4. RGL
    So today hull grunge
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. RGL
    An important part, the nameplate
  8. 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.

  11. RGL
    Boat deck, lot of detail here
  12. RGL
    Well that’s the flying deck done, I’ve added a few little figures for detail but you’ll never see them.
  13. RGL
    So the 12 pounders for the flying deck
  14. RGL
    Next is the flying deck, ten 12 pounders, a couple of search lights. The 3D guns are gun out of this world
  15. RGL
    Pre chewed wooden deck down.
  16. RGL
    That’s the basic dazzle pattern down
  17. RGL
    Starboard side done. Now the tidy up
  18. RGL
    This is not easy
  19. RGL
    Back end of the mask comes off
  20. RGL
    Back to masking
  21. RGL
    Search lights
  22. RGL
    Next the rangefinders, anchors and some more deck hatches
  23. RGL
    You can see the 12 pounders on the cannons, this is the Micromaster replacements. There are a lot of these in the ship
  24. RGL
    The cannons, the kit, the Flyhawk fit out, the Pontos fit out and the Micromaster
  25. RGL
    So today from New Zealand, the Micromaster fit out part 2. Ships boats!

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.
