    It’s coming along now
  2. RGL
    All coming together now, all the kit parts are pretty much glued down. Signal halyards run through some fantastic RB models brass pulleys. Railings started, all the ropes are from Ropes in Scale as they are just the best .

    So, how to do a cabin light to show up the inside
  4. RGL
    So Ive started the foam bow wave which I will build up more. Whilst it’s been drying I’ve starred on the decks adding the fittings
  5. RGL
    So as part of the great lie (the can’t on the boat) which fits into the narrative of the story (yes, there will be a story and hopefully a Dauchund ) I want it to look ok like the is suddenly turning in and stopping so I will now sart building up a bow wave
  6. RGL
    Glowing slide and a dryfit. Now set on the base. Waves and wake next

    Now the lights! Because the resin underneath has still (and will never go off), I’ll protect the electrics with a new piece of black cardboard with a clear piece over the globes. So the plan will be that the green with reflect up under the green sludge to look like radioactive glowing sludge

    So far so good
  9. RGL
    Some green LED lights for the base the radiate radiation
  10. RGL
    So now I’ve polished the sides and given it a clear coat, I want to paint up some green slime climbing up the sides, once done I can start the top of the water

    So I haven’t abandoned her, I took it to a mates to get a base done up. I think I’ll paint the wood to look like old concrete
  12. RGL
    Red, after a lot of sanding. The top will be white. I’m awaiting some replacement wheels and some PE from Poland.
  13. RGL
    Now the seats and the hard to align shell
  14. RGL
    Sigh, Roden kits are a challenge and this one is the second part of our club 1930’s themed group build. luckily it’s not 1/35 but smaller but not easier!
  15. RGL
    I think I’m done!
  16. RGL
    Base coat of green down
  17. RGL
    Time for some paint
  18. RGL
    So the plans aren’t the best as they are photographs which are very grainy, and they also just miss out on bits! I have parts that I can’t figure out but they double up on the fragile stuff which is good for mistakes. A good razor saw and files are a must

    Quick build, I got this half price recently, Resicast beauty! I also got a 6 inch gun for a later planned diorama, but this one will go with the Roden tractor
  21. RGL
    Now I’m done, I wouldn’t done the crane attachment but it’s very inaccurate and I can’t be bothered to fix it
  22. RGL
    Progress!
  23. RGL
  24. RGL
    Now to get some paint on but for some reason I can’t post images
  25. RGL
    Ok that makes sense, it was the sandwich filling ( acrylic paste) that must have been the problem as the top and bottom are hard

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.
