    Our model show is every November, I’ve slowly been digging away at having more ships there
  2. RGL
    Did you get the RCSubs upgrades?
  3. RGL
    I have one of these (and several other WNW ) kits in my ‘retirement’ stash. This looks great !
  4. RGL
    It’s a nice kit!
  5. RGL
    Clear gloss coat gives it a little depth….
  6. RGL
    So about 4 shades of blue.
  7. RGL
    The deep blue sea !
  8. RGL
    Next part of the build
  9. RGL
    For my first attempt it’s not total crap
  10. RGL
    Dryfit
  11. RGL
    So I need to learn how to do a seascape, if a kit is disposable to me it’s this one. foam with a black base then a sea blue lighter shades of blue light blue with foam to go
  12. RGL
    What?
  13. RGL
    Wow, looking at Big Bertha beside the Takom Morser!
  14. RGL
    So the concept is to have 2 soldiers collecting trophy’s oblivious of the refugees
  15. RGL
    This actually comes with a roof which I won’t use
  16. RGL
    So this is where we’re at; tractor taking Morser
  17. RGL
    So black and then brown chipping, and a brown wash
  18. RGL
    I’ve send you images of the instructions
  19. RGL
    Most of the big bits aren’t glued, only glued the control levers today after painting them for ease of access. I can take images of the instructions if you want
  20. RGL
    Well that’s the base coat done. This goes together beautifully and tomorrow I’ll get a clear coat on before I start weathering
  21. RGL
    Getting some paint in the Fowler
  22. RGL
    Well that’s the build of this done, there will be a fair bit more weathering yet but I want to get the tractor together so the colours of the dirt dust and mud are the same
  23. RGL
    So today some paint. Base coat down weathering next
  24. RGL
    So I’ve now made the fun up, nice piece really
  25. RGL
    The Eagle-Man is an absolute treasure with this research. Love it.

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.
