    Love this mate
  2. RGL
    And I’m back, fresh from NZ’ Micromaster, a 1/72 dingy. Diorama time
  3. RGL
    And that will do for now
  4. RGL
    Now the barrel. Seriously now I’m in the process of doing it I probably don’t need / Would not have, used teh aftermarket barrel.
  5. RGL
    Ok, that’s the hull done.
  6. RGL
    Yes, well, I just got the DCA from the UK on eBay!! That will make 5 from ‘75. They are rare as bloody hens teeth.
  7. RGL
    The chassis of the Amx-13/155. The instructions say the top bits go on last. Given I’m now on #4 this way works more better.
  8. RGL
    And I think for $70 postage it would be door to door.
  9. RGL
    So the last one (maybe) c I can’t get the last 2 from 1976 (yet).
  10. RGL
    So that’s 3
  11. RGL
    Painted and closed up. This is going to need some putty
  12. RGL
    So this is the little 155mm carrier with some aftermarket/ scratch built stuff.
  13. RGL
    This is the third and last APC, seats for the AMX-13/155 crew and 155mm ammo.
  14. RGL
    Hello 1976
  15. RGL
    So Open source, I wish they made the trailer but they did'nt!
  16. RGL
    Undercarriage done and ready for number 3
  17. RGL
  18. RGL
    Seriously it goes togeather so much easier this way. Tomorrow I can get the axles done then on to #3
  19. RGL
    The interior done. Bloody clumsy work. Still, very different
  20. RGL
    Done. I’ll post pictures later in the year with the other group builders kits.
  21. RGL
    Yeah I stuffed up. Super clear is required for the base. I’ll get there!
  22. RGL
    Silver. Need to figure how to polish it now.
  23. RGL
    Primer coat. I want to leave it for a few hours then I’ll lion for errors. next is my paint mule so I can try stuff on before I ruin the nice plane.
  24. RGL
    My plan is not to win, just to contribute to the group build and do it as a clean build in chrome. Damn, Eduard kits are nice after some of the dogs I’ve done over the last few years. The details are just amazing. Very little putty so far and that is more my fault than the manufacturer
  25. RGL
    My local club has an annual build for its show called the Grail. This year it’s any Eduard 1/48 Fw-190. so a mate gave me the kit, and it has to be built by November with OOB rules (you may use different decals). so 2 days later, kit done. Masking and painting next.

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.
