    I need to do something different, this 6” gun is a 3D print from Panzer Concepts in the US. As usual I’ve overcapitalised and bought 2 Holt tractors for it. I gave away my Yamato and the bloke didn’t need the base so I thought this would be perfect for it

    Thought I’d add a ships launch
  4. RGL

    After weeks of prepping little things and figures and a few weeks off for Josie work, starting to fill in things. The front part of the ship, so eventually I’ll have 2 subs alongside

    Welcome

    It will be fine, the issue with Battleships is you get fixated on the micro not the Macro and the end product suddenly turns up and you go “wow, that looks OK’. There are so many tiny details only you notice.
  12. RGL
    Well done mate! I’m tempted to do a US Carrier will all the aircraft on deck under snow too!
  13. RGL
    Now some deck details
  14. RGL
    Rigging done.
  15. RGL
    Last part of the rigging, the radio antenna

    Thanks, it’s near impossible to find this kit, I just got lucky on Facebook marketplace and got it for around 100 Australian pesos. Hasegawa PE is really expensive for what you get too,
  17. RGL
    Todays effort; the railings. The Hasegawa set of quite good, thick (easy to use) good instructions and little flaps on the bottom you bend at 90 degrees so it’s easy to stick down. I’ll now need to repaint it all as no matter how hard you try you can never cover the things on paint or they chip off. ships never look right without railings and as this was originally a passenger ship it’s much better
  18. RGL
    Denier line, it’s Lycra rigging under many names available from hobby shops
  19. RGL
    All these cool peoples, how could I not be?
  20. RGL
    A lot of rigging for one day.
  21. RGL
    I’m hopeless of left and right! The subs will be nestled on the left / Port/ Red!!!
  22. RGL
    Front mast done. I have it rigged to it will be slinging a torpedo outboard starbord
  23. RGL
    Rigging the single (small) cargo booms.
  24. RGL
    The cargo booms and the PE fittings. A few days work

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.
