    So a few days off. I sprayed a clear coat over the base red/brown. Then a chipping fluid coat, and now green. Base that now needs to be lightened up. The wheel has about 4 different gradients, I’ll do some grey after.
  2. RGL
    Primer and Foundation coat down. Once set I’ll give it a matte coat before chipping fluids
  3. RGL
    Time for a bit of paint
  4. RGL
    Fairly straight forward. The rear gear rack is also part of the aftermarket set but it’s waaay to hard for me. I’m happy with the plastic and just added some rivets
  5. RGL
    Starting in the turret. The sleeve is bolted on in the real thing so a little bit of aftermarket again to add to plain plastic
  6. RGL
    Most of the lower hull done. I need to do up the equipment straps later. the aftermarket wheels compared to the kit ones.
  7. RGL
    They are aftermarket

    Lots of little PE bits. It’s certainly more simple than a ship that’s for sure

    So I thought I’d try and get a French vehicle done for my annual comp this year. Hobbyboss kit, plus a PE set and resin wheels. I’ve hoarded 4 Heller armor kits for next year which as rare as hens teeth so this will be the start.

    this link has a heap of details on the aircraft if interested. https://flyingmachines.ru/Site2/Crafts/Craft25837.htm

    I’ve made a start, the level of detail of the cockpit is ok but my plan is to sink her in the waves nose first so it’s not that important!

    This is the second of 2 little resin kits I was given, I gave away the (finished) last one to the bloke who gave me the kit. these kits are difficult. The wing struts look insanely hard to align.
  13. RGL
    Base coat down.
  14. RGL
    Bit of rust and done
  15. RGL
    Painted and started on the weathering
  16. RGL
    Thought I’d add another sub, a Wuhan Class sub.

    Very very tempted to buy this!
  18. RGL
    Masking up. Deck sone, then I want to put in the lines where I will be doing oil canning. Lots of different shapes
  19. RGL
    Flight deck. I used a black/Grey for the VLS hatches and the helicopter barriers. Once the flight deck dries ill mask then then the rest of the deck will be dark grey. the barriers are a pain, the PE is blank but the undersides have warning colours and hydraulics
  20. RGL
    The PE set basically blanks out all the potholes. The PE you see on the rear deck are for both the safety barriers (which I will model deployed as opposed to the kit flush ) and VLS silos near the actual hangar
  21. RGL
    So the upper hull. I’ve scratch built the hangar, painted and plugged it in. You can’t see much without a torch. A few little gaps I’ll need to fix but it goes on fairly flush.
  22. RGL
    I’ve added a light alge coat, next is the deck area
  23. RGL
    Lower hull done. I need to start grunging it up a little but I think I’ll leave that till the upper hull is done. I’m also in the process of doing up a half hull weathering demo for November as I’ve been asked to do a presentation of ship building/ Weathering and rigging.
  24. RGL
    How big will this be?
  25. RGL
    The best in show went to a MIG, people’s choice is the voted one by visitors

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.
