    Attempt 2. Too much red also came off the silver base so more to paint there too.

    Never too late, I’m happy with the red and the blue bits, nothing is glued on yet

    So this is where I’m at. The base coat is pretty much done sans decals and weathering. The white is not doing it for me.

    50 Euro for what appears to be the same set

    Painting in some metal panels. I did an aluminium base, then several shades of red worn back with chipping fluid. I then have it a red filter. It looks filthy which I’m pretty happy with. I’ll give it a satin coat next before masking for the next lot of panels in another colour.

    I have a set of plans in German in 1/200, they are are rare as hens teeth.

    Ron Morrow at HMAS in scale on FB would be a good reference too, he’s pretty much the expert for Oz ships

    The fighting cabin, just need to add seatbelts

    Carry on! Be good to see your progress

    Have you looked at Profile Morskie for plans? paints, don’t worry about them, just use acrylics and mix to get a close enough. the 3D parts are all amazing g but unless you use an airbrush don’t bother as you will lose the detail using a hairy stick.

    Not even planning on at the moment, I have about 3 future projects booked sorry
  13. RGL
    There’s a guy on the HMAS group on FB that has done one. Look forward to seeing this.

    Big!!!

    Something completely different, a massive alternative kit from the 1980’s. Don’t need much glue but does need some putty so far.

    Next part of the build

    Now, I’m happy this is done, now for some submarines

    So today I had the great privilege of getting a tour of the Australian war memorial annexe. Three massive warehouses full of stuff. I got to finally show off Roma with a real Fritz X. My guide said no one has ever done this with a model before. IMG_1633.MOV

    Thanks mate, I’ve got some very nice rope from one of our sponsors to tie them together and a lot of figures
  20. RGL
    I nearly bought this too! Look forward to it

    Progress at last, not much to do now on it. Also a Landing craft and some barges

    Hull weathering
  23. RGL
    So I grunged up the lower hull and added a blue filter. I think I’ll add some more scratches and obviously a lot more rust on the hull yet before moving onto the topside. I’ve discovered some new wood filters from AK for the deck which are just great to work with

    Removing the tape, now the weathering can begin
  25. RGL
    Now using the worn effects

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.
