    So how it looks so far IMG_3468.MOV
  2. RGL
    The lid is on

    Tractor 2! Nearly there
  5. RGL
    Thick mud and grass
  6. RGL
    Rust wash, mud and dust next
  7. RGL
    Olive drab with a dark brown wash, then Drybrushed edges in red/brown and sponged on red brown. rust wash next
  8. RGL
    Next. The tracks, red primer, then a red brown coat, followed by. Heavy enamel rust wash, then a silver Drybrush to bring up the worn metal parts, then a heavy dust wash
  9. RGL
    Awnings added. That should do this one.
  10. RGL
    Come on! You can do it!

    Tin Roof; rusted……
  12. RGL
    Thats the chap. .

    Thanks mate, I’ll get the awnings on tomorrow and then do up the OD one. The hours of alignment have paid off so far. I watched Captain Nightshift do a video on a WW1 tank, follow that and you’ll replicate this easily enough.
  14. RGL
    Just need to add the awnings
  15. RGL
    Name the song ……

    So coming together now, a few days work to get the roof done now? Then I can do the other tractor
  17. RGL
    With a really big engine !

    It’s all about layers, if you look at my Borodino, Graf Zepplin or Seydlitz builds it covers the rust and wear. I followed a U tube video from Captain Nightshift which is just excellent

    Anyways, I now have 4 WNW kits which I intend to build on here if I live long enough. There are 2 more ships in the stash which will be done soon as there is very little that is grabbing me, maybe another Dreadnought ? Lots of stories about some new RN kits to be released but I don’t believe it.

    Unfortunately for some bizarre reason shipping from the US to Australia is truely offensive. A $90 kit has the same amount for shipping pretty much. It does not make sense why it is to high short of blatant profiteering from the carrier companies, a Gotha has a $200 shipping fee!!

    Starting to come together!!!

    Nice. Ww1 modelling is really now a thing, there is new stuff coming out all the time, new 3D printed stuff all the time too. Look forward to this

    So when I sanded down 50% of the interior of the tracked I stuffed up and added wrong tracks to each kit, and @Egilman pointed this out to me (I hadn’t noticed as I was probably a bit focused on the weathering), so I’ve been at work all afternoon and just got home after midnight and pulled them off and swapped them. 30 minutes of weathering the tracks tomorrow and I’m back on track. (He’s know, I’d know and it would just burn me up for stuffing it up. Thanks young man for saving me. Imagine if it was after I’d finished!!!
  24. RGL
    Dry brushed the tracks to bring out the worn bits and some rust wash
  25. RGL
    The weathering process begins

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.
