    This one’s been a bit of a shelf Queen for a while. I thought I’d get some paint on today
  2. RGL
    Done for now. Next step is to sink her in resin with a rescue boat beside.

    Matt coat then weathering
  5. RGL
    One of the harder things I’ve had to do for a while.
  6. RGL
    Not easy!
  7. RGL
    It’s just a red/brown mix with a satin overspray

    Now I’ve finished my French thingy, I want to finish this. To represent wood grain I’ve used a wood grain stencil with a mid brown base. Oat then a dark brown spray through the stencil. Then and orange filter. Next will be a gloss coat. next, hours of masking to do the ribs, buff, base coat then graduated lighter shades after masking.

    From everything I’ve read all their armor was as rough as F. Plenty of opportunities to weather a tank built and operated by drunkards!

    Nightshift on Utube
  11. RGL
    And done. The 3D printed wheels are very nice.
  12. RGL
    Tools added, aerials added. Dust next.
  13. RGL
    Chipping and a neutral wash.
  14. RGL
    Base coat! I’m quite happy with this, chipping tomorrow
  15. RGL
    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.
  16. RGL
    Primer and Foundation coat down. Once set I’ll give it a matte coat before chipping fluids
  17. RGL
    Time for a bit of paint
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. RGL
    Most of the lower hull done. I need to do up the equipment straps later. the aftermarket wheels compared to the kit ones.
  21. RGL
    They are aftermarket
  22. RGL
    Lots of little PE bits. It’s certainly more simple than a ship that’s for sure
  23. RGL
    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!

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.
