    Because I’m in build mode, and I’m probably not going to use it but I’m throwing together the 8” howitzer as well. Lots of gaps and running repairs needed so far.
  2. RGL
    I spent sone time last night looking at photos online, and sone have the pole in the awnings (usually stateside photos) and in Europe they are not so visible, it does give an idea mind
  3. RGL
    Finally, I’ve added the curtains that appear on every one I’ve seen. Paint next.
  4. RGL
    And later; the tracks, I just need to sand down these little injection ports
  5. RGL
    Next I’ve put off till last as I’m dreading it. At least they are only clipped togeather with no glue

    So today I cut off all the remaining pieces off the Sprue and cleaned them up. every online build says the roof section has sink marks all down the centre. For once had a win and I had none whatsoever but I noticed Rock Lawler on his Propaganda site had put a strip down the middle to cover it. Made perfect sense so I did it as well and riveted mine in

    It’s got amputation Written all over it.
  8. RGL
    I’ve got some very thin stuff used for 1/350 railings
  9. RGL
    Wire?
  10. RGL
    Good point but it will be inside a cowling so not really worth th effort.
  11. RGL
    So we are all probably old enough to remember the horrible soft plastic from Airfix, and according it’s bloody hard to work with. I’ve cut and sanded for hours so I could improve on the cylinder heads to look a little better. I’ll do the wiring once I’ve painted it.

    The engine, lots of pieces and lots of clean up needed. Full day to clean up and add to the engine block, lots of blobs cut out to help with alignment and tomorrow I can add sone details. The beauty of this engine is that it’s simple but lot and lots of reference photos
  13. RGL
    Coming togeather but you can see from the size or the gaps on this fuel tank, this is the fight I’m having with the poor molds
  14. RGL
    You can see the process of development 100 years after, just not then. Like why do they need a front steering wheel? Obviously not but back then? I grew up in a farm in the 1970’s with big tractors but the difference to farmers by was very very different
  15. RGL
    Thanks, there are a heap of reference photos of her. I got some aftermarket rivets as the kit ones are so damn rough. Here’s a good one of the underside
  16. RGL
    So the undercarriage is done. Most wind be visible once the upper body and tracks are on.
  17. RGL
    The undercarriage of the Holt Tractors. It’s a really cool design by Rodin poorly made. I added a few rivets to the front steering wheel
  18. RGL
    I have a lot of files, I’m giving them a massive work out. I’m dreading the first primer coat.
  19. RGL
    So after the beauty of the 3D print, the Roden tractors are going to fight me the whole way like my Zvezda Borodino. Misaligned and more flash than a pimp.
  20. RGL
    So I got a lot of warping but once I got my head around what I need to do I but the bullet and made a start. This set is so cool.
  21. RGL
    Yes please. My plan is to tow it in this configuration as it looks good, using 2 holt’s
  22. RGL
    I’m sorry, it whilst it’s massive it’s pretty cool
  23. RGL
    The configuration is really cool, as one tractor rows the barrel and the second Carrie’s the frame
  24. RGL
    And the tractors

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.
