Final 3 figures. Lots of recasts out there, I’ve done as best as I can to buy from the makers, the chap holding the teddy bear (it’s supposed to be a sword, I removed the hands and replaced them ) first cast was nowhere near as good as the second one I’ve ordered. This stuff is not like Copper state models figures, it’s obscure and you don’t know what you’ll get, the bloke in the MOPP suit is fantastic, the sniper no so much. My plan is to have these down this weekend , then I can start to complete the dio

Thanks Pat. I thought that the survivors would need other modes of transport, so I throw a little motorcycle together
-
Not at all gents, it makes perfect sense and that’s why I asked! I’ve decided to go with such sage advice and add some more thick get to ‘pads out’ the bow wave . Thanks boys. The white stuff you see in the foreground will dry clear and I’ve thrown some leave in it for effect.
-
So continuing with the wave experiments, the waves are quite easy to make but I’m kinda working in a vacuum, I tried adding some cotton bud but I don’t like it;
-
Because I want it to look dynamic I wanted to make a splashing bow wave on the port side as the ship rolls in, so using a UV torch and resin moulded over a silicone rolled up mat, it appears to come up ok. Now it’s not stuck in yet and it’s a proof of concept, I think it may work

So this is the overall concept, one or two little girls being rescued by a group of blokes in gas masks

You know when you Just lose interest in a project? The PE arrived from Poland and the Resin wheels, so a little bit of paint and done. -
All coming together now, all the kit parts are pretty much glued down. Signal halyards run through some fantastic RB models brass pulleys. Railings started, all the ropes are from Ropes in Scale as they are just the best .

So Ive started the foam bow wave which I will build up more. Whilst it’s been drying I’ve starred on the decks adding the fittings
-
So as part of the great lie (the can’t on the boat) which fits into the narrative of the story (yes, there will be a story and hopefully a Dauchund ) I want it to look ok like the is suddenly turning in and stopping so I will now sart building up a bow wave
-
Now the lights! Because the resin underneath has still (and will never go off), I’ll protect the electrics with a new piece of black cardboard with a clear piece over the globes. So the plan will be that the green with reflect up under the green sludge to look like radioactive glowing sludge

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.
