I did a silver 10% overspray then a gloss coat. Decals added, I’m not going to add the big decals for the numbers as it just won’t work with what I’m trying to achieve (a 1907 ship and a 1917 blimp).

Furled torpedo nets; So I ended up with 1mm Tamiya braided wire (obviously for remote control cars ), I pulled out the rubber inner, then a primer coat. I tied (wrapped) very thin wire around it was well to break up the pattern. I tried dark brown/red but wasn’t happy, so I painted it flat black and then various enamel rust washes. This will run along the length of the hull on a platform.

I’m trying to get some back ground stuff done, lots of fittings getting pre painted. As the ship will have rolled torpedo nets I need to find a decent representation. So braided wire, two types to sit on the Photo etch steel shelves. I’ll paint both and go with what looks best, but after pulling out in the rubber inner of the Tamiya tube makes it sit better

I just leave them open, the scale does not warrant it. What you can do after painting is run the sharpened pencil on the inside to represent a inner porthole ring

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.
