    Starting on the hull, drilled out and cleaned the below deck gun hatches, drilled foundations for the hull ladders and started on the Rigols
  2. RGL
    1/350 is quite economical, big stuff will always be expensive as it takes a lot of time and resin
  3. RGL
    Ask him
  4. RGL
    Righto, the hull. Bow and stern chaser guns, the hull need to be cut open. Ladder holes to be drilled in. The stern pieces are clumsy became kit is designed fro both the Dresden’s (4 shafts) and Emden (2 shafts)
  5. RGL
    So this are the sprues that will be replaced with a lot of this stuff
  6. RGL
    No, it’s not brittle so breakages are rare, I’ve been using the stuff for a couple of years and it’s a lot better than some others with ‘hard’ resin which snaps very easily
  7. RGL
    The Micromaster stuff is stupidly good

    I’ll add the link where I did this build here 10 years ago, this time I own and airbrush and 3d printing is a thing. I’m still very happy with the old one and I intend on doing this build as a part of my presentation for our local hobby show in November which as become one of the biggest shows in Australia. I also have access timo the Australian War Memorial which has relics of her. the kit is now super hard to find and stupidly expensive on EBay with shipping anything outside of the US about $70 (that’s just saying we don’t want your business )

    Final one
  11. RGL
    Next
  12. RGL
    Next bit
  13. RGL
    Well that’s part 1 done
  14. RGL
    A machine gun to go….
  15. RGL
    That’ll do for today
  16. RGL
    Back to a simple later war pattern. There will be a lot of weathering to go yet.
  17. RGL
    It’s actually nowhere near good enough, it’s going to be re painted
  18. RGL
    So there’s 2 days of my life, the base done. Thoughts?
  19. RGL
    Painting template
  20. RGL
    Fairings added
  21. RGL
    Because they will have fairings over them I wanted to get the gravity engines done so I can mask off. Using a black base then silver, with a purple, blue then red to represent heat
  22. RGL
    So this interior is now done, as you can see from the final image, you won’t see much
  23. RGL
    Time to paint the inside
  24. RGL
    Progress, I wanted to do up all the interior so I can paint it then work on the exterior
  25. RGL
    Engine fitted

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.
