    So happy new year from Oz. I’m working over this period and go on leave after nightshift tonight, big things for the next year. I need to figure out how the cargo hoists work, maybe replace the masts.

    Sponge and paint brush with 1/1 size hand
  6. RGL
    Now a bit of hand chipping

    They certainly do! Shipping is a killer from the US to Oz, there are also some very nice Resicast kits which are bloody expensive too.

    Bloody autocorrect. 1/35. The kit depicted, plus 2 additional Holts and a panzer concepts 6” cannon

    Nice work! I’ve just ordered up some holt Tractors in 1/350 and some artillery pieces ! I have away my Yamato and the bloke who got it gave back the huge base so I can do up an artillery convoy.

    Plugging in the cargo holds
  16. RGL
    So the decks, there will be an absolute ton on extra detail, not just the fittings. Next is to glue down the preprepared cargo holds

    Boxing day here in Oz, merry Xmas to the rest of you. I’ve completed the decks, which all had to be painted first as the construction processes require it to be finished first so I can get the whole thing to sit flush. This includes starting the dazzle painting on the sides. . I want to put a matte coat on the wood next then start plugging it all in.

    Cradles

    Finally some green slime. I’ll give this a day or so to dry properly as this is the best time to add fingerprints to your model.

    Next, sponge on the Alge with Mr Surfacer 1000 then a tan/Grey overspray
  21. RGL
    Base brown for the lower hull. My intention is to pretty much cover her in grunge, I think several years of sedentary life in the equatorial waters would make it a fantastic base for a alge reef.
  22. RGL
    It’s a Chinese mob called Prostudio via Facebook
  23. RGL
    Superstructure dryfit
  24. RGL
    Degaussing cable added (not on the kit but was added in 1943)
  25. RGL
    I read on a blog from a diver on her wreck there were two zeros in her forward holds! I asked the bloke and he said the wings were off and obviously pretty rotted so I had to add them

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.
