    Part of the upgrade include a resin block to bend the PE bonnet with. I’m going to do this in 3 tone camo so it will also be a paint horse!
  2. RGL
    About 60%
  3. RGL
    Last vehicle I swear
  4. RGL
    Comes together really nicely, not glued yet pre paint
  5. RGL
    Engine, should paint up OK but I’m not sure if I’ll just leave the bonnet closed
  6. RGL
    They have grass like stuff in them. I do like them so far
  7. RGL

    Done and ready for paint.
  10. RGL
    Such a good looking aircraft

    It would be massive, but the stats, 1 tractor replaces 16 horses, a regiment needed 1444 horses consuming 14 ton of forage a day in comparison to 4 ton of fuel. If they made them I’d add these too!

    So my plan is to have a convoy of vehicles per se. I went down to the local Men’s Shed this afternoon and ordered a 1.5 m plank with beveled edges cut in half for storage. On this I will put the 2 tractors, the 6” gun, 2 different US trucks and a scout car. I have a heap of extras to throw in the truck trays to make it interesting.

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.
