    Back to the stables. Salt streaking. first in places I have tried some aK Salk streaks on their own. then airbrushed some diluted white and salty streaks over the top

    Now back to the subs, paint down on the other 3 subs. These three will be paint horses for hull weathering .

    It will teach me to check my work! Proves the judges are honest too. We’ve come a long way from our telephone calls all those years ago

    There is a KGV build on Britmodeller that’s is just excellent and does a better job than mine on the crane

    It has sponsorship, part of the prize is an airbrush for the masochist award. I was n best in show last one for the Seydlitz. The bloke who won it yesterday is recognised as world standard so I’m pretty happy to make the big end of the comp. I missed out on 1st for best ship as I forgot to paint the steering wheels on the jeep on the deck of Thetis bay. Meh. The U-9 won best sub

    It’s pretty good, 500 models, if you’re in the Facebooks it’s on ACTSMS , closes this afternoon

    This weekends effort is our annual model show, 5 ships and a sub make a 28 k trip to the show

    Thought I’d try and finsh one whilst I was waiting for some paint in the mail. HMAS Collins, a day in the paint shop, just need to weather it now

    So, small problem, I400 was not operational until 10 months after the Heinan Maru was sunk. Lucky I have 2 others but this one goes back in its box for later.

    Attempt 2. Too much red also came off the silver base so more to paint there too.
  12. RGL
    Never too late, I’m happy with the red and the blue bits, nothing is glued on yet
  13. RGL
    So this is where I’m at. The base coat is pretty much done sans decals and weathering. The white is not doing it for me.

    50 Euro for what appears to be the same set

    Painting in some metal panels. I did an aluminium base, then several shades of red worn back with chipping fluid. I then have it a red filter. It looks filthy which I’m pretty happy with. I’ll give it a satin coat next before masking for the next lot of panels in another colour.

    I have a set of plans in German in 1/200, they are are rare as hens teeth.

    Ron Morrow at HMAS in scale on FB would be a good reference too, he’s pretty much the expert for Oz ships

    The fighting cabin, just need to add seatbelts
  20. RGL
    Carry on! Be good to see your progress
  21. RGL
    Have you looked at Profile Morskie for plans? paints, don’t worry about them, just use acrylics and mix to get a close enough. the 3D parts are all amazing g but unless you use an airbrush don’t bother as you will lose the detail using a hairy stick.
  22. RGL
    Not even planning on at the moment, I have about 3 future projects booked sorry
  23. RGL
    There’s a guy on the HMAS group on FB that has done one. Look forward to seeing this.
  24. RGL
    Big!!!

    Something completely different, a massive alternative kit from the 1980’s. Don’t need much glue but does need some putty so far.

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.
