    Next part of the build
  2. RGL
    I watched a Video on U-tube.
  3. RGL
    I did some 1/35 in the 1980’s really badly, airbrushes make a big difference
  4. RGL
    So I’ve bought a base for it, but pretty much done. Back to ships ….
  5. RGL
    So my first attempt at a figure this century. I’ll come back to it tomorrow to do some touch ups then a matte coat.
  6. RGL
    So I’m attempting a figure to go with the Camel, aka the jockey
  7. RGL
  8. RGL
    Cabin done with some 1/24 racing car seatbelts, canopy on (open), nearly done
  9. RGL
    Pretty much what Rik said. U-tube is better than a book really. There is a lot of MaK out there, but I didn’t want to paint a traditional one as they start to blend after a while, I wanted large and basic.
  10. RGL
    Back on the Camel (that looks like a chook). Most of the painting done.
  11. RGL
    Now the other 3 will be used for various experiments
  12. RGL
    So ultimately this is what I was going for
  13. RGL
    So a whole hull, masked AK salt added streaked green alge grey overspray
  14. RGL
    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
  15. RGL
    Now back to the subs, paint down on the other 3 subs. These three will be paint horses for hull weathering .
  16. RGL
    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
  17. RGL
    There is a KGV build on Britmodeller that’s is just excellent and does a better job than mine on the crane
  18. RGL
    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
  19. RGL
    It was a good day
  20. RGL
    It’s pretty good, 500 models, if you’re in the Facebooks it’s on ACTSMS , closes this afternoon
  21. RGL
    This weekends effort is our annual model show, 5 ships and a sub make a 28 k trip to the show
  22. RGL
    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
  23. RGL
    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.
  24. RGL
    Attempt 2. Too much red also came off the silver base so more to paint there too.
  25. RGL
    Never too late, I’m happy with the red and the blue bits, nothing is glued on yet

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.
