    Ok, chipping done and a clear coat. Washes, mud etc next
  2. RGL
    So this is the practice piece, a couple of shades of blue (medium then light) and a blue filter. The tracks a mix of black and brown. I’ll leave it dry them a clear coat

    So the first one I got was crushed, so I’ve repaired it.

    The kit: very simple to build, beautiful track details as a one piece print

    A lovely little design from 1918, I first ordered this from Vargas models in the US and it arrived crushed due to poor packaging. A second one was send after some time (including another little gem which I’ll show). This design lost out to the FT-17 (upcoming build)
  9. RGL

    I have no idea, it was just a nice build
  13. RGL
    The 1/350 AE2, its tiny, I’ve added ringols on the side of the hull and deck plates. Holes have been drilled for the railings, and added hatches on the conning tower from spares. A rivet line has been added for the balance tanks. I’ve texted in some hull plates but will do it again in the primer coat.

    Bit of dry mud and dust

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.
