    I’ve added cleats to the tracks, then weathering and dust with pigments. I can now do the top side
  2. RGL
    Pretty much done now, I need to add some more d rings and chains but not until I lash it to the rear of the Carrier.
  3. RGL
    Chipping done, everything glued down, washes next
  4. RGL
    A resin piece for the stern ramp and side tool box and jack from blast models in France
  5. RGL
    And that’s the base coat down
  6. RGL
    Ok, normal service has resumed
  7. RGL
    Ok, back to normal programming soon
  8. RGL
    Weathering started
  9. RGL
    It ended up being a stopgap propaganda tool. Made for a movie in 1916.
  10. RGL
    Ok, got distracted by a little side project
  11. RGL
    Nearly ready for paint
  12. RGL
    So why bother?
  13. RGL
    Closing up the tank now
  14. RGL
    Internal weathering started up. Once this sets I can do a bit more tomorrow night
  15. RGL
    Bottom done, clear coat and enamels next
  16. RGL
    Engine done, once I get the other bits in I’ll do some weathering : all of them seem to have conflicting colours, but the kit (even the big 1/16 kit) omits the spark plus and leads so that bit was easy.
  17. RGL
    Time for paint
  18. RGL
    So far? Mayo brown, then buff overspray, clear coat, layers of enamel washes. I’m not happy yet but when I get the top side stuff glued on including the railings and the tank I can go to work on it properly. There’s going to be a tank and a motorcycle on it
  19. RGL
    I’m waiting for a cleats that go on the tracks, and considering it’s under the vehicle there’s. I point gluing anything down yet. So. The Tank that goes on top, interior detail set,resin luggage set and front wheels.
  20. RGL
    Now the back deck, multiple enamel washes. I’ll work this a lot more before I’m finished with pigments
  21. RGL
    Bit of weathering on the driving bits
  22. RGL
    Ok! Base coat down. Clear coat next.
  23. RGL
    Tracks on!
  24. RGL
    Lower part of the vehicle worked on today so I can mask it off and do the upper works. There are not enough track links for the entire length but I still drilled out and pinned the bent pieces of tracks.
  25. RGL
    Now if I could just find this book….

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.
