    Starting on the cargo holds. From stern to bow
  5. RGL
    Strange to hear your voice after all these years! I thought of the foam for chipping as well as soon as I saw it
  6. RGL
    Bit of cargo to fill in the holes
  7. RGL
    So plastic card
  8. RGL
    Now the cargo holds. I could find no images or diagrams from this type of ship but I imagine they are all pretty much the same.
  9. RGL
    Cargo holds cut open, next is to fabricate the actual holds and fill them with cargo
  10. RGL
    Now to open up all the cargo holds
  11. RGL
    So I bought a base and painted it, this is the final result. No where near the standard of the people who do them all the time but different.
  12. RGL
    Holes drilled, working base set, dry fit of the hull is perfect. I’ve cut out the hatches on the side of the ship as I will have gangways running down both sides.
  13. RGL
    And it starts, drilling out port holes in 4 different diameters
  14. RGL
    CA all the way! Looks good mate

    Part 3 of this build
  18. RGL
    Awnings and laundry added
  19. RGL
    Bugger!!!! I finished mine some time ago, I once sneezed a mouthful of black coffee over a battle ship
  20. RGL
    Now Sub 2, getting there
  21. RGL
    So I’ve finally got a bit of time to finish the framing, I’ll do a smaller one on the other sub then use cigarette paper like in the Zara
  22. RGL
    Now the detail work, stores, rigging and starting to rig the shade awnings
  23. RGL

    So looking at the old B&W images of IJN Subs, they were filthy things. So many images cover the big I400 class, and the older subs in 1/350 are not available anywhere in the world at a sensible price. My intention is to have one loading a torpedo, and lots of activity on the deck that one would expect for a replenishment operation.
  25. RGL
    Bridges added, so I reckon I’m about 70% done now, I need to add guns, cranes, railings, tarps and figures

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.
