I needed a break. Opened the box and so few parts! No aftermarket For this one as it’ll be pretty crap but I need a cleanser. Luckily I bought up on Infini models sanding paper. I also seem to have lost a propeller! Just missing completely . -

The deck, dark grey base then two lighter shades to represent paint fade. Then a brown overspray to represent worn down to metal. I have a tan overspray on the wooden deck. My plan is to do some filters and some paint chips and washes. as you can see pretty much everything else is the paint cue, which will make it easy to finish.

The hull is a pain to fix at the waterline. I’ve scribed in the hull plates and I think I’ll grunge up the lower hull below the boot strap.

The two part hull which does not match up is a pain, meaning I have to redo the hull plates, everything else will be paint and plant.

Truthfully no, I actually like the ability to move it if I have to, this stuff is paper thin and fragile

A gloss coat works better. No idea why. Glue is problematic as it’s hard to get a good even spread so just put out spot fires where needed using a metal shim and CA

Oh it’s popped up in several places, change in temperature here to the mid 30’s. I forgot to gloss coat the flight deck under it first. I’ve already re glued it

I’m in the process of adding the life rafts. These sit along the gantries, the PE set gives you netting which runs purportedly along the railings but the reference photos show them at 45 degrees with a railing running along the top and the liferafts lashed to them. Also the ends of the flight decks are starting to lift as we have had a spate of unusual humidity.

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.
