    So, lots of sanding with more to go. Primer coat on, and trying to find a reference for the tail assembly rigging.
  2. RGL
    So glued together and a fair bit of filling will be needed as some idiot didn’t wait for some glue to set on the wooden block I put inside the hull for the brass rod. This will be placed in the back of the baseboard for Seydlitz

    Yes it’s going to be a challenge but some good ideas thanks
  4. RGL
    Yes so it makes sense
  5. RGL
    50cms or so? I need to put a plug in the centre so I can put her on a brass stand. The gondolas are bloody precarious
  6. RGL
    Three main pieces, Fit is very nice

    Because Australia post is a bit overwhelmed at the moment, I can’t finish Vendetta so I thought I’d make a start on the 1/350 Zeppelin, trying to figure out how to mount it
  8. RGL
    I like these two, a blue filter (German) and a neutral grey for greys. It works quite well.

    Whilst the shopfronts are usually franchises, I think they need to concentrate on delivery, but what would I know
  10. RGL
    It’s in the cue, I bought a $20 submarine, a blimp and a new bird farm on the way as a major build; Australia Post is killing me at the moment awaiting final pieces for this build

    So this arrived today
  12. RGL
    Nice nice nice nice, well put together and painted. Can I suggest using a filter to bring out your paintwork?
  13. RGL
    Hull grunge and rust, I reckon that will do
  14. RGL
    Really nice work, the detail is fantastic at this scale
  15. RGL
    I’ve added a blue filter, then a green slime for the lower hull (alge) some brown chipping and some salt on the waterline. Streakings of rust and grunge whe it all dries .
  16. RGL
    Yes I understand what you’re saying, I’ve pretty much gone off the painting guide for the ship, I played around with it before I painted her and when I went higher it seemed odd from the original photos
  17. RGL
    Gloss, decals, matte
  18. RGL
    Blue hull done. I’ll do some filters then decals then fade it out
  19. RGL
    You make this look easy
  20. RGL
    Deck base done
  21. RGL
    Spraying in the ribs, a medium grey then a medium grey overspray to dull it out
  22. RGL
    Boot strap added, then masked and a dark grey lower hull as a base coat.
  23. RGL
    So this arrived in the post today, pretty simple but impressive and will be a challenge to paint
  24. RGL
    So apparently it was this colour in 1945 and the lower hull was a grey colour
  25. RGL
    Getting my paint on, some panel lines and some etching. But of sanding to go 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.
