    And some weathering
  2. RGL
    Redone. I’m happier now.
  3. RGL
    And it starts again
  4. RGL
    Nup, not happy, I’m going to remark and make the pale grey much lighter.
  5. RGL
    Base coat of the splinter camo done. Filters next.

    I think Pontos and Infini give Flyhawk a run for their money as they probably a generation ahead of them. As to 3D, it’s a new art; I won’t get into it as I couldn’t draw anything and I’m happy for others to do the heavy lifting

    So this afternoon’s work!
  8. RGL
    So I’ll take the dogs for a walk then start masking the whole deck again and all the dark blue bits.
  9. RGL
    Fixing the bleeding
  10. RGL
    Painting the bow, white, dark red, red then pink. I need to finish off the bleed through, then completely re mask the whole thing
  11. RGL
    I got rid of the rug in my study so finding stuff became a lot easier as the broom sweeps it all into one pile for searching, sot searching all the pile
  12. RGL
    3D and PE are very different creatures, Flyhawk does great PE to a point but the complexity is somewhat a different level
  13. RGL
    Centre deck blue. navy blue field blue medium blue light blue blue panzer filter looks really nice. Red and white stripes next on the bow
  14. RGL
    I think that’s the thing, if you’re only going to build it once give it your best attempt before it gets parked on a shelf and never seen again.
  15. RGL
    Cannone da 381/50 Ansaldo M1934 (The big guns)
  16. RGL
    Secondary battery
  17. RGL
    90mm anti air guns (the light Grey is the kit one)
  18. RGL
    Ventilations and ammo boxes
  19. RGL
    Life rafts, kit v printed
  20. RGL
    Port hole scuttles
  21. RGL
    Propellers!
  22. RGL
    So today the Micromaster fit out. Who’s interested?
  23. RGL
    The painting cue. Got the first primer coat done. Now I can start on the decks.
  24. RGL
    Now it may not seem like much, but I’ll filled in the massive hull plates that a person would be able to stand on and also drilled out the amidships portholes which will have porthole covers open if they can ever clear the airlines at Sydney airport. Once I be done the deck (next painting job), I can do the splinter camo scheme on the hull and superstructures that should blend it in nicely.

    Looking great

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.
