    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.

    You can never find a pen when you need one

    Next should be a quick build of a resin 1/350 Bathurst class minesweeper by Pacific Crossroads. Nice PE, resin and this will be a OOB build.

    I’m seriously going to need a new cabinet soon and could not fit another carrier in there.

    So there we go, three USN Carriers done. Next I will have to decide on a few Aussie ships and a battleship later in the year.

    And into the digital graveyard

    Getting the rigging done, the kit comes with an excellent rigging guide (best I’ve ever seen ) and research states her call sign is November kilo yankee tango so teh falga match.

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

    Planes parked up.

    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.

    No mate, just back in the cupboard of doom I suppose

    So I entered my first ever Model competition this weekend with Seydlitz & Zeppelin. Did OK. Best in show and best ship and best ‘what if’ for Graf Zeppelin

    I think they are the seam lines on the wings were painted maybe as a weatherproofing as did transport last it’s the only thing that makes sense to me
  18. RGL
    Well done mate, great work
  19. RGL
    Along the wing? The darker paint ?
  20. RGL
    Finally, the aircraft finished
  21. RGL
    Looks good mate
  22. RGL
    Great to see you back @cog
  23. RGL

  24. RGL

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.
