    Storm grey overspray and as a start, I’m happy.
  2. RGL
    So a base grey, than an hours sun with masking and ready for a top coat

    Oil canning; on my paint mule I thought I’d change the colour technique a bit and just use a light grey and a darker overspray. You can see the difference between the black and the grey. The lines are not straight but it’s about colour not accuracy on the mule.

    Looking good mate. So many opportunities for a large vessel like This, so complex!
  5. RGL
    What you see here is the remainder of the build minus the railings

    So a week away in Tasmania and I’m back at the bench. Got to do the Dawn service at Hobart for ANZAC day. A few coats of grey, and I’ve learnt my lesson, and no decals yet that won’t lift with the masking.

    Cool, a big bird farm. Welcome to the lunacy of lots of tiny planes

    Main mast redone and the topmasts more similar to the reference photos and very different to the US kit reference

    I remove the tape after primer coats, the tape would we way too thick this scale. The vertical lines are scribed in

    Welcome back!

    Final shots, on a base with a UK stamp about her of all things!

    https://micromaster.co.nz/collections/us-aircraft/1-700-scale Did you use these ?

    Lots done now. Time to strip the mast again
  17. RGL
    Apparently on her way back from the middle east to Singapore she nearly lost it (mast) It’s aluminium so I can’t cover the sins with Rust like I usually do.
  18. RGL
    I thought that I may as well keep buildings as opposed to painting yet. Lots of PE. The main mast is going to be stripped again as it’s not aligned properly I did manage to buy a VLS for the fore deck from a discontinued set second hand
  19. RGL
    These masts are a nightmare
  20. RGL
    What he said!
  21. RGL
    I think they are degaussing
  22. RGL
    Oysters to go
  23. RGL
    Lower hull pretty much done. I’ll eventually give it a bit more salt streaks once the hull is completely done. I gave it a wash of enamel green slime
  24. RGL
    Alge on the lower hull, sponged on the Mr Surfacer 1000
  25. RGL
    And it starts, lower hull base coat.

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.
