    The chipping is there but I covered it in dust. These things would have been filthy.

    Of note, the FT17 at our memorial didn’t have enough track tracks so they cast their own. It still has a bullet lodged in the radiator. My plan is to have it all ya hated open. The Meng kit first released was a full interior kit, which cost twice as much as the later release with no engine (I got it cheap still from China. I also have a French motorcycle from CSM and lots of figures

    Mandatory photo dump plus some form the Australian war memorial

    Next build, this will be a diorama, with a lovely resin kit from U-Models with a Meng FT 17 with full interior.

    I think this’ll do but I am open to suggestions

    Chipping and washes, there are 2 planks on the sides which I replaced with real wood. Next will be mud, when dry I’ll add dust. That should do maybe. I was then thinking if I could have it towing an artillery piece ?

    Looking good mate!

    Ok I’m rubbish at tracks, I used the Blast models upgrade which are very fragile and snap very easily. Will cover sins in mud.

    I didn’t even bother to do the machine gun and cannon bases, just glued them on. added the signal panel harness which I learnt from a German bloke on Utube and confirmed my reference photos. serendipity? I have after market tracks I bought for another kit which is wrong!
  12. RGL
    I just read that, I’ll just glue them straight onto the side panel as you can’t see inside anyways. I’ve got some tracks from Blast models which I’ll try as well

    I see Doc has also just started this kit. I was always planning on doing it after the little tanks so here we go! Blast models to really nice upgrades which I may use the tracks and stowage. I am about to do a series of French ww1 armour as I got this kit and a French Tank Carrier on FB Marketplace for steal. I them have some amazing German and English stuff to go.

    Done!

  16. RGL

    Mud ! Part 1, washes done, tomorrow I’ll make it dusty
  21. RGL
    Ok, chipping done and a clear coat. Washes, mud etc next
  22. RGL
    So this is the practice piece, a couple of shades of blue (medium then light) and a blue filter. The tracks a mix of black and brown. I’ll leave it dry them a clear coat
  23. RGL
    So the first one I got was crushed, so I’ve repaired it.
  24. RGL
    Well that set you all off!

    There is a video on U-tube of it from its tests in September 1918

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.
