    So this arrived in the post today, pretty simple but impressive and will be a challenge to paint
  2. RGL
    So apparently it was this colour in 1945 and the lower hull was a grey colour
  3. RGL
    Getting my paint on, some panel lines and some etching. But of sanding to go yet.
  4. RGL
    The other option is but a 1/700 mast set and there are also the correct fittings available for them. Go to Hobbyeasy and have a dig around
  5. RGL
    Love it
  6. RGL
    That’s amazing and no way! Would not fit in the the place.
  7. RGL
    And done, I can’t swap the Y turret due to the canvas but so be it.
  8. RGL
    I just ordered one, won’t get to it this year but I have plans…..
  9. RGL
    I reckon one above it at a slight angle would look very nice
  10. RGL
    What does the gallery think about adding one of these floating above her?
  11. RGL
    Thanks Pat, I’ve gotten the base acrylics on now, next will be filters, washes, highlights and weathering.
  12. RGL
    I don’t think I’ll dig out the last one
  13. RGL
    So I got sent a new set of turrets for Zara. The detail is out of this world. Looks like I’m not finished yet…. mind you ill only use 3 as I’m not removing the canvas.

    Welcome back
  15. RGL
    Next, the black hole on the ship is what went where the forward torpedo tubes went. I’m going to speculate and put a ventilator here. I’ll put sun sail over it.
  16. RGL
    I’ve been informed by Rob Morrow the radars are a bit different so I’m going to alter them.
  17. RGL
    OC, you’ll notice the radar in one particular shot on that site has been censored. The uncensored shot and others show it.
  18. RGL
    I’m at a bit of a loss here, I’m not sure what goes where the radar (before that the search light) went apart from a metal bar as a Arial spreader.
  19. RGL
    The centre bandstand, the single 4” was replaced with a 20mm cannon
  20. RGL
    They were pretty heavily stayed by the look of them
  21. RGL
    Stacks and the modified mast of of 1945
  22. RGL
    Really nice details for 1/700! I don’t know if I could face another Yamato!
  23. RGL
    So with this in mind, version 2, I’ll use some foil across the frame
  24. RGL
    So my guru Rob Morrow who has been my guide for this build is of the opinion that the front shield under the apron is partitioned with metal on the bottom and canvas on the top. So a bit more surgery.
  25. RGL
    Added some details such as support struts and splinter mattresses. Not 100% sure on the breakwater configuration behind the hedgehog

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.
