    I must say i agree. I see some parts are soo small that the glue used (even thin glue) would be bigger than the piece itself thus making it pointless. BUT PE is your friend.
  2. RGL
    Catalinas decals added and a dry brush. Next will be weathering .
  3. RGL
    Greatest generation for sure
  4. RGL
    Yes, that would have been an Aussie one. The little resin kits either lack details on the wings and Hull or the molds have degreased too much. so after 2 hours of masking the underside, and a few shades of grey and a bit of weathering, I can let it set until I can give a clear coat and put decals on.
  5. RGL
    The Catalinas. It appears from my research they were almost black, I just can’t confirm if they had the US stars on the wings.
  6. RGL
    You’ll be fine!
  7. RGL
    Thanks but I kinda hit a limit with what’s available. The kingfishers done.
  8. RGL
    I’ve done the seagulls up, also some little trollies for them to go on deck. I’ll only need maybe 2 or three of these so I’ll use the least crap as I’m rubbish at these horrible hard plastic kits.
  9. RGL
    a really cool shot of a Seagull
  10. RGL
    Be cool to add them both….. yes, I thought I’d finally do some people …. As to the Kingfishers, if you zoom in on the photos from Darwin Harbour she had some on the flight deck. As well as Catalinas near her.

    Decals added, lots of Microsol but I think as they are quite old they done like sticking down.
  12. RGL
    I’ve been asking for some decent 3D splinter mattresses, every WW2 RN warship had them.
  13. RGL
    New release from Micromaster which hopefully I should get a set of in a few weeks. Insane level of detail
  14. RGL
    I want them to end up a bit like this but quite difficult at this scale with my skill set
  15. RGL
    Started on the aircraft painting, not easy. A few shades of blue, decals then weathering to go.
  16. RGL
    I have always had to wait three months from there, the last time it took 2 months to leave their own country! They have nice stuff but using a horse and cart as UPS
  17. RGL
    So 11 weeks in the post
  18. RGL
    Nice work mate
  19. RGL
    I’ve added the ship to the base, all it really needs now will be the lines . I’ve done a deep blue as a base for the seaplanes and a navy blue for the Catalinas base coat and a Green for the Japanese aircraft.
  20. RGL
    A couple of launches from Black Cat models.
  21. RGL
    Lots of dandyfunk coming togeather now. The ships secondary guns and 50 cals for the bridge
  22. RGL
    Nice repair job!
  23. RGL
    Almost like to build a big one!!!!
  24. RGL
    Second to last paint cue. Some lovely aftermarket ships boats from Black cat and the shops guns are also on a slow boat from France as I decided the kit ones were just not good enough.
  25. RGL
    I don’t know yet but I had to have it. I actually bought sone really nice US seaplanes from Veryfire which, upon research, we’re not invented until late 1942!

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.
