    These were such cool looking ships class of destroyer built for the French Navy between 1905 and 1908. It was built on French shipyards: Rochefort 9, Le Havre 1 and Toulon 3, for a total of 13 units. The thirteen ships were used during the First World War. They bear the names of historical infantry weapons: Quiver, Claymore, Hatchet, Cutlass, Foil, Ax, Mace, Mortar, Howitzer, Pierrier, Stylus, Trident, Blunderbuss. Thus the list in French; Carquois Claymore Cognée Coutelas Fleuret Hache Massue Mortier Obusier Pierrer Stylet Trident Tromblon

    I saw this online and just had to get it, a beautiful little kit that has the best packaging I’ve ever seen.

    I’m going to have to pause this build log for a while as the Micromaster remaining pieces are not yet ready. I’m going to have a little interlude mind you. I now have a bit of. Stash, 2 Vendettas and a Langley AV-3 if anyone is keen for a joint build but this is next

    That’s deep OC

  6. RGL
    Railings added, nearly finished just awaiting the quad and single Pom Poms IMG_6354.MOV

    I’d love to do one of these in 1/350 but the kit is insanely dear and nearly extinct. Should be good!
  8. RGL
    focsle done, props popped on
  9. RGL
    The ready use shells came up OK
  10. RGL
    Yes, just various diameter denier lines
  11. RGL
    Well they were little rubber bands!
  12. RGL
    The ships boats and davits added

    Every RN Destroyer has ready use shells alongside the deck guns held in little racks. You can also see the little hatches on the deck which I’ll add later as they are were the removable chimney stacks go. not perfect and bloody fiddly, I utalise some ringols (I have a lot spare) and plastic stop and Rod (files to a point).

    One of the really nice things about Simon’s upgrade is the details for the forcastle deck, replacing the bollards, winch, chain pipes and a piece for the bow ropes. The chain is 3D printed YX models for 1/700 ships.

    I’ve spent a lot of $ there

    I got myself some 3D printed chains (XY models). Top one is 1/350 and bottom is 1/700 which is perfect for this size ship. When you see massive chains on a small ship it looks all sorts of wrong. I have to replace the pipes an add chain stoppers yet. As you can see fro. The. A Asian museum ship the chain needs to be a lot smaller
  18. RGL
    I can’t do aircraft at 1/350 yet alone half that. Well done.
  19. RGL
    Yes, apparently which flotilla and seniority
  20. RGL
    Mast added and rigged.
  21. RGL
    Bringing it all together
  22. RGL
    And finally the ships boats, I have no idea what colour they should be so I kinda made it up.
  23. RGL
    The steam winch! Really nice bit of kit.
  24. RGL
    Airbrush for the primer coat, airbrushed the black for the black bits or grey for the predominance grey then hand painting. Add a wash then dry brushing.
  25. RGL
    A few more bits and bobs, quad 50 cals, anchors and depth charges

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.
