    Base coat down

    The chipping looks good, make sure it’s on the facing bits like the bow and bilge keels
  3. RGL
    A couple of really cool photos

    I’m constantly stripping and cleaning my airbrush, and I do like their paints, which I think with Tamiya lacquer thinner. Acrylics dry the top very quickly so I also have a cotton bud dipped in clean thinner to while the tip regularly.

    So this is the rigging for the tail fin!

    So started to paint the blimp, so many panels, and so much more sanding needed, big seams and a lot sine shown up
  7. RGL
    What are you using? Airbrush and what type of paint?
  8. RGL
    It must be an iPhone thing

    and pretty much done. I’ll post the photos in the gallery
  13. RGL
    Railings added, nearly there. Life rings and Jack staffs to go.

    Back of the bus, bofors, lots of depth charge throwers and racks, individual stanchions.
  15. RGL
    Thanks mate, about 50% of the fit out done.
  16. RGL
    Time to throw it all together now.
  17. RGL
    Penciled in the panels, lots of paint required here
  18. RGL
    So, lots of sanding with more to go. Primer coat on, and trying to find a reference for the tail assembly rigging.
  19. RGL
    So glued together and a fair bit of filling will be needed as some idiot didn’t wait for some glue to set on the wooden block I put inside the hull for the brass rod. This will be placed in the back of the baseboard for Seydlitz
  20. RGL
    Yes it’s going to be a challenge but some good ideas thanks
  21. RGL
    Yes so it makes sense
  22. RGL
    50cms or so? I need to put a plug in the centre so I can put her on a brass stand. The gondolas are bloody precarious
  23. RGL
    Three main pieces, Fit is very nice
  24. RGL
    Because Australia post is a bit overwhelmed at the moment, I can’t finish Vendetta so I thought I’d make a start on the 1/350 Zeppelin, trying to figure out how to mount it
  25. RGL
    I like these two, a blue filter (German) and a neutral grey for greys. It works quite well.

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.
