    So the final presentation with a real French victory medal
  2. RGL
    Well I got a wooden base made for her, a make plate from Sweden of all places about was cheaper than here (the site had a .au suffix so who knew, then a mate tells me it needed another figure
  3. RGL
    And the bridge pretty much complete
  4. RGL
    The grunging of the Shmel begins
  5. RGL
    The base coat on the bridge structure done. A clear coat and weathering next
  6. RGL
    Progress
  7. RGL
    The fly bridge and search light. The kit one is very very plain. I’ve also added some old speakers which a probably a little too big but when finished this kit is so massive it won’t matter
  8. RGL
    The one interior photo of the bridge i found
  9. RGL
    The bridge is a big open area you can look into and see nothing. There is plastic glass which is still clear and it needs some details . Using spare parts I did a window ledge and some details and eventually there will be two sailors inside also some water bottles and Voka bottles of course
  10. RGL
    Adding some wiring as per the reference photos

    Sorry, completely missed this. I got it from a mate who imports directly from Asia. I’d have a look at Hobbyeasy perhaps or the eBay’s hobbylink Japan have them in stock
  12. RGL
    So I’m going to go with the Ukrainian colours, so the upper works are white. Once it’s all painted I’ll then weather it heavily with grunge
  13. RGL
    Some of the deck features. I have them a red primer coat, then a clear coat. Next a layer of chipping fluid then a green coat. Rubbed it back now I with repeat with lighter shaders of green to make it look like it’s been repainted lots of times by some poor conscript.

    Done. Teh SMS super clear gloss melted the base coat a bit but that will do and a good learning exercise
  15. RGL

    Fuselage joined up

    It’s an easy build which I’ve added some details to the cockpit which is very bland.
  19. RGL
    I’ve seen these kits around and I love steampunk but not north of $250 Australian Pesos, so when one came up at $50 on FB marketplace I jumped. I’m trying to get the Tv series too.
  20. RGL
    As I loved this kit so much I also built a CocaCola delivery van from Berlin in the late 1930’s. The decal work was not my best but a learning experience
  21. RGL
    And done!
  22. RGL
    Bought a little plaster base and some dio stuff
  23. RGL
    And that’s the set
  24. RGL

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.
