Looks amazing. Yes the chain is waaay too big. In 1/700 the YX chain would be too big as well as they’re pretty much battleship chains. I’d just use the pe ones painted dark blue and dry brush Dark brown then a rust wash.

A good set of micro files? A nice set of U-Star Tweezers if you’re going to do PE. If you are going to use PE use superglue, a box of acupuncture needles to apply CA glue and a cigarette lighter to burn off CA build up

For a drill get a Pin vise, don’t use a Dremel or it will melt. The list of tools is never ending.

I’ve hit middle age eyes in the last few years. Live the optivisor and can’t imagine going to 1/700. So brave!!!

Now on the base. I’m going to add the rigging points and metal platforms next then I can start rusting her up. I did a grey overspray on the lower hull to represent a build up of grunge.

The propellers, the instructions state to add some shafts then onto flat PE Propellors that would be free floating. using a brass bollard and offcut pe I’ve made some support struts . I added a brass spinner from a 1/350 aircraft propeller to the end of the PE props to make them look more authentic. ive made a start on the PE structures whilst I was awaiting the pain to dry.

Chris Meddings, the maker of the kit sent me his line drawings. Lots of extra details to add now in particular to the focsle. Lots of little holes to drill and add rigging points for the anchor chain, add a anchor Davit on each side and a fairlead.

So the kit comes with a little stencil for the ship name (TR for Trident). the boot stripe is about 2mm so it’s taken a bit of work to get it right. Now for some weathering. I put in hull plates but they’re hard to see.

That’s what a Jamie from Sovereign Hobbies says too. Unfortunately it’s the same for KGV which I refuse to repaint

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.
