I think it’s going to be about the same size as Vendetta. I’m wondering about doing some Tin canning on her was well.

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’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

I’d love to do one of these in 1/350 but the kit is insanely dear and nearly extinct. Should be good!

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 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

I can’t do aircraft at 1/350 yet alone half that. Well done.

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.
