    New release from Micromaster which hopefully I should get a set of in a few weeks. Insane level of detail
  2. RGL
    I want them to end up a bit like this but quite difficult at this scale with my skill set

    Started on the aircraft painting, not easy. A few shades of blue, decals then weathering to go.

    I have always had to wait three months from there, the last time it took 2 months to leave their own country! They have nice stuff but using a horse and cart as UPS
  5. RGL
    So 11 weeks in the post

    Nice work mate

    I’ve added the ship to the base, all it really needs now will be the lines . I’ve done a deep blue as a base for the seaplanes and a navy blue for the Catalinas base coat and a Green for the Japanese aircraft.

    A couple of launches from Black Cat models.

    Nice repair job!
  11. RGL
    Almost like to build a big one!!!!

    Second to last paint cue. Some lovely aftermarket ships boats from Black cat and the shops guns are also on a slow boat from France as I decided the kit ones were just not good enough.

    I don’t know yet but I had to have it. I actually bought sone really nice US seaplanes from Veryfire which, upon research, we’re not invented until late 1942!

    Damn that looks good. Depending on how far you wish to send yourself broke, Micromaster has just brought out their guns!
  16. RGL
    It is the most beautiful aircraft kit in 1/350 ever
  17. RGL
    Last one
  18. RGL
    Catalinas done
  19. RGL
    Yes, I won’t use them all, just the pick of a poor bunch I expect
  20. RGL
    Next from France, a couple of Catalinas
  21. RGL
    So I bought a Trumpeter 6 pack of Kingfishers, and added PE from spare parts. I really don’t like the little kits are they are very basic and misaligned but so be it.
  22. RGL
    Next part of the build is the Kingfisher
  23. RGL
    It’s like having my own Google! Thanks folks
  24. RGL
    Now I’m sure the Yanks would know, when did the USAAF stop using the Star with the red dot in the middle ?
  25. RGL
    The first of the 4 types of aircraft I’ll use on Thai build, as you can imagine I have quite a stash of spares in Pe, so firstly the Curtis Seagull, one as a trial to see how it looks then the first trial using some pe and brass rods

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.
