    Morskie does not do the panel lines, remember it does not have to be perfect, just do them along the deck levels, a few coats with a mask are enough, if you go into the 3D shading, filters and weathering such as chipping or wearing the paint off between the panels it becomes more important. Unfortunately once you start down this rabbit hole to madness you can’t stop

    Sorry, I usually Google the name of the Ship “in drydock” as they are great references as they show the hull details really well.
  3. RGL
    So they basically run along these lines, they are not as obviously as in the drawings but they are there when you look very closely at a hull. A smooth hull does not really exist.

    I got the PE set for her and the kit for $100 off FB. I’m in no rush to build her, I have a complete set of upgrades for the Z-25 and will do a complete make over for the Zulu

    Rattle can primer and Tamiya masking tape to do you hull plating. Take your time, multiple layers, etch in the vertical lines . Paper would still be too think at this scale.
  6. RGL
    So I now have a stash
  7. RGL
    And complete
  8. RGL
    Nearly done, rigging done, superstructures glued down; railings and hullweathering to go.
  9. RGL
    I’m in.
  10. RGL
    Focsle done
  11. RGL
    The deck details are almost done, I need to do up the hawsers next and weather the focsle,
  12. RGL
    So I added wring for the rear deck lights, then a fire hose and extinguisher. The railing have taken me hours, primer, black for the wires the silver for rehire turnbuckles and touch ups to go.
  13. RGL
    So a bit of pre rigging
  14. RGL
    I thought I was doing OK until I saw the rigging on this photo.
  15. RGL
    All good, I’m not that fussed, already have a Lynx to park there. I should finished her this week.
  16. RGL
    No type 45 for me at the moment mate, and unfortunately the link for the Merlin is the same one as they already make and I have but thanks for trying
  17. RGL
    Maybe one day I’ll find a use for them
  18. RGL
    Yep. Same aircraft. I bought a set. One of the three is what you see on the back deck. It’s about 1/300 not 1/350 unfortunately.
  19. RGL
    So the kit comes with a Lynx helicopter and the upgrade has some nice upgrade bits. I wanted to try some other options so got a Merlin set and PE for it. Bad news is it is WAY out of scale and does not fit in the hangar. So be it.
  20. RGL
    No idea, they are removed on the upgraded ones
  21. RGL
    Like everyone else, I dream of the day they make it in 1/350. Looking good
  22. RGL
    Av3
  23. RGL
    Oh, you could try something smaller like Langley....OC is in.....maybe the eagle too?
  24. RGL
    Once you’re into the PE you can’t go back.....
  25. RGL
    So a few cool action shots from the rear section, the torpedo launchers 766B07F0-8338-4212-ACE8-67CC6EE49A8F.webp

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.
