    Here’s a hint https://www.facebook.com/share/v/TtD4FpgcH8SpwF24/?mibextid=TGkgF5

    This kit is a beauty! Lots of choice of decals and another rabbit hole to go down as I have a plan for a diorama
  13. RGL
    So all the big bits done. It’s so damn big!
  14. RGL
    And it end up like this with the ship glued in with the foam
  15. RGL
    So step by step, foam base grooved with a wave. primer (I suggest you use an acrylic so it does not melt the foam) DAS putty to make the waves then a simple black primer blue for the ocean with lighter blue near the crests of waves clear gloss coat over the top and some foam Sea foam and spume and a clear resin coat
  16. RGL
    Progress
  17. RGL
    And part 2, several days superdetailing parts
  18. RGL
    So this is the OOB kit. The next one will be super detailed as a final product
  19. RGL
    So these are my foam cutters. My intention will be to do a step by step tutorial
  20. RGL
    And the seascape progression
  21. RGL
    So apparently there were quite a few variants of this little ship so I have some flexibility. as I said I built the entire kit in 20 minutes then bought another one to do properly with spares and aftermarket
  22. RGL
    I bought this kit ages ago for when I needed a palate cleanser. So I got an aftermarket set (which is designed for a SSNModellbou kits it appears ) then parked it and pretty much forgot about it. I did pull it out once as I thought I’d make it as a sci-fi flying boat but saw the forgotten aftermarket set in the box and re parked it. Then I’ve been told again I’m presenting at our annual show so I asked online what people want and was told how to do seascapes. There are lots of I tube videos and about 7 ways of doing it but how to do it as a quick demo? So I used my foam cutter and make a progression of seascapes which will culminate in a complete model on a base in a sea. Now the kit! Not much to it. I built it in 20 minutes so I had a template to use.

    Lower hull, I still need to do some scribing but I’m also tossing up as to if I’ll put it in a resin base. anyways, the kit completely omits the fender which is on the stern. I glued two small strips of hardwood together and sanded it to shape. You can see from the white bits I’ve done a lot of putty so far.
  24. RGL
    Hull together, some big seam gaps fixed up. next will be to scribe in some hull welds ,
  25. RGL
    And in more modern times, in a camo (which I will not do)

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.
