  1. RGL
    And part 3
  2. RGL
    Pretty much done, flywheels and belts will be added after painting
  3. RGL
    Big bits on the thresher done
  4. RGL
    There appear to be many iterations of these but they are cool and a massive OH&S risk!
  5. RGL
    Now for something completely different, a stable engine and a thresher. Nice little resin kits
  6. RGL
    Aaaand done!!
  7. RGL
    Awesome job!
  8. RGL
    Weapons added, bombs and air brakes to go.

  10. RGL
    About half way through the base coat
  11. RGL
    So good progress today, exhausts done, the yello finished and my first Ork!
  12. RGL
    Primer coat down. Again it’s nice working in a large scale. Found a few gaps that need fixing before I progress
  13. RGL
    I’d build that for sure
  14. RGL
    Heaps of build options, I was never aware but this genre is MASSIVE! Some of the painting I saw in Malcom this year was out of this world good. some really big mold seams to get rid of but very well designed to hide most of them. After 3 sessions I’m ready for paint
  15. RGL
    Don’t really know how to label this, I am not into Warhammer but this looked fun. I bout my adult son one then decided why not. Great detail, great fit, unlimited imagination. Should be fun to paint
  16. RGL
    Great stuff, no one else is building her at the moment that I can find
  17. RGL
    Grunge & rust, just need a clear coat tomorrow. The two figures in the background will be in the cabin
  18. RGL
    So as a distraction I’ve painted up all the nuclear waste drums that will be under the Shmel in the seascape. Weathering to go and I’ll have them on the sea floor in radioactive mud so the paintwork does not need to be perfect
  19. RGL
    So the final presentation with a real French victory medal
  20. RGL
    Well I got a wooden base made for her, a make plate from Sweden of all places about was cheaper than here (the site had a .au suffix so who knew, then a mate tells me it needed another figure
  21. RGL
    And the bridge pretty much complete
  22. RGL
    The grunging of the Shmel begins
  23. RGL
    The base coat on the bridge structure done. A clear coat and weathering next
  24. RGL
    Progress
  25. RGL
    The fly bridge and search light. The kit one is very very plain. I’ve also added some old speakers which a probably a little too big but when finished this kit is so massive it won’t matter

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.
