    Well they were little rubber bands!
  2. RGL
    The ships boats and davits added

    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’ve spent a lot of $ there

    https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/category/SHP/20/1/maker/YXN.html" my bad, yx

    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.
  9. RGL
    Yes, apparently which flotilla and seniority
  10. RGL
    Mast added and rigged.
  11. RGL
    Bringing it all together
  12. RGL
    And finally the ships boats, I have no idea what colour they should be so I kinda made it up.
  13. RGL
    The steam winch! Really nice bit of kit.
  14. RGL
    Airbrush for the primer coat, airbrushed the black for the black bits or grey for the predominance grey then hand painting. Add a wash then dry brushing.
  15. RGL
    A few more bits and bobs, quad 50 cals, anchors and depth charges
  16. RGL
    Back in the tools, flota nets, carley floats, bollards, fairleads, smoke pits, ready use lockers and search/signal lights
  17. RGL
    No Eskimos in Oz!
  18. RGL
    I can only see a lot of the details with the magnifying glass. The depth charge throwers are a challenge to paint as the airbrush blows them away. I’ll keep Zulu tidy and beat up the Eskimo.
  19. RGL
    Yep that’s the pinch really, it’s going to be a very busy couple of ships by the time I’ve finished.
  20. RGL
    Bridge added
  21. RGL
    I’ve seen people put them on their ships painted with hairy sticks, unfortunately they are so detailed they only work with an airbrush. So the detail get lost. Different type of art really. I really enjoy PE still.
  22. RGL
    Rear superstructure, searchlights, quad Pom Pom, secondary bridge equipment ammo boxes t go.
  23. RGL
    3 I believe, the ships boats in the kit are Kriegsmarine
  24. RGL
    And the torpedo launchers done.
  25. RGL
    Rangefinder, director control tower and Funnels

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.
