    The main 8” guns painted, primer, dark grey, light grey then a medium grey overspray. A blue filter was then added over the top. Washes and weathering next.
  2. RGL
    I know your pain
  3. RGL
    Ok, I found it on the internets; where pray tell my learned friends, did you find it? looking for sources here....
  4. RGL

  5. RGL
    Yes, I had some left over from KGV

  11. RGL
    The Micromaster bits, the depth charge rack, and flota nets and the 36 inch search lights
  12. RGL
    A big brass Pom Pom
  13. RGL
    Superstructures weathered.
  14. RGL
    So a full day of masking, and the superstructures painted. Filters washes and weathering to go.
  15. RGL
    So, some chipping a and filters, faded the wooden deck parts
  16. RGL
    Deck grey, chipping to go. and some deck details being worked up
  17. RGL
    I’m far too disorganised to make a ‘how to’ build. I need to start writing lists to make sure I don’t forget bits. The Pontos set looks so good for this but it would be too big to park anywhere.

    thanks all but Unfortunately if it’s not weathered now it’s bland! moving along, the upper works, unpainted, primer; you can see my scratch built splinter mattresses with the details scratched in, came up OK so far, the first deck painted an old rust colour, I’ll give it some chipping fluid after I do a clear coat. These would have been busy areas with lots of foot traffic
  19. RGL
    Focsle base done, rusty chains and chain stoppers to sit on these yet.
  20. RGL
    Washes and a light spray of tan to make it look like the paint has been worn down with foot traffic working the decks
  21. RGL
    Now to work on the deck
  22. RGL
    So HMS Kent did a lot of Murmansk convoys. So I reckon lots of weathering
  23. RGL
    Filters and some grunge. I’m thinking I might do them as salt instead
  24. RGL
    Chipping/worn effects. Filters next then grunge then rust
  25. RGL
    Base camo coat done. Weathering next.

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.
