    Awning roping done. Now to practice how to do it!
  2. RGL
    They usually left them on, but the line that runs from the mast to the bow would be down for the aircraft being out, so it’s a matter of displaying all the elements so to speak
  3. RGL
    Only on the stern
  4. RGL
    Continuing with the awnings, I have to teach myself how to make the canvas out of cigarette paper now

    Around 100 plus Awning stanchions, I ran out of ones provided with the upgrade so used some I left over from Yamato

    Thanks Pat, starting on the awnings now

    Tamiya make a 2 rail set (out of steel and the best). Ship Yard Works also have it. Go to Hobbyeasy in HK is the easiest way or EBay. obviously some upper works were solid metal (French warships appear to have solid railings as well. Given the amount of work and handling needed the deck stanchions needed to be lowered. rigging 3 bar railings is a killer and you go through some drill bits

    So many hours later, railings done. I much prefer this method as it feels so much more realistic

    Ah, Jan, it’s not finished till it’s finished!! q2;
  10. RGL
    No it wasn’t, running the rigging will be worse

    There is actually a cover that slides off he top of the hangar, it appears to be a trolley and a larger canvas tarpaulin for the larger section (I intend to roll it up beside it. The other Dericks I think are for ships boats that were sometimes stored on the bow section now the railing stanchions. This is going to take a while
  12. RGL
    Thanks mate. the paravane chains and the deck davits rigged
  13. RGL
    This is off the original plans in the early 1930’s, I’m trying to figure out how the winch was drawn up.

    It’s run to the finish’s line now. It’s taken a week or so to get lots of little things done, but this is a great feature on the ship. the kit only comes with 1 plane so I bought a 6 pack of them, and the upgrade comes with PE for two. the anchor chains were added and a aftermarket set of anchors which are better than the kit blobs. Tomorrow I’ll rig this crane and do up some rigging for the paravanes, then I can do the individual stanchions
  16. RGL
    Metal origami!
  17. RGL
    Good chance
  18. RGL
    So I found some more open source photos on the facebooks
  19. RGL
    Ships boats are on. Still hate doing them.
  20. RGL
    Some simple rigging
  21. RGL
    Good looking ship and you can super detail it to a very high level.
  22. RGL
    Mast stepped, guns dry fitted. Tomorrow I can do the riggings and ships boats
  23. RGL
    Starting to look like a ship
  24. RGL
    replacement deck down
  25. RGL
    I don’t think you need my help!

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.
