    Cool

    That looks great. Add some strips for rivet lines.

    That study is porn for married blokes

    Whoa! Back up the train! What’s the kit? Are you using aftermarket or Scratch? Tell us a story!! These big BB’s are a massive bit of plastic (the bride would kill me if I went this big, I’ve got too much 1/350 in extra PE).

    Only 16,000ks to Berlin from here

    A major part of the build is now done. There are 4 radio masts on the side which I can’t do until the planes are put on the flight deck. Armament and fittings now, then the aircraft. , 254B085D-3640-46BF-9249-63B44932D05F.MOV

    Kevin, there are several variants of denier rigging, Infini, Uschi etc. you just need to get different diameters, some are so thin you can hardly see them. I pretty much use CA glue for everything, using different quick or medium depending on the task.

    And there lies madness Yves with that level of detail......

    Deck railings done on the starboard side, as well as nets, ammo boxes on the deck plus some additional life rafts on the railings from North Star. Ship’s boats slung. Tomorrow I’ll do the port side.

    Well done mate, what’s next?
  12. RGL
    Thanks. the rigging is quite simple on this one.
  13. RGL
    If I could find them....
  14. RGL
    Very small ones mate! Me’s and Ju’s.

    Masts attached, then stuck on the hull.

    I’m in

    Thanks for the likes and comments folks. Back to the funnel and bridge a) throw it together b) paint it c) start to weather and rust so tomorrow I can start rusting and weathering the three masts, then rig it. Progress is OK so far

    Deck wind barriers. As dirty as the deck is, I added some different coloured brown planks at the arrestor cables, to represent what would be replaced at the arrester hooks. There will be a lot of planes on the deck. So busy the errors will be hidden I hope.

    Trails? Nets? They’re on the way
  20. RGL
    Back to the flight deck. Soot, rubber steaks, stains at the end of each plank. I’m going to have to use a very fine set of lines for tail hook strikes.

    I’m not an addict as I can stop whenever I want

    Masts, 2 days work.

    I am a fan of alternative history, but I generally see a really good PE upgrade set that inspires me. This is the third German ship so it was a good option as Bismarck and Tirpitz are done to death and no one can tell me I’m wrong as it was never operational (except @cog) so I can beat it up a lot. Thus post #1 which shows it’s only viable use in any timeline. Strangely enough a novel came out after I started my build that included her.

    H&S Infinity with a .15 needle and a .5 needle for big works. It’s an amazing tool.
  25. RGL
    Bridge and funnel thrown together, luckily it’s not glued as the funnel is on backwards. I only just noticed as the search light control room is on the wrong side. lots of little ladders for the side gantries

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.
