    Awesome idea. I love it. I love the WW1 torpedo boats done like this.

    The lovely thing about this model is you just can’t hide your mistakes under paint like I do. As a builders model it’s fantastic.

    Now to tone and highlight, using AK Kriegsmarine filter. This stuff is incredibly strong so it needs a lot of diluting but it works well bringing out highlights. If you use it strait out of the bottle it splotches. I intend to do some pin washes next then some dry brushing to bring out the panels and ringols.

    Where do we find this micro tubing?

    It’s really nice to see an unpainted PE build.
  6. RGL
    All three colours done. Lots of little touch ups to go then some filters. Not ready for weathering yet. The hull is huge.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaand we’re off

    Roo meat is quite good really; considering we are probably the only nation to eat it’s coat of arms. There are sharks in Sydney Harbour so technically they live in cities.

    Kangaroos are dangerous up close, they’ll disembowel you. Number 1 cause of accidents outside of capital cities. As for the sharks.......

    I reckon it would be very beamy

    Google ‘drop bear’
  12. RGL
    @Canute is fierce? Must be because they have bears.

    Lots of masking and the first colour, grey in three shades.

    Infini, Uschi and EZ line, there is a lot of denier lives out there now.

    First black to cover up the barnacles then green then grey i can add some more grunge after the upper hull is painted.
  16. RGL
    She was somewhat demanding at 4.30am this morning..... anyways, oilcanning done and barnacles added have to let them dry for a while and black grey and green coats

    Things are slowing down due to work and a new commitment. A bit done on the lower hull, the panel lines have been preshaded and a couple of shades of hull brown added. Tomorrow I’ll get some oilcanning done. Whilst it looks rough now it will all blend in.

    The Anatomy Of the Ship Dreadnought shows you how the British did theirs.

    Welcome to the dark side

    Those throwers look great Cog.
  21. RGL
    Now I can throw it all together
  22. RGL
    Using Tamiya fine red primer (rattle can) I’ve only spotted a few faults that will need sanding. I can proceed with putting the rest of the hull togeather and the rest of the priming can be done with an airbrush
  23. RGL
    Other side done. I need another coat of primer before I go any further
  24. RGL
    So, new glue arrived and again I can start. Port side gussets added to the gantries, starboard side to go then I can prime.
  25. RGL
    I’m Going to use a lot of masking tape as it’s so bloody big!

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.
