    A) your table is not messy b) it’s not a competition, we only challenge ourselves

    Nice work!!

    Amazingly quick build, the IJN did have some lovely ships
  4. RGL
    There may even be stencils available

    Mask it, there is a lot of detail on that deck

    I’m in, I recently read the history of this ship and have the Anatomy Of the Ship book for it.

    6 months at least to make it look good gents.

    Keep it up mate.

    Fantastic

    perfect surface on the hull for some chipping really plus lots of rust....

    Really tempted to build this but I have no skill whatsoever with solder, I’d have to use CA. You’re doing a great job so far. The hull plates really are quite quite large aren’t they will no rivets either! That would annoy the hell out of me. You seem to have it well in hand.

    So I'm flying along and discovered I'm missing a float. Can't progress until I find a replacement.

    Nothing lines up very well,this large scale stuff is hard!
  14. RGL
    Yep, it’s a 1972 mold OK, even with the additional PE (you pretty much can’t see any of it when closed up. Lots of putty will be needed yet

    It’s so strange working at this scale
  16. RGL
    A few photos, it looks lovely

    I haven’t built a plastic aircraft since about 1980, which matches when this kit was a re-box of a 1972 mold. It’s not that easy to find at a reasonable price (it cost about $30 with postage) plus a bit of PE as I can’t help myself as usual. its going to be nice to build something a bit bigger than usual scale and compared to HMAS Vendetta a bit less fat fingers I hope.

    So good
  19. RGL
    It’s a 1972 mold still! Apparently it was pretty useless but lovely lines
  20. RGL
    I seriously need to get a cabinet or give some away

    Thus ends the German phase; Graf Zeppelin, Seydlitz and Emden. Parked up in the digital graveyard. I live in hope they will make a USS Langley so I can build that as my third US ship, but I’m not really inspired by anything at the moment as anything I build I want to weather heavily as it’s fun. I’m really not a fan of doing that many aircraft again, so as a break I intend to do a couple of flying boats in ‘Shore Leave’. I haven’t built a plastic aircraft since the very early 1980’s.

    Aerials added, Ships crest, pretty much done. I’ll get some better images tomorrow when I have better light
  23. RGL
    On reflection I thought no, I wouldn’t.
  24. RGL
    More planes. 4 aerials to go. 7752FC30-2CC5-48C1-92A7-69C5EA8438AD.MOV

    Amazing build mate, it pops up when you Come back from work and I’m reminded of its excellence

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.
