    So I have just discovered today this is what would really have been used as a tractor!!! How cool is this? I have to make it.

    SEcond last piece to the puzzle, working on the Bf109t’s

    The kettenrad was just horrible to build. The little Kubelwagon was a bit better. Torpedo and bomb trolleys, and the Stukas are done.
  5. RGL
    Very nice

    Reverse some masking tape and place them on that or use blue tack

    Great work mate

    This is a BF109. The panels are recessed as is the canopy. New trick, painted the canopy black with acrylic then gave it a green wash with Oils that bring up the metal parts are a brush is not thin enough. Then a light wash to bring out the panels. Next will be some light dry brushing to bring out some colour. Once thats sone on all of the aircraft I’ll add decals them weather

    Base coats done, now to weather

    This is where the H&S .15mm nozzle will come in handy.

    There is a special place in hell for me having to do this. MAsking and doing the camo up for the aircraft
  14. RGL
    Excellent

    For the first time I actually have a stash! Im hoping they release a USS Langley but I have two little kits I bought off e-bay to do in shore leave. Labs for me

    It seems fast but it’s not, it’s mainly production line work that appears to come together quickly at the end.

    Very nicely done Carl. The paintwork is wonderful
  18. RGL
    That would be a great model! I’m not going to transfer over to paper though... I was wondering how they would retrieve fliers if the landed in the sea (thus the Schnellboots) as you would not last long in the water up that end of the globe,

    Would’ve looked cool on the crane
  20. RGL
    Ouch alright. Somewhat insane. Would’ve been nice.
  21. RGL
    As discussed, the only option available for the correct seaplane

    Jan, there will be PE, but back to the paintbrush for the windows methinks. Bombs, torpedos, external fuel tanks, aerials and weathering.
  23. RGL
    People do more and more sea scapes now, and I think that even if perfected it, (the water that is) I would have to spend thousands on staffing the ship yet alone the space it would take. I’ve spent most of today doing up the air wings. The plans say to file off the cockpit and replace with PE, and it would require buying extra PE, and I’m not convinced I particularly like the look. As you you can see, the flight deck is going to be busy
  24. RGL
    No

    The Plastic evil is spreading! Junkers JU87c, folding wings and torpedos and the madness starts

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.
