    This is the only Aurora kit that I have ever built. It was a nice kit. There was very little flash and I didn’t have to do too much to make everything fit. There was only minimal filling and sanding to close gaps.

    One muddy tank: I’m calling it done! A quick and easy project.

    One base coated tank: I’m waiting on the glue to dry to mud it up and then it will go in a case
  25. GrandpaPhil
    Congratulations! Excellent work!

    I’m trying to go for the South Pacific paint scheme, which seemed to be based around a lighter green.

    I got an old Aurora Japanese Type 97 Medium Tank in 1:48 scale yesterday. I have never built an Aurora kit, or a Japanese tank, so.... I assembled it. The base coat is almost done, over a black primer coat.

    Excellent work!

    Ab Hoving pointed out in his card model tutorial that model rudders don't have to move. I took his suggestion and made the strapping out of painted card for the rudder on my Prince de Neufchatel and pinned it to the hull. It is good and secure, plus looks nice.

    Same for me. That’s also why I don’t typically do commission builds. Model building is supposed to be fun. I burn out very quickly when I have to build.
  32. GrandpaPhil
    Thanks for the likes and the comments. Fore Staysail and Inner Jib Sail are done!
  33. GrandpaPhil
    Yes, that’s the unfortunate part. I was looking at Taubman’s a while back. They have a plan set for the Langley. I thought about doing a POB scratch build of it. It is on my eventual to-build list. I’ve wanted one ever since I saw the model at the NAS Pensacola Museum. That would be an awesome build!

    Iron Shipwrights makes a resin USS Langley in 1/350 scale.

    Good Saturday evening! All square sails are done! I just have the fore staysail and three jib sails to go! I put a 12 inch (30 cm) ruler in for scale.

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.
