    The bottom has been closed up (mostly). Most gaps are filled. It’s a Revell kit, so there was plenty of fitting and plenty of gaps left over. It looks really rough right now. That will change once a temporary base is made and the model gets its first coat of paint.

    I had the Chevalier Bayard by Imrie Risley. It was very nice.

    Denis, I watched your builds. They were incredible. This is my second B-25. The first was a Guillows kit. Tonight, I trimmed up the mold lines and filled the gaps with putty.

    Very nice!

    PS - this model is getting finished!

    The Hannah is done. That makes a total of 2 scratch built ships that I have made. I am over half completed on a 1/48 B-25 (plastic kit with custom paint job and markings). I started it yesterday once I decided that I had finished the Hannah. Being a plastic kit, that should only need one more good weekend to complete and then game on for the Victory.

    The interior is painted: All major subassemblies are now in place:
  24. GrandpaPhil
    The interior is base coated an olive drab: The engines are painted with faux metallics and installed: Time for the detail painting and highlighting! Then it’ll be time to assemble most of the model!

    Welcome all! Thank you very much for stopping by! Currently working on deciding build order and painting order. Most of the interior will not be visible, but enough will that I am taking care to get it as right as possible (I test fitted all major assemblies). I learned to paint by wargaming many years ago. So, I usually start by painting everything black to give the model depth, especially in interior sections. Then I paint from the inside out, although there is much drybrushing as normal painting going on.

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.
