    Yves, this will not happen. The metal will be clean. Fore torpedo tube.
  2. Valeriy V
    Thank you, Nils! Side keels.
  3. Valeriy V
    Yes, Nils. This model is not running, so the shafts will not rotate.
  4. Valeriy V
    Continued .. Installation of screw-steering complex.
  5. Valeriy V
    Marking and installation of propeller shafts.
  6. Valeriy V
    Popeye! I am doing my best... Polished on the hull is complete.
  7. Valeriy V
    Nils, I enjoyed looking at all your models. Your work is heartwarming. I especially liked the Pamirs!
  8. Valeriy V
    This is great, Greg. So there is another fan of the cruiser "Varyag"!

    Thank you, Nils. In the museum style there is now a photograph of a steam torpedo boat (1901) of 1:24 scale. In 2013, the boat was delivered to the UK https://www.modelboats.co.uk/news/article/the-2013-model-boat-convention/17134 . The text contains the name of the owner of the collection who now owns the boat.

    The hull is covered with a liquid putty for cars. Putty dries quickly. Ahead polishing hull.
  11. Valeriy V
    Thanks Yves. Continuation will be more interesting and more difficult.
  12. Valeriy V
    I am always happy to help.

    While the epoxy resin on the case dries out, I make parts of the screw-steering complex: - screw-propellers - propeller shafts - propeller shaft couplings - propeller shaft brackets I use soldering silver.

    3) The third reason is the style of model execution. This style implies the refusal to paint many details. They will either be polished or anodized.

    2) The second reason is manufacturability. Many parts can not be created from plastic so that they are copied to scale. For example such ...

    There are several reasons for this approach. 1) The first reason is durability. Plastic is an unstable chemical compound. It is destroyed by ultraviolet radiation, temperature extremes, mechanical forces, etc. Metal and wood models have been standing for more than 100 years.

    Hi, Heinrich der Seefanrier! Thank you for taking care of me! Almost all the photos from the Internet on Varyag I already have. Very few quality photos. This cruiser did not have time to shoot a lot of photos.
  18. Valeriy V
    Phil! Thank you for your help, from me and from Vladimir.
  19. Valeriy V
    Details will be very, very much.
  20. Valeriy V
    Further it will be more difficult.
  21. Valeriy V
    I am doing everything possible. Covering the case with fiberglass on epoxy resin, 3 layers.
  22. Valeriy V
    Grinding, spackling and hull preparation for bonding fiberglass.
  23. Valeriy V
    USS Oklahoma CIty and БПК Смелый could well meet in the Mediterranean in 1977-79.
  24. Valeriy V
    The construction of the model is not yet complete.
  25. Valeriy V
    If you see inaccuracies, report it, taking into account that this is a scale of 1: 200.

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.
