Bell UH-1H Huey By lmagna - Dragon - 1/35 - PLASTIC
Edwardkenway replied to lmagna's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I agree very nice work. I like the surgical tape seat belt solution -
Thanks for dropping by everyone, this was supposed to be another kit build but lockdown has held up delivery so I found these card models online, so depending on how much longer I'm unable to go to work I've got enough of these to keep me going. So after a quick start I've slowed up making the wheels and suspension for the tracks. To be honest I'm finding it slightly difficult to cut holes neatly, but I get there. I've got 16 more wheels to make then I'll move on to the tracks. cheers 😊👍

To stop myself going stir crazy I've downloaded some free card model templates from Paper-replika.com. Watching Jack do his magic with the armour kits he has, I thought I would have a go at this Sherman got the main body done and now it's on to the tracks and turret As I said these are free, just need ink and some 220gsm card. Cheers

AH64 A Helicopter by kpnuts - Academy - 1/48 - PLASTIC

Despite the kits faults, you are making a nice job of it!! -
Hi, I went to my local library and basically printed them off at 75% of the 1:48 templates apart from the deck, profile and centre board which I had printed at John E Wright in Derby, again at 75%. I chose this scale as I plan to fully rig Triton. I hope this helps. I'll look forward to seeing your Triton builds. I will add I thoroughly enjoyed the cross section but if I did another it would be 1:48. Thanks for looking in. Cheers

Looking good so far, I would have to agree with the above comments about masking off the keel and stem, I didn't on Sherbourne although I did paint it.

The hull has been roughly faired and the gunport framing done, the frames for the stern were cut and placed(not glued). I traced the curve of the stern from the deck plans and transferred it to a piece of scrap which was the cut to shape, this was used as I fitted the stern parts to make sure that I had the correct curve. There was some more fairing done and hopefully I'm about there. I have to make the bollards and the stern filler pieces. Thanks for dropping by and the likes. Cheers

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.
