    wasn't it the Tirpitz ...? Yes she had twice five tubes, ordered them already since the kit has only quadruple tubes. Told you it's a fun build ... I get to order additional parts, or make them myself I, actually, would like a larger picture please, my eyesight is fading - matter of getting older
  2. cog
    We are having the same kind of loss nowadays print, wood construction, actually to much to mention
  3. cog
    Seems they grow too in Australia ... odd species
  4. cog
    Thanks Steven, the part I'm most interested in is between focsle and the raised aft gun deck, which seems to be badly visible most/all of the time, or the images are small/tiny. These are actually not to bad!

    What's there to teach to the master of weathering and ageing ...
  6. cog
    Untill they start tossing around stuffed bunies

    I'm dumb struck by your praise ... paralysed, unable to move ... HMS Glowworm has no camouflage, she is painted like I did HMAS Vendetta - easy on the weathering(?) - I'm still rebuilding structures on her, but I'll might just start on painting the hull, since the deck and superstructures get a whole different colour anyway
  8. cog
    Come to think of it: You might have been facing each other across the model ...

    Turning HMS Greyhound into a sub?

    Thanks for the likes, gents, and the positive feedback, and naturally for "The new look on Japanese cooking, an Anglo/American twist"

    He said he'll inform us in due time ... whatever that means ... Mark Tailor? Look who's talking, found a picture of RGL ... an image says more than a thousand words ...

    No Lou, the hull is the same, but for the deck furniture. I found a kit for a G class (Eskimo which has the same setup as the Huron) O, by the way the sprues on this kit I'm building have Eskimo stamped on it ... how a bout an Tribal H class destroyer called Eskimo ... !?!?!?!?!?

    Todays harvest: Shortened the bridge by 1cm / 2/5"you can still see the original size on the deck. The radar will be removed and replaced by a rangefinder and controller. The wings of the deck where the bridge is mounted have been removed as have the boarding. There is a tiny bit left which turns in roundly. I'll have to reinstall the boarding - get some thinner plastic for that, maybe I've got something in my stash. As you can see the aft raised gun deck has been shortened by quite a bit, added some structural beams for the look of it. I'll do the same with the forward overhang. Ordered some more 3D (Greg at € 6 shipping ... life's unfair!)
  14. cog
    it is odd that in the book from March on destroyers the drawing of the entire Tribal G class is missing whilst I have found nearly all class drawings in it ... the et isn't much better either. some paper models, which I use as reference, reluctantly as you will understand.
  15. cog
    then a reprint has been scheduled after several years ... the kindle may be a result from that it would wasn't it that the weight isn't distributed visually well, to heavy on the outside, which suggests it may break.
  16. cog
    There wll be a slight difference in the forard super,sructure, besides that I'm missing details on the deck. I have to install a range finder and a controler, instead of the radar on Huron, a lot of things I know about but do not have visible confirmation on. I Mmight mess a few things up ...
  17. cog
    I wonder if your brain has gun mushy, RGL. I cannot imagine Mark Taylor to join in on the Seydlitz, but Canute (Ken) sooner ... Hung upside down to long my Aussie midget mate >..?
  18. cog
    Only if cooked right, I wonder if you know howto ... "Dummies book for fowl cooking" ... that doesn't diminish the fact it is still FOUL play!
  19. cog
    Thanks Greg. Still a long way to go. Currently remodelling the forard superstructure, a.o. the bridge. I won't be able to get her all the way into Glowworm, but I'll try to. Rangefinder and it's control are up ... alternated by some mind blowing PE ... the grill on the funnels, one down, one to go ... although a bit early in the build, I suddenly started to put some antifowling red on the deck ...
  20. cog
    3D printed bollards, and fairleads (on the stern) vs those default on the kit (forcastle deck)
  21. cog
    Hmmm, you went behind my back, that's fowl play!!!
  22. cog
    So you can't join in the fun !!!
  23. cog
    Well Greg, it seems you need parental conscent ... did you ask your wife to join, and take you by the hand ...
  24. cog
    Couldn't recall where I read the measurement information, but now you gave the title ... it all falls back into place .. I've got the same book! There is a wealth of information in it, a lot of joinery which is fascinating - at least I find it so - sliding doors, moon doors, lattice work, garden fences ... Pitty the book is OOP for those interested.
  25. cog
    Wrong!!!!!!! you gotta buy a kit an' update set (vely expsive, don't join! teasing plohibited)

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.
