    Steve, it was just a "short hanging", I enjoyed the ride, short as it may seem now, but I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world. You can be extremely proud of what you have achieved with your build. I do hope you will have something new for us to feast our eyes upon soon. Thanks for sharing ...

    A beauty, Piet. Another very meaningful build in your collection. Very well done indeed

    Doesn't need to be ... she needs to go under to be one

    It's a start Antony ... you're off ...

    Lou, those German battle ships a.o. are to much a like Like all the rest of those foreign ships ENough pulling on leggs. I wonder how accurate information from that eara really is ... I'll just stick to building ... a lot safer!

    Lovely Frank, you are truly a man of ingenuity and patience .. Chapeau (as the French would say)

    Steven, it is odd, for that first photograph is also shown as the one where she is paid off ... the length of those banners being discussed on the page in the book from March. Have to look that one up. It has something to do with the length of the banner depending on the number of years service or the number of crew members at a certain date.... tid bits ...make the life of a ship unique ...

    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

    We are having the same kind of loss nowadays print, wood construction, actually to much to mention

    Seems they grow too in Australia ... odd species

    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 ...

    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

    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!)
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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 ...
  25. 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 >..?

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.
