    Now you're talking!! She looks used, mebby bit of grunge and you got her straight back from a tour of duty

    Removed the banana stripes ... One more layer to add, so the entire tub will be primed. I wonder if I need to set highlights and/or shading on the hull plating ...
  3. cog
    So what's holding you back to reshoot with your camera?
  4. cog
    That scratching ... it's a bit hard to see, try some different settings with your camera OC
  5. cog
    That's the first layer, now for getting theses parts on their respective places ... got some more reading to do on the RN style deck layout Cheers

    Maybe I can disrupt you log a bit further ... I can get you larger pictures, PM me if you want to. Size has it's limitations, or is it disruptiveness ...
  7. cog
    I see you are not less adept with fiddly origami, mate. Very impressive for a fiddler ... Cheers

    Yes quite devastating, how did you guess ........ especially for Aussie midget mates ...

    Yes it was camouflaged for fear of destruction in the yard - she was still under construction at the beginning of WWI - that was grey and grey, after that a light grey, and a dark grey version, and from late '42 until her refit in '44 a more colourful camouflage

    I'll try to get you some camouflage pictures today of the KGV during the 1943 period from a book on British battleships and cruisers I've got (same series as the one on destroyers I showed in the RN H class log) and her initial camouflage, which wasn't a single grey with a green or blue rectangle

    You would miss ha;f the fun, creating the plug ...
  12. cog
    I'm facing the same problem with Musashi. Will be fun!
  13. cog
    That looks a real challenge, how will you hide the seems between the different levels?
  14. cog
    Thanks gents, I'll be trying to spray them with primer ... that will be fun
  15. cog
    Yupz, the work of a shipyard employee is hard in this weather

    Who's that spinach-man talking to ...? Did anyone say camouflage could be colourless ... I like the yellow one at the bottom ... could be a desert ship ( in Dutch that's the alternative name for a Camel )

    Received some parts for the build, these are large images (courtesy of Shapeways, and their copyright) in reality most parts (i.e. the entire set) are no bigger than the nail of my pinky finger 1/350 4.7"/45 (12cm) QF Mark IX CPXVII Guns x4 1/350 Royal Navy Tribal Class Fairleads 1/350 Royal Navy Tribal Class Bollards x10 1/350 Quad Vickers 0.50"/62 MKIII 45º No Shield x4

    Extended my library ... on Destroyers (OOP title) and on camouflage (look at the luvly colours !)
  19. cog
    You were planning on using the original plastic one !?!? Trumper radar looks real nice Scott. Lucky you
  20. cog
    Thought it a wee bit silent on the "Barendrecht"-front. Sweden, that's a whole different ball game. Actually, I'm kind a jealous, having passed a long weekend in Stockholm last year, I got a taste for it. Hope you'll settle in soon and enjoy the work, and surroundings. Take care, I'll be waiting patiently. P.s. I took your advise to heart and ordered the Byrnes table saw, thanks for that
  21. cog
    Masterful Piet. Now I understand your "membership". You always seem to sneek upon me with a new surprise ... very unnerving mate
  22. cog
    I like the way the PE makes the parts more realistic. When you look at the original parts, they are somewhat heavy, unrealistic
  23. cog
    I think I would have taken something more tissue paper like ... stll, couldn't do it as well as you just did
  24. cog
    Take a logical, straight forward way. We, in our "modern" times, tend to over think, and make things unnecessary complex, whilst simplicity is often the key

    Nice OC, just what I imagined!

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.
