    I am curious how you will get those fine details apear on the hull ... merely paint will not get it out as easily ...
  9. cog
    That's a nice and clear picture , Lou. Thanks heaps!!
  10. cog
    Thanks OC. I think I'll stick with the wanting hull, as it will be my first attempt at weathering a larger hull (those two 1/700 subs don't count)
  11. cog
    At least you'v got your work cut out for you. That's quite a lot of portholes to replace, and what I see from this end, some smallplates on the hull ...
  12. cog
    Interesting OC. I would need the top view, and the line plan to get that right as well. There is one other detail: Is that a G class or an H class ... they do differ despite the fact they share the same basis. Furthermore, I couldn't find data for it, so I don't know if all were built in the same yard ... can't imagine with the pressure of WWII, did the yard stick exactly to the drawing ... (need for speed)

    Jack, V class: 10.7" H class: 12.8"
  14. cog
    Where did you get that information from OC?
  15. cog
    Thanks gents, an' Polly Which one would be more likely on a RN destroyer between WWI & WWII
  16. cog
    Yupz
  17. cog
    If you want to, but I wouldn't use black, but something like burnt umber or sienna
  18. cog
    Are those double vickers on the wings of the bridge?
  19. cog
    At least I've got some more room on deck ... (I hope) V vs H class:
  20. cog

  21. cog

    When starting at the V class with RGL, I got interested in the RN G & H Class destroyers. Thus, got on the net and found this kit Pictures later, I am presently unable to upload any size photograph Some general info: H-class Type: Destroyer Service Period: 1936-1949 Characteristics: Length: 323 feet (98.45 meters) Beam: 33 feet (10.06 meters) Draught: 12 feet 5 inches (3.79 meters) Displacement: 1,340 tons (Standard): 1,859 tons (Full Load) Crew: 137 (Peacetime); 146 (Wartime) Propulsion: 3 x Johnson boilers, 2 x Parsons geared turbines, 2 x shafts, 34,000 shp (25,000 kW) Range: 5,530 nautical miles (10,242 kilometers) at 15 knots (27.78 km/h) Speed: 36 knots (66.67 km/h) Armament: 4 x QF 4.7"/45-caliber Mk.IX dual purpose naval guns (4x1) 8 x .50-caliber machine guns (2x4) 8 x 21" torpedo tubes (2x4) 20 x depth charges (1 x rail and 2 x throwers) Guns will be replaced, either by brass, or 3D printed, I found the torpedo tubes in 3d very appealing so I'll try those again ... First I've got 172 port holes to drill
  23. cog
    Thanks Piet, and thank you all for the likes Before I ruin everything ... with my brush, here is the, still in brass, "railed" ship ship's boats added for some more colour and the port and starboard lights ... won't be long now ...
  24. cog

  25. cog

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.
