    A challenge ... now we're talkin'!!!

    Nice, looks very promising. Didn't have the second item (crane-ish things) in full PE?

    "aside from resorting to the use of a two stage epoxy, I have yet to find a suitable cement for it." I used UHU on both Smit Rotterdam and Smit Nederland, which worked rather well, if I may say so

    "There appears to be quite a bit of extra length behind the collar." On my plastic build I had to take some lengths off the brass turrets too (nearly 2 cm!) so that doesn't make me wonder

    I wonder if the Bismarck was built in the Orient ... i.e. considering all the roofs ... "Luckily next week is the last one to deal with this particular section for a while." So you can start on another set of roofs ?
  6. cog
    Easier to dust

    When you find them, let me know where I can get a pair!!! Now Slog mentionned it, I wondered what that ridge/ring was for ... but the difference in scale = 1/200 vs my plastic 1/350 - put me off too ... so much more details ...

    captcha is browser problem. If it happens on Firefox, try chrome, or Edge.

    Hope you have enough space when you continue at that scale, nice find though

    Dennis, According to Evans' Waka Taua, most were painted red (shark liver oil & either red ochre or burnt karamea clay pg35)

    Why do you use a brilliant laquer instead of a matt for the cask(s)?
  12. cog
    I prefere the Very Old Gouda (the one with salt christals in it ) a very old farmer's cheese from around Gouda would be even better ... I cannot imagine sculpy being like that ...

    Just one I broke three, but my hull was/is resin, does that give me any credits when I buy a new set!?!?
  14. cog
    The Holiday season is nearing ... which is a bit dual ...

    You are quite accomplished at soldering Mark. I wouldn't have tried to solder stainless steel though ... still wonder if such a weld would hold at all ... so maybe it is a bit of luck it isn't stainless Cheers

    If this planking is not your definite layer, you need not be very accurate. A smooth finish would do, the run of the planks is less important. like this The final layer defines the look and feel of the hull in the end. If the final layer, you will have some steelers e.a. to make

    Nice idea though Vossie. You can watch a flying example in the last revision of the Three Musquetiers movie

    It does, as a few other brands do. Actually, TS17 and XF16 ... may be what you need see chart Tamiya Colour Chart.pdf

    Have a good look at ladders, and things which needs to be installed first as other bits will run over them ... I made that mistake, and I seem to see rungs crossed bij those horizontal rails/rungs or whatever you call them ... I like those louvres better than the pontos part. Although, I wouldn't know if it is better in view of contemporary usage or not
  20. cog
    oh golly, I'm on the edge of my seat Looking forward to this though
  21. cog
    As Russ wrote ... uncanny
  22. cog
    You might try a sheet of thin paper in front of your working lights to diffuse the light ... looks pritty spiffy though
  23. cog
    To get your sences on edge!!!
  24. cog
    Looks like a lion which needs to go urgently to the john ... Nice picture though
  25. cog
    Nice work, Dan, how did you cut out the ring itself, what I see the punch doesn't meet that circumference ...

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.
