    Finished the primer on the deck furniture, added some shading, although I'll need to do some more, after that the first coat of grey. In the mean time I've been adding some rustOpowder to the hull, today the horizontal streeks, add some to the bow and it's lacking between a midships and stern on both sides, but that'll have to wait until the deck gets populated, need to add some softness to some of the "blobs" ... after the rust,another layer of flat varnish, then the salt streaks ... that should be interesting ...

    Well, so it seems we all have our idiosyncracies, it is not just upabove, but downunder too

    OC, You have to work your way down the stairs when you pop them up, else you'll be pushing the previous down. If you push that one up again, you have a fair chance it breaks off ... learned that one the hard way ... If I can get to the steps easily after they have been glued down, I do it in position with a #11 Swann & Morton blade, works like a charm too, i.e. for me

    Nice. I like the effect you accomplished with the chipping fluid

    No pivoting parts ... nicely stuck together with CA ... probably not a pretty sight either

    Can hardly tell the difference KP ... hard choice to make ... Turned out rather spiffy ... You really think there were windows ...The cap'n on an open bridge ... to hoist the boats snuggling in a cosy cabin ...

    Are those a bit "greasy"

    Who would have expected that ...? Very lovely turnbuckles, I am astonished by what you accomplish at that scale, and most of all the number of parts you can make separately. I would be happy if I could make it as a single piece!!!

    Second photograph, "pencils" on the left, are those for lithograph? Nice assortment of leads and "holders"(?) From the latter I got some from my grandfather, but for some reason I use mostly the modern ones ... (from 20 odd years ago )

    Greg not all Oerlikons from the RN had shields, I do not know the details when or why, still looking for more data

    Thank you Pat, I think I'd best refrain from the rum until the fat lady sang her last chord on the tripplets. "The ... gets going" already

    You are part of the fiddly community now

    Denis, Progress exists! well done, you noticed I did trim the depth markers. Measured them out and snip, snip ...With regards to the "lame" Arizona kit ... maybe you are the one which makes it the perfect ship ... scratch building and all ... you've got the extra PE, plastic you can use from the sprues ... what's in a challenge when it's easy ... you always like to do it the hard way ... a bit of ranting can't do you harm, just motivates the you know what out of you!!!
  22. cog
    Those flota rafts turned out marvelous OC. Very well done for scratch
  23. cog
    I've got the same ones, the brass/PE that is. Would like to lay my hands on the real deal ... nice garden ornament
  24. cog
    and you didn't !?
  25. cog
    Yeah right, I find it to be the other way around. Haven't seen a PE/brass tripple AA gun on the smaller ones yet!

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.
