    Multiple layers, or if you want a rough edge I'd brush paint it,

    You're certainly not alone, my better half has done similar, I've been building very fires 1/350 Taiho over the past year off and on and certain stages have resulted in some choice language shall we say, oddly that can be part of the enjoyment, the satisfaction that then comes when you achieve the next milestone with the project
  25. S-boat 55
    Must say what's you've achieved so far is really impressive, And did my eyes deceive me or was there a large scale Arizona in the background of one of the photos?
  26. S-boat 55
    Some how ive only just seen this thread, have very much enjoyed seeing your progress shots, she's a real stunner!
  27. S-boat 55
    Ditto the above, I'm in
  28. S-boat 55
    What a beauty, If you don't mind what paint did you use for the planes?
  29. S-boat 55
    She looks stunning, love the open doors on the range finders,
  30. S-boat 55
    Not seen canning done like that before - great idea,
  31. S-boat 55
    Looking good,
  32. S-boat 55
    I've got no further than joing the top.and bottom hull on my Littorio, didn't find it as bad but did find that cutting the horizontal 'stiffner' as close as I dare at the bow and stern gave a bit of helpful play, that's probably too little too late now though,
  33. S-boat 55
    That's a great idea with the range finders,
  34. S-boat 55
    I can recommend this book from what I've read so far: Ermino Bagnasco The Littorio Class: Italy's Last and Largest Battleships 1937-1948 Reasonably priced in the UK, not sure else where though,
  35. S-boat 55
    Nicer than a hotel inside! And from what I've read that rather lavish interior was actually less than originally planned as they scaled back spec as part of an overall effort to reduce weight,
  36. S-boat 55
    I'll follow with interest especially as I have Littorio in the stash,

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.
