    I spent the weekend making aircrafts. The first batch is finished.

    Next sreo is the placement of rocket launchers. They turned up a big success, with high details, the teasers look like a giant fork behind them.

    I just finished working on the 5 masts. It took me 1 hour 20 min. They are very fragile.rigging is going to be a challenge Placed over my future project, Bergamini class frigate 3d printed

    I like the paper glue method over the foil. You can work better the wave form and direction of the waves with a brush. It takes more effort but worth it. There's no easy way out on this.

    Try to shape the waves in a way they look they come from the same direction. Make a corridor at the stern for the wakes that should be almost flat

    I used self made mask and painting techniques to achieve the desired result
  27. mikegr
    After camouflage painting the model began to look realistic. There were moments that I was about to give up but looks like its good I didn't Next phase is working on the deck. After that, details will be added like cranes, guns and ofcourse aircrafts
  28. mikegr
    Ok after a lot of mods I managed to finish the hull. There are more things to be done but this can't be done in a sensible piece of time especially in the aft area. Anyway a light primer was sprayed mostly for the brass representing the degaussing line
  29. mikegr
    Too late 😂 Cannons, barrels, extra barrel rafts and both types of decoys launches By the way the angled gun is the later stealth type. Should be combined with the Sea Send or (my guess)
  30. mikegr
    My HMS Montrose kit The 4 parts missing are the halfs of the 2 Sea Gnat decoy launchers. However seems that type 23 ships have been updated this heptagon device is called Sea Sendor, soon be replaced by trained launcher system I already prepared a test file, not sure about the dimension of the Sea Send or but looks almost same high as a sailor, means approx 2.6mm in height I noticed also that these ships seems are carrying the Mk1 Version of the 4.5" guns the one with the angles not the rounded one provided in the kit. I have a file for this and it was used in my type 45 scratch built project. It should come along nice with the Sea Sendor update. Will also check if more pieces can be improved so I can use them on my own built.

    After a lot of work the deck section is almost ready to attach. It will be a major task about 70% of the work has been done
  32. mikegr
    I will check my HMS Montrose kit and get back to you
  33. mikegr
    What piece are you missing maybe I can print it
  34. mikegr
    10 days without update but no day without work. The difficulties were too many to refer, testing, missfittings, retesting etc. Finally the result was satisfying and relatively accurate, though 100% accuracy is out of question
  35. mikegr
    I made the portside platforms. Some fitted easily. In the biggest parts I was able to improve them by adding some PE parts. It will be a considerable improvement over the old model

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.
