    Patrick, Your truly impressive build has inspired me and taught me a great deal along the way, and I really appreciate you taking the time and making the effort to share it with us. Well done all around! Cheers, Tom

    That is beautiful work! I’ve really enjoyed seeing your progress. I also love the effect you achieved coppering the hull. Cheers, Tom

    I’m with you Pete in wondering about this. These images show a rigging anchor point that appears to be missing from both the kit and the HS upgrade:

    I’m late to this party but Patrick I have great respect for your build and have been taking notes! Cheers, Tom

    I recognize that, but the weathering would be similar. The author mentions the greenish tint to the hull under certain conditions, and your work reminded me of this. Cheers, Tom
  26. uncarina
    I’ve been watching your build closely and taking detailed notes! I really like your approach to the build and weathering. This might be of some use for the latter: https://amp.rokket.biz/docs/u-boat_colours.pdf specifically the weathering section. Cheers, Tom

    Or a Japanese restaurant! 😄 Cheers, Tom

    Just checking in. Any progress on this? Cheers, Tom
  29. uncarina
    Definitely the road less travelled! I love your progress and commitment to authenticity. Cheers, Tom

    This is a really great start! I have this kit and many of the elements that I’ve thought about (eg, doors and windows) you’ve addressed very nicely. I’m also planning to copper the hull so will be taking notes from your work. Thanks for posting your build. Cheers, Tom

    I’ve saved every picture for reference. This is great! Cheers, Tom
  32. uncarina
    I’m very impressed with your work so far! Cheers, Tom

    The devil is in the details! Great work. Cheers, Tom

    Your are very kind! I was also amazed at her depth below the waterline, perhaps a testimony to her armor. Not everyone knows she had torpedo tubes down there, and I historical accounts indicate that she fired torpedoes at the Bismarck. Cheers, Tom

    I love these updates, and I’m saving your photos for reference. Considering the IJN Mikasa is in the same rarified category as the HMS Victory or USS Constitution, I am mystified why there isn’t a readily available good comprehensive reference for her. Cheers, Tom

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.
