    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

    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

    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

    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

    Very cool! Is your Nelson posted online? Writing of unusual ships, I really wish Trumpeter would release the HMS Abercrombie and Roberts in 1/200. Model on! Cheers, Tom
  13. uncarina
    Very impressive introduction! I really am enjoying your work. Will you be adding copper plating to the hull? Cheers, Tom

    I feel your pain! Cheers, Tom

    Just catching up with this wonderful thread, and It is very impressive! I’m working on the 1/200 HMS Rodney, also a very long term build. Your work really makes me want to get back to it! Cheers, Tom

    Awesome work! Cheers, Tom

    Excellent progress. Knowing when to break up a continuous plank and insert stealers is an art I hope to rediscover! Following your work helps. Cheers, Tom

    Eye candy, every single one of these photos! Even though I don’t plan to model this ship I learn so much here. Thank you for sharing your work! Cheers, Tom

    Thanks Mike, you are very kind! I have a feeling your Walrus build will be the better of the two! I do love the versatility of using Future (I actually use an equivalent called "Quickshine"), whether for a gloss coat, filling small gaps, as an adhesive, and to simulate glass. There's probably other applications out there! Cheers, Tom

    Another update, mostly concentrating on the rear mast: Getting a tripod mast to look aligned and vertical can be tricky, so I'm pleased with the result! Cheers, Tom
  21. uncarina
    I am amazed as well! This is an awesome application of 3d printing. Cheers, Tom
  22. uncarina
    Really inspiring work! Cheers, Tom
  23. uncarina
    I really like your work Chimp! The color and shape of the hull looks to be an excellent foundation for the rest of your build. Which wood filler did you use? Cheers, Tom
  24. uncarina
    It is my pleasure! I am still catching up, and I’ve been really enjoying the journey. The black was just a suggestion based on a cursory guess of the color, but perhaps brass might be a better match! In any case Vallejo paints are really good for brush painting touch-ups. Now back to my reading and saving photos for reference. Cheers, Tom
  25. uncarina
    Thank you very much! After working extensively with 1/350 photoetch, it’s easier (many parts are larger) and harder (there are more subassemblies)! Thank you! 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.
