Agree, I will definitely do another, SOE black one would be my choice, and some of the sprue parts hint Airfix may do one. 🤞If not a few aftermarket parts out there. I’ll be following if you go there! 😁 -

A Supermarine Walrus? The Airfix one gets good reviews and the cockpit can have the windows open, if “Ugly” is your thing who are we to judge! 🤣 -

Congratulations, really done! -
Hi Mike, no I have not started it yet, not brave enough! I have looked over it a few times and like you seen the “traps” (resin) and the good parts (P.E.). The resin seems awful delicate, as well as not very “clear” and i’m still puzzling how to get some parts out of the blocks still looking identifiable. Some are so small even if you did get them out successfully they would look like “blobs” if more than a few molecules of glue used! I will however try to build it as an experiment, as I fortunately got mine from an eBay charity shop for £20! So not much to lose by using it as a learning experience. Also the WW1 “dazzle” camo! 😳

Not many updates recently, but the yards are all pretty similar and not very photogenic with my phone camera, so I have not done multiple updates of similar looking stuff. But good news - the end of the yard(s) construction is here! 😁 Nothing for it now but to get down to starting the rigging over the Christmas holidays. I will be spending a long time studying plans and the AOTS book first! Thanks for looking in and the likes. 👍

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.
