    Hey thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. I made a start on it Sunday (mine is in a very unique camo skin) and already have the hull base painted. I did buy the Infini barrels and blast bags but that's it. There's plenty of PE included and as you said, its really good quality. I wish all manufacturers would include that level of PE for the prices they can charge. This HB kit is total value for the really low cost, especially given that its 1/350. I've seen 700th scale kits that cost more than this In regards to your thread, I've found it very useful for seeing how the radar is meant to be folded. The instructions are a tad murky in places with some of the intricate PE folds. So, thanks again for your thread, its been super helpful!

    Very elegant looking ship isn't it. This makes me want to get my unfinished Queen Mary 2 out

    I know I'm nearly 6 months late to this thread, but in my defense, I have only just joined. Great result you achieved here! I literally just bought this kit last night and have been scouring the internet for builds to take note of and did a search here to find this build. From all that I've seen, it is one of HBs better kits in terms of accuarcy and fit. I got the impression you had no major issues with it? Is there anything I should be aware in hindsight? I can't wait to start mine when I get to it.

    Thanks guys! Steven, I live out east near the base of the Dandenong ranges sadly, about 40ks from Melbourne CBD. I haven't been out to Ballarat for ages actually. Its really nice out there. However, we are looking at moving up to Brisbane next year to be closer to the wife's family. Not my preference but its for a good reason.

    Thanks for the kind welcome guys, most appreciated! I will do a WIP post of my New Jersey when I get to it as I have to finish off a couple of other projects, but I am not a stickler for historical accuracy. I just build what I like how I like as it is just a hobby for me, so I'm not sure how well that'll go down here. Time will tell I guess

    Greetings everyone! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Simon, I'm originally from New Zealand but have been in Australia since 2004. I am not new to modelling and my works have been primarily sci-fi, aircraft and cars etc. I recently started building ships after I discovered World of Warships and really enjoyed the history of some WW2 battleships and cruisers. I thought I'd join up to take in the immense wealth of information and talent here to try and get better at ships. My preferred medium is plastic but would like to give a wooden ship a go one day. Thankyou all for having me and sitting through this thread

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.
