    Have kept at it through to today, with lots of progress. Forgot to paint the top of the main turrets black, so I did that. Finished the anchor chain area and attached the masts. Coming together nicely. Will attach anchors and propellers next, put decals on, and then give it a matte coat to prepare for weathering.

    Exams are done and work has resumed. Worked on painting and placing all the bits and bobs along with the masts and main turrets. Also assembled the secondary turrets. There are more bits to go, but after attaching the masts and other small things, the building is close to done. The kit is not that extensive.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have also considered joining IPMS Toronto as it’s closer, but don’t think I have the time. How does it compare?

    Hi there, greetings from Toronto. I am currently a university student with little time for modelling during the school year, but get to it when I can. I got into scale modelling pretty young out of an obsession for all things Titanic (a story I don't think is quite so unique). Initially interested in ship models, I also got into aviation from video games and also enjoy 1/48 aircraft. However, I discovered how perfect 1/700 is for ships, especially with the detail Flyhawk can produce while not taking up an entire shelf like with 1/350 or table with 1/200. Therefore, I thought I'd get into this range of models, and coming onto the forum would be a good way to help that along. I am currently working on a 1/700 Derfflinger, with a Prinz Eugen or Hood in the near future. Ambitious I know, but I do have experience. Very happy to be joining the community, hope to chat more with people who share this great hobby.

    Greetings! This will be my first post on this forum, but not my first post. I've been uploading updates on Britmodeller, but decided to port over to this forum because I think it's more focused as to the types of builds I'm trending towards these days. I may need some questions or guidance, and I think this forum would help with that. Also @Spooky spoon has asked me to come onto the forum, so thanks, I'm here now. Below are some nice reference images as well as some of the milestone pictures from the other forum posts along with a link if anyone is interested. I will be sure to be posting more updates on this thread from now on. Enjoy. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235119259-1700-sms-derfflinger-snowman-models

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.
