    i'm doing 1 too but correcting the hull 1st. the kit is actually 1/429 scale not 1/426 scale as the box says.

    i split the garage in half with 1 half as an insulated wood workshop & the other half to be for their 2 cars but endup being used as a metal working workshop, storage for riding lawn mower & for his Harley. your east of me as i'm in Lefroy south of Barrie.

    not all plastic stuff as most of my 1/144 scale warships are balsa frame with 1mm thick styrene plastic skin for the hull & superstructure. my 1/144 scale County class Destroyer is balsa frame & skin as it was my 1st big model ship. did a billings boat decades ago & i think i have it somewhere that is if my cats did not chew it up. but my biggest wood scratch building was my friend's 25'x35' garage that i had to partially redesign before helping him build it.

    Keith Black, i did have build logs on another site til i took the logs off due to issues with that site. have been thinking of doing build logs on a couple of sites but might wait til i finish editing/cleaning up well over 140 Booklet of General Plans of the US Navy i have saved on my computer. my smallest warship is about 6" long & the biggest is about 52" long. my current long term project which is on pause for the past 3-4yrs due to medical issues & the editing of those plans is doing all 16 USN OBB's during ww2 & 1 after using Revell's 1/429 scale model of the USS Arizona as a basis to kitbash those ships. i have also been doing some model warship consulting with 3D-Wild plus providing them with plans/drawings or links to same. example: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=393968

    your decking pattern appears to be the same as done on 3d printed warships which i think is wrong. border planking would be done 1st around structures & hull edges then the 1st planking would be laid on the centerline then infilled on either side of the centerline so will have staggered butt joints not what you have done.
  22. ddp
    same to you & happy new year.

    look at your model's 20mm ammo magazine with the 1 in this picture. http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_2cm-70_mk234_Iowa_pic.jpg you might want to thicken those magazines.

    did you show the corrections to your friend that you did to your model that he did not do to his? i have 5 of Revell's 1/480 scale Yorktown kits either built or in the stash with 1 of the stash being the Hornet with the Mitchell bombers. the intention is to build the 3 Yorktowns at different stages of the war with the Yorktown at the begining of the war, Hornet during the Doolittle raid & the Enterprise at the end of the war so that the differences between all 3 can be seen. the other 2 kits will be kitbashed into the Ranger & the Wasp like i am doing kitbashing Revell's 1/429 scale USS Arizona into to 16 old battleships of ww2 & an extra Mississippi as a gun missile training ship after the war.

    the model's crossbar seems to be wider then in relation to the 1 in the photo on the ship. is the height of the mast from base to crossbar the correct scale height because if it is then it can be used to calculate the correct width of the crossbar?

    Haze Gray, i have the drawings of BOUVET 1896 17.4mb , JAUREGUIBERRY 1893 16.5mb & MASSENA 1898 6.41mb saved on my computer from the French naval site years ago before that site got hacked & shutdown so if you need a copy, let me know.

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.
