    double check my math to confirm the belt thickness. that is why i said a dremel tool or similar to reduce or remove the belt & replace with new belt so no wavy lines caused by reducing belt thickness.

    what time period of the war for NC? armor belt thickness for that class would be 12" so at 1/700 scale it would be .435mm thick, do you have a dremel tool or similar to remove that belt & replace with 2 layers of .2mm or 1 layer of .5mm thick styrene sheet?

    what time period are you doing the model as Trumpeter's painting instructions leave a lot to wonder about?
  13. ddp
    no problem.

    those are not barbettes for the 6in guns but casements. the barbettes are the bases for the 13.5in turrets to sit on. they are similar to what was on the American standard battleships with the New Mexico class being the last to have them in the hull but no guns installed.

    redo the float test after you got it all built & rc stuff installed to make final ballast adjustments.

    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

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.
