    Exactly. The Pontos Soya is probably my next plastic kit and maybe the most advanced model ship full kit.

    Today I finished the model, adding some extra details, some weathering and the rigging. I have to admit that the most challenging and rewarding part of the project was the rigging. Fortunately what helped a lot is the excellent rigigng material from Infini model (Fine lycra Rigging 70 denier - 0.091mm). Later I will also upload a short video once I have it ready.

    After the completion of Celtic Voyager and in the middle of other projects, I decided to take off the shelf a kit for the SOYA ship that I wanted to build for a long time. In general, the kit, despite its small scale, is very well made and with enough details, especially if someone decides to use the dedicated HASEGAWA photoetch set. For this time I will not go into details regarding the construction process, I will simply list the photos in chronological order. The model is almost done, all that remains is to put some weathering and the rigging. After that i will post and the photos of complete model. After that I think I will probably start the same ship this time from the Pontos models. I've had it on the shelf and admired it for a while . Yes I know wishful thinking but that's the cool thing about this hobby. I hope you find this interesting as a topic.

    All construction stages completed. I also added some extra details although some of them are arbitrary. I really enjoyed this little kit.

    For the step 38,39,40,41,42,43 and 44 the pieces were cut and glued in place. 38 & 39 - scientific experiment cranes 40 - deck support 41 - multi-propose crane 42 - fire hose lockers 43 & 44 - bridge wing companionways My little friend is waiting for boarding!!

    Next for the step 35, 36 & 37 I cut out the matching parts from styrene rod, did a paint test on leftover pieces, assembled the pieces for the windglass and bollard and cut and painted the chains. Finally all parts glued in place.

    Assembly of Stern gantry / net reel. All parts cut and ready for glue. Parts assembled and glued in place.

    Next step are the assembly of the two net winch. I used a punching tool for cutting the circular shapes. I also preferred to cut from a metal pipe for these tubes. Here are all the parts for the assembly of net winch and the final result. I'm sure I made some mistakes in the assembly instead. I hope David will forgive me! Next i decide to paint the edges as the place where they will be placed does not allow them to be painted afterwards. I will paint the edges of the rest of the ship at a later stage. and glued in place.

    For now put on my shelf. I will complete my other projects first !! I hope.

    Hi, Just made a short video of "unboxing" the card kit 1:250 HMV SMS UNDIN. Included in the and of the video also, the Lasercut set from the same company. A quick look in the kit and it seems very detailed. https://youtu.be/tPKftt8peZs

    I started the project in the middle of another one and due to limited space I wanted to not have sandpapering and etc for a while. The kit is excellent and very cheap to start with paper models although not the easiest perhaps. In the photo below, the first 26 steps have been completed. In step 27 the mast base and radar platform was cut and glued in place. Next the anchors and breakwater was cut and glued in place. Assembled and glued in place the the escape two hatches Finally for today I prepared and double glued the pieces for the steps 32-23. To keep them straight I placed them under a heavy 2" angle plate.

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.
