    More work today on the two rear bulwark 20mm tubs, I used the kit plastic parts but added the pontos pe shields, they where fitted then painted light grey inside the tubs and medium grey outside, and black on the gun barrel. Here are a couple of pics from my phone cam due to the macro mode. Thanks for all the likes and replies. OC.

    Thank you kevin, she was my favourite ship of ww2 and what an amazing service she had only ending in cornwall when she refused to be sent to the scrappers and dug herself in on the rocks. OC.

    Thanks denis, I decided to give her another bash as my hand condition - Dupuytren's Disease is not too bad at the moment, and my sub caused me no problems at all. Take another seat there are plenty left (they un filled due to lack of interest) hoping this time with a new vision and mojo, should be a better adventure. OC.

    Thanks ken, thats kind of my thinking also - working from stern to bow but also working from the center outwards, but as we do aslo working on the sub assemblies off the ship to save any damage from working over delicate parts, the masts will be a later instalation as I will hope to build these from brass rod. OC.

    I think the railings on her will be a step too far and I might ruin her by trying, but I will finish her off with a wood plinth and a pedestal or two, and a couple of coats of flat spray when I get round to buying it. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Yep, bit by bit taking my time, I guess it will take the next 30 - 40 years to finish (I dont like rushing) OC.

    So! it continues - my object was and is to work from the stern moving piece by piece to the bow, so my first return to her was to work on the two aa gun tubs nearest the rear bulwarks where the nameplates are. Same build process with these resin pieces - cleaned up then two pe ammo boxes where bent to shape then glued in place with ca glue, then a door was fitted to each. So here is the first pic of my return. OC.

  23. Old Collingwood
    Transfer day - I foregot how fiddly this stage was but I managed to fit them, so apart from doing a little bit of light touch up, then mounting it on a base and a final spray of rattle can matt (need to buy one of these) its near finished. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Mate, have you thought of also doing a K class destroyer like HMS Kelly aka from the film - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Which_We_Serve OC.

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.
