    Right then folks - front vents added then painted, then the "gulp gulp stage" - out came my hacksaw then after marking Two pencil lines, I started to cut away. So here are the Two ends placed dry roughly where they will be, there will also be some debri flaoting around - rafts boat bits etc. OC.

    So, I have just been doing a wee bit more doodling in paint - next stage of this is to add a few more vents around the conning tower then the flag staff supports at both ends (the flag staffs would have been removed and stowed as would the rear ladders and forward ones. Then it will be "Saw Time" I will make the Two cuts as shown in these Two diagrams that I borroed of the internet the doctured in Paint - I will then put the Two sections aside till I come up with a suitable base. They show incorectly the Red hull bottoms. OC.

    Evening all, got a good bit done today, I got the airbrush out and layed a few coats on both forward turrets they were then glued down, I then added some paint to the Pom Poms and other firrings - before adding a we bit of a wash. OC.

    Had a think about your hanger problem - could part of it be riding hight on the decking? as this happened to me on my Warspite build (and that was in 1/350 scale) I had to trim a bit away to let part of the superstructure sit flat on the deck. 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.
