    Indeed Lou, bet it would be quite a thing to be close by, I saw a video where an M60 fired a round into the engine bay of a Land Rover car and it completley destroyed it - amazing power. OC.

    Brother - going the "Extra Mile" in our pursuit of realism is what we all do here, and frankly I don't think you will be happy unless you gave the 3D printing a try, you know you have our attention for the duration - and for me personally the more involved the project is - the more interest it has - its good to push the envelope so to speak. OC.

    Thank you so much - at the moment the engine has stalled - hence why there will be another of the crew looking into it - guess if they find chocolate bars they will be eaten very quickly lol. OC.

    Evening all, I managed some more time on this today - firstly I added some more PE trunking, then I made the barrel up consisting of several sections, this was then glued in place and the PE guard was added. I have the barrel elevated and glued in that position. Photo/s also include driver Dave just placed there for now (he was feeling left out) OC.

    Evening all, some more things added - the frame for the loaders co axial and some other details on the roof. Just noticed a need to make a joining cover for where the trunking meets the body of what ever device it is towards the back. OC.

    Evening all, more work continues on the turret - I built up the Thermal management system and the VCU unit, and also added the machine gun mounting bracket to the semi round PE plate. OC.

    Thats a great idea with that tinted foil - there should be loads of it around, love the idea for the wheel mask - so much easier than hand painting each one I will have to try and make something similar. 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.
