    Thats looking really nice Alan - such a smart kit to start with and you are doing a fine job of it - remember its scale😲 OC.
  4. Old Collingwood
    Same as our other brothers have said - it looks really good like a mirror - looking forward to see that on the Star. OC.

    Thank you so much Alan, it was trial and error - never knowing if I had gone over the top, next off will be the engine bay that will get the same treatment. OC.

    Evening all, more work today on the engine - I stared off with a few stages of Flat Alum in a few areas, then some Flat Black vents hose etc, I followed this off with my dark Brown wash all over then wet brushed to give a more overall finish, I finished off with some White dry brushing. So here we have a well used engine..... OC.

    Something rather nice about the shape of the M48 and M60 and love the hull almost boat like, and boy where they made to last. Nice work Denis. OC.

    That is looking so nice Kevin. OC.

    A bit more done today, I decided to make a driver figure - well this became more of a mission than first thought, same issue as fighter plane figures - over scale, so even after experimenting with Two different leg sections, no way would he sit in his seat with the top of the tank dry fitted. So plan number Two - to fit him on the edge of the drivers compartment communicating with another figure who will be standing near the open engine bay. OC.

    Key to them is good magnification/light and a steady hand. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    I will paint him in a similar way to how I painted this guy for my British Chally - OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    I foregot to mension - I am not too fussy about some overspray on the drivers seat as I have a driver figure to go in the seat, I have the same set of figures as I used on my chally (modern US Tankers). OC.

    Evening all, more progress to day, the airbrush was out again - I mixed up some flat White and gave a few thin layers to the inner parts. OC.

    Evening all, I managed to get a bit more done on this today, I got the airbrush/booth out and put a few layers of my Vallejo Primer down on the drivers compartment./engine bay/engine and a few other bits, then after drying a attacked a few over spays with some wet and dry. oc.

    Alan some people paint the (inside) of the clear blocks with Red/Orange/Purple, it can look quite good - like these pics of the net. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more work on the power plant - more sub assemblies that were then brought together - nearly built just a few more fittings - also a dry fit in the engine bay (snug fit) OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Denis. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    "Tapping fingers on desk" waiting for the pictures....... OC.

  24. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly mate. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Evening all - "Engine Time" - the power plant in the kit is quite complex and is a kit in its self, some nice sub assemblies are built first.

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.
