    I would like a big carrier but i dont think my eyes would handle a 1/350 scale, after the bismark i wont do another 1/200 so i seam to have found the larger scales which takes up far to much space, far more expensive but gives me so much enjoyment

    Good evening everyone Otter Boards continued i went for the Flory Dark dirt, but a couple are in just grime, so i have a few options when it comes to putting everything in place i read after last nights post, that the outside edges were sheathed in metal to prevent damage to the wood when being dragged on the seabed, having scored one side of the wood to represent planks and then stained it i super glued the frame to it, then drilled holes though, turned it over, scored and stained then lined the other frame to the holes to represent the metal sheathing i cut a thin piece of card, attached it all round and painted now putting the bolts through and secure the heads on the opposite side next will be the brackets which will be this weeks work i not 100% sure where they fit, but here they are for tonight

    Good evening everyone Anchor winch the casting of this was quite bad in places so i will be doing a lot more work on it prior to primer Otterboards 6 of these are have to be made up, basicly two halves sandwiching a plank of wood, these have been cleaned up during the week after work primed with rattle can grey then being painted with the IDF Green (bought for the D9R) the boards is 2mm ply scored to represent planks and a Flory Grime wash to age it some are better than others, but all required cleaning up some of the cleaned off swarf ready for primer the paint gets darker as it dries various stains to find one im happy with

    Spent hours making this look ok, struggling with stable doors, nothing is fixed in position
  28. Kevin
    just recd an update of the build, 95% complete and looking far better than anything i could do
  29. Kevin
    It could be an early prototype before general release, i change things on my builds but never make a note of it
  30. Kevin
    So very very clever

    good evening everyone well i finished the main deck bulkhead braces this weekend was spent working aft, the stern light white metal moulding has been adapted to accept a 3mm led the boat deck supports have been adapted to fit and removed again, as they will be getting in the way, but they are marked where they fit as they are all slightly different, and have finally decided what colour's the build is going to be other than the hull boat deck edges being fitted now i have an idea of end colours lifeboat stations are pinned and marked out where the final position will be

    Thank you Gary, i do love big builds but she is a big lump, hopefully i can make a nice job of her,
  33. Kevin
    LOL the 100's of hours i have spent in red lighting, at periscope depth, and on the surface when at watch diving (the memories come flooding back) which is dimmed so much it then becomes black lighting

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.
