    Added the crossover pipes for the calipers. And added the bleed nipples. And done some to the suspension. Just need to talk to the blokes at work for the routing of the brake pipes.

    Added some of the missing pipework did the first bit of masking Needs a bit of touching up but I'm happy with it, masking round those air ducts was quite tricky started weathering the underneath and started on the brakes and a trial fit of the rear end.

    I posted a tutorial on one of the forums I'm on, on how I do it, I would post here but I don't know where to post it. I could post a link to it if you like.

    Hi all well I'm back from Scotland so did some work on this today, this is as much detail as the kit supplies I've done a trial fit in the body to see how it looks, I've got more pipework and wiring to add yet.
  15. kpnuts
    Hi all turbo and some ancillary parts started.
  16. kpnuts
    Did some work on the fuel pump, Tamiya would have you use plastic tube for the fuel lines whereas they are metal on the real thing. Since I've used artistic licence already and depicted gold plated nuts and bolts I decided to depict gold plated fuel lines too.
  17. kpnuts
    OK so I've added the advance retard pipe to the distributor (assuming you can even see it) Body painted. And more work on the engine
  18. kpnuts
    Hi all added battery cables and starter motor cables. I've got to say I'm super happy with the metal effects on this. The casings would be made of magnesium and I've worked up close and personal on hundreds of these and I don't think I could get more realistic results, I tried a different approach, normally I use ABT engine grease thinned down to a wash but I didn't want to disturb the mig steel colour I had used which I know white spirit based wash would so I tried a wash of vallejo engine grey over it. I'm loving the result, I can see me using this again.
  19. kpnuts
    OK so as you can see I'm not building this as a showroom car but rather as one that has just finished a race.
  20. kpnuts
    The fuel cell is fiber glass and has to be certified each year.
  21. kpnuts
    Hi all well I've made a start. For a Tamiya kit there are some horrid seams on the front end. I've not glued anything in the front yet, this is just for a look see I've masked the inside of the tank and tried to show some fuel in there.
  22. kpnuts
    OK so more work on the carbs (I know they look a bit granular atm I will work on improving that.
  23. kpnuts
    Thanks Rob I take it the stays are the triangular sails on the standing rigging.
  24. kpnuts
    Hi all just won this on ebay(won't be starting it for a while as this covid is doing a real job on me atm)
  25. kpnuts
    OK so I've done work on the ships boats. And she has her name on the stern too. Added the top rail.

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.
