    Jolle those boats do look great and 3D is a game changer in some areas on my build of the Scharnhorst I am using them for small parts that simple plastic injection would never get there.The cost they add to the build can be some what substantial in the end but I feel it's well justified in these 1/200 ships.Keep up the fantastic work you are doing will be checking in.

    I hear ya Mike but the big guns are cool.I am thinking my next 1/200 for what it's worth will be the Bismark I like the lines on Kreigsmarine stuff when outfitted with Atlantic bow.I am seriously starting to think about downsizing my collection of 1/48 and 1/72 one day keep the ships,1/32 and a handful of 1/48's.

    Nice stuff Alan but 1/700 is beyond me ship those pompoms to Mike he can do anything!!
  25. Javlin
    Interesting subject matter Mike you and me like the IJN stuff.
  26. Javlin
    Some very Nice stuff Jolle I may be lucky if I am 1/5 the builder you are I have lots to learn!I never thought of positioning the men as one builds?I was wondering what you guys were using for research shame not much in the line of books.The Anatomy of the Ship seem to be some Nice productions of research which I am using keep up the fantastic work Jolle 1/200 is an amazing scale to play in!
  27. Javlin
    I went RLM 75 for the hull and just picked a white.The turret colors I had to make but but started with RLM04 and worked it from there.Your measurement comes in @1.771" weras mine is 1.875" that's 1/10" lower than mine at the bottom of the boot?It's a judgement call ?is your build up and running yet? I was looking at the waterline and if you go your measurement you will be about 1/10" above the rear shaft support go higher.The Atlantic bow came about because the Kreigsmarine like there ships to sit low in the water but the flat/straight bow let the deck get to much wash.You can see the nice gentle slope upward to the forward mast when you sit back
  28. Javlin
    I am glad you chimed in I had forgotten anyway I measure 1 7/8" from the keel .I used a pencil in a block and drew the line after painting the boot area black.I then ran 1/4" tape(5/16" probably better) above the line and painted the hull red in RLM23.
  29. Javlin
    That's a splendid representation you have done Dan
  30. Javlin
    Boy Chris that came out really Nice and I think one of the better ones!!
  31. Javlin
    I will get you a measurement tomorrow if that works my boot is just a tad thin @1/4" I would say it needs to be about .300" if memory is correct good luck finding tape in that size. A video were she stands ATTM.

    I am sorry guys I forgot my camera but I received 1st,2nd in 1/32 prop missed in the 1/48 prop with my Academy B-25 PBJ and struck 3rd in the 1/48 jet with the F-84 from Tamyia the F-84 was last minute.The contest had a decent showing of 246 entries this year my buddy and I had fun he garnered 2/3 place with his 1/48 Fw-190 Eduard with all the goodies and a 1/72 Me-262 bomber version.The buddy bought $20 worth of raffle tickets and won about six kit and bought four more.

    It came with the kit Mike I did have to add the top cover the switch/potentiometer mounts on to though.The hardest part was the mounting of the micro engine I started further in the engine assembly but friction played a great factor.I was sitting one evening and a thought hit me ......mount it in the front crankcase assembly? I thought ...NO!! ...but it fit!So I can now outfit the rest whether it be a Spit or a P-51!

    She is up on her stand just a little more work on the exhaust staining and the headers.
  35. Javlin
    I am down to now antenna,canopy mirror,pitot tube and the exhaust.The next part will be wiring up the power supply hopefully completed to my liking by Wednesday.The overall look upstairs I am content with the undersides is so-so.🤨
  36. Javlin
    I have started applying the wash first the whole topsides got a dark sand wash then wiped but the brown did nor look fades enough?So I took mostly light sand in a container added 1/4 dark and went over just the brown areas looks better to my eyes.I then applied that same color to the bottom to which I have only started to wipe off the excess.The plan is once I am comfortable with the wash and it still a bit heavy I am going to spray with future since it's more water base than anything else that hopefully will dilute it some.That's the plan.

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.
