    Some Nice lines abound on this Airframe Dan will be looking in from time to time.
  2. Javlin
    Mike you got some beautiful results out of that one!!
  3. Javlin
    I am not through with the weathering still got the sides of the hull to go.I do not have much more to add to the fore deck mainly just the anchor which I plan to repaint probably black/gray.I went what I thought was light on the rust using a rubber paint brush Nice and Pointy.I just had to start on the railings lesson learned glue in play bottom rung first and attach carefully the bottom wire gets the alignment done straight every thing else falls into place. PS: going light on the weathering a boat maybe 6/12 months more like 6 in service.

    From My perspective you are ahead of the game and winning these little thing are not easy and yes frustrating.It will be great once you start painting then that's another log in itself.

    Rob they look way better than most of us put together at least me in that regard stuff is so small and dainty.

    Thanks Herman I am not a heavy weathering guy mainly highlights some weathering around torpedo tubes bollards mine racks.Thanks for the pics these boats took a beating.

    Can you tell I am on Holiday?I keep pressing this one forward .I have added more to the bow section still need to add rails,anchor gaff pole.The Kalotte still needs bit and pieces to finish it out reason for no Future there yet.The bridge is done except for antennas and life rings.I start tomorrow with highlights and weathering wish me luck.The S-100's had more metal and heavier than the S-38's so rust but I am thinking a greenish grey for vertical streaks to the hull like algae and maybe the occasional oil? Hase you have any good side pics of weathering?Much obliged if you do.Kevin

    I have started construction of the middle gun Hase may look more menacing than the 37mm with the added PE from the kit.
  9. Javlin
    Brandish it all!! I am glad to see that pic shows a separation in the torpedo straps.
  10. Javlin
    The PE kit has you remove the plastic off the deck then I went back with a drill bit and cleaned a little bit more out.I have some some .012" guitar string I am going to use upstairs and the LOwer now i understand!IIt looks according to my references it lays outside with metal over the top that is still in planning could just be water based glue once tacked in play and painted.

    Thanks Hase for the info the book I got I would not really recommend seems to deal with one ship in a particular time frame.I could not go with Revells stanchions and made my own with .030" plastic rod and brass heads.
  12. Javlin
    I know about the gun layout "it's my boat" as to the mines I was dubious to add the other two seeing the book also showed four I will pry off two "the quad stays and the 37mm captain"Thanks for the input. If I do Hsae decide to go historical it will be a tough decision.
  13. Javlin
    I now have the mines complete and glued to the deck what you see here is about 3hrs of work it was just tough finding the time of late ........Life.I got the chain for the stern(looks perfect to scale) of the boat on craft with mines=chain and depth charges =rope . I ust got to blacken the chain probably get Russ down the street since my gun stuff is old.This boat looks to be loaded out to whup ***.
  14. Javlin
    Thanks Ken.The mine is a 3/8" wooden ball from HobbyLobby,base square tubes @.365"X2.020" sides,detonators .010' brass wire,weld seam thread and up front plastic/PE from a 1/350 build.
  15. Javlin
    Starting to build the mines this attempt #2 it will be on the deck.I ordered some chain @36links per inch from Blue Jacket am I right in the thought process in 1/72 scale about a 3/4' link?
  16. Javlin
    Thanks for the likes and interest fellas a little more today.I installed railing on the back deck,built trunnion for Quad,installed PE above tubes and started adding the mags for the 20mm up front.I am basically working inside out like most builds even planes.I keep finding more I can do more with the Quad using some of Eduards PE We'll see.I definitely adding the Eduard PE mags they fit better than the kits and I have a few more than the kit supplied.I noticed tonight I have to make some 37mm rounds 4/5 would look good stacked in the gun.
  17. Javlin
    I am building this up on a sister site for a GB and finally starting to move along some.I am adding the Quad to the back moved the 37mm to the center position and a single 20mm up front.The kit did not supply the mines for the racks out back so I will making those with the boxes.I would say that I am about 50% complete ATTM.The cabin is just laid in place for fitting/checking issue looks to be good to go I intend to gloss some things in the area of the cabin esp. Torpedo tubes and wash/highlight. If you are interested in looking : https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/18831-revell-s-100-schnellboat-172/

  19. Javlin
    You did Good.
  20. Javlin
    Alan that really looks Sasweet and all the effort paid off!! Great Job!
  21. Javlin
    Nice ,Quick and Efficient work Andy.I do not play in 1/72 much anymore but I do like that upper one-piece wing design.
  22. Javlin
    Don't sell it short Rob looks stunning just sitting there.Me I am doing the S-100 1/72 the PE will keep one busy still studying paints? and it's "Get Wet"
  23. Javlin
    I like the demarcation on this build morso than the Buffalo as far as scale effect goes.Should look sharp when done!
  24. Javlin
    Looking good Mike.
  25. Javlin

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.
