    Some pics of the paint guys and I have taken some liberties.The leather and metal band(steel) they would have you leave it all Azure Blue.The cowling was suppose to be steel went Aluminum Alclad .I am about to embark on looking for more pics for the final paint(small stuff) as far as wethering just some accented panels and a little more.Blades will be deployed. I hope this works that Helo part of you Lou almost got a Huey today may still at 40% off at HL.

    Oh No you don't you cheated Dan I wanted to see you labor for hours on those stencils! She's looking good Sir.

    Alan missed the build but that is sweet!Does not look 1/72 at all.

    I thought I throw up some pics before I close her up today not the greatest pics either but Photography is not my major The decals for the IPs were individual made the lenses out of Future about three layers.The kit though not complicated like Craig's tank thus far has been a nice kit with the right amount of PE parts in my opinion.The final product will be the depiction on the boxart the most colorful.
  6. Javlin
    Regardless the work looks great Craig these kits lend this selves more to a repair dio?
  7. Javlin
    You pulled off a masterpiece Sir!
  8. Javlin
    The camo looks very good for your first attempt have fun with the glass.

    Thks Denis wrong front N.Africa.
  12. Javlin
    Thks Dan a long build for me but it paid off in the end ICM kits are Nice! Oh Dan as to the clear parts I attached them first for good adhesion then with a q-tip slightly damp I coated the clear parts with Future.

    Working on the Auto-gyro now Craig doing the French Navy scheme when I get further along will post pics just started last night.
  14. Javlin
    Looking good Craig but as to the tracks what you are doing should work smaller tip glue applicator/brush?RFM gives the builder a jig to assemble the tracks my armor experience is pretty limited.

    Thks Mark it's only my second build in thirty years of the He-111 out of 250 built. Yes Sir I am going to agree with you today I spent some hours on this one doing layers the sun kind of bleached things out a bit may do some indoor pics? Thks OC like your Waterloo though not as intensive as yours different results can take time. N.Africa schemes whether Axis/Allied are a bird of a different flock.Thks. You are correct Yves about the variety of kits they are producing/quality I think ICM is fast approaching Tamyia standards in the future for me it will be Revell of Germany,ICM or Eduard.Which leads me to the next project(s) is it the Eduard Mustangs(3)?I have an affliction for ReCon crates.

    Thks Craig I have a deep affinity to ICM kits now they are a joy to build.A little feature the wing tip lights have a long extension that fits into the wing being clear of course you paint that part and the color goes to the lens.I thought it was kind of neat . Thks Ken.
  17. Javlin
    I am calling this one finished guys.I did add with a bit of a cuss factor the external gun sights.
  18. Javlin
    Thks Craig I just about had a small flub when reglueing the top piece some glue oozed out made it a little glossy when to go hit with a brush/flat clear will .... the brush must on been dingy So out came the Africa 1942 color had pastels at the ready a light touch of paint and before it could even think about drying on went the pastels it's working called it quits for the night.
  19. Javlin
    Thks OC and Dan This one is getting into the home stretch little stuff finish the gear,antenna,prop hubs,lights and aerials.
  20. Javlin
    Thks Alan!I am basically done with the shading little things here and there nothing major though.She starting to look like a He-111 now the sides of the fuse and tail are not done as hard as the areas exposed to direct light.
  21. Javlin
    Looking Good Chris!
  22. Javlin
    Liking that Gun platform Craig!
  23. Javlin
    I busted out a box of pastels using a light white grey and an even lighter sand mixed started some blending.I had the airbrush set up with some flat I coat spray coat till I was happy....I think I am happy with the wings and the L/Tailplane.The build is starting to come together just longer than most for me at least it's getting artistic ATTM.
  24. Javlin
    What you fellas think got some powders laid down?I think a little to much yellow actually a sand color but might lay over a light grey to tone it down it's an experiment

    Thks Denis thinking about the next move

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.
