It's finished now. I'll take pictures and videos tomorrow... 😪

 

USS Aries (PHM-5) is a museum ship in Missouri. These are my reference pages.

I started from printing a custom display stand for the boat.

A new drill machine. :)

I drilled all the windows and polished them one by one.

Not the best windows... They are OHP films.

I found that the Trumpeter's PE parts are not better than Flyhawk's. It is really difficult to fit the PE parts of the antenna tower.

Designed and printed more parts. :)

AND added handrail parts.

They are 50% thicker than the real railings. The real railings are 3 inches thick.

Better than the poor assembly of PE parts. :)

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.
