    Coming along nicely. The 'Dino' has always struck me as the best looking Ferrari roadster. Watched Roger Moore and Tony Curtis as the Persuaders. The lump of a car (Aston Martin) simply emphasised how pretty the 'Dino' was.

    I am fortunate to own two SL's and a 3 in 'mint' condition. Weather you use them or not they make splendid objets d'art.

    Oh! Isn't this lovely? https://cars.bonhams.com/auction/18362/lot/30/c1942-triumph-343cc-3hw-frame-no-tl-45673-engine-no-56762/

    Splendid work! It was common practice with British military vehicles, (including motorcycles) that just about all metal components were painted the same colour, olive or khaki, including engine, rims, hubs and spokes. There was no 'bright work', the exhaust system would be black.

    Sound advice from Kevin, David. Out of the box builds are a clever introduction to the hobby. By the time you've finished you'll have learned a lot. With a bit of luck you will develop the enthusiasm this forum is built upon.

    This may help...

    Many happy and fond memories holidaying at Filey as a child during the '60s. Hours exploring the 'Brig's' rockpools, being cut off by the tide and having to climb the cliff to escape. High adventure for a boy back in the days when you could disappear on your own from dawn 'till dusk.

    Well done Chad, nice job. Having seen plenty of real Spitfires parked up over the years, it's rare to see a model with the correct dihedral angle of the wings, which always look too 'flat'. Being a distinctive Spitfire feature, it's obvious when not there. No criticism of your build; it's the kit.
  31. shipman
    Yet another of your splendidly handsome builds. Sublime. Thanks again for another journey of discovery.

    KP, it's your build, to do with as you please. Loving your approach, but remember the body panels were aluminium. Usually paint lifts in flakes and patches, the metal taking on a white powdery 'bloom', no rust. More and more interesting as this develops.

    Those are witness marks from pins that push the sprues out of the molds, the bane of the older plastic kits.

    I admire the results you are presenting I'm having to re-address what I accept is modelling/model making. It's undeniable the fidelity achievable using 3D printing is impressive. Progress is in the eye of the beholder and its justification no doubt will be ''it's just another tool''. No doubt this tech is here to stay and will develop, but it is another aspect of the hobby only accessible to those with deeper pockets than mine. As I say, I admire the results displayed on a project such as this, but wonder what impact it will have on the hobby as a whole. The paradigm has shifted. And I just got older.

    Splendid rendition of your spoked wheels; what did you use as spoke nipples? Features such as these really make or break a model and can distract from a host of other issues. Much like the small boats on a ship model. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh, how I miss 'Broadside's' contributions.

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.
