Check at an artists supply place. You're looking for a 10/0 Liner brush. About .3mm wide.

Same in English (from either side of the pond), Carl. Pretty diligent digging up those 3D parts. Congrats.

Youngsters are into building kits anymore. And a lot of oldsters, too. Prebuilt planes and trains are in. Craftsmanship is growing more uncommon.

Nicely done, Carl. Turned out well.

Yeah, mark. Although way back when any idea of using a primer was not in my work ethic. Learned that with airplane models.

I remember that stuff, kind of a tan color? Absorbed paint like a sponge, too. Used it a lot for custom car models.

Sometimes the brass is too soft and ends up pretty wavy. Not good for masts and the like.

Never been a fan of steel PE. You only get one shot at folding it.

Sign me up, too. And I'll go for an Italian water ice, please. Any flavor will do. I know Greg will be putting on a tour de force with this dreadnought.

I've used fine grained auto body filler (Bondo here in the US) to even out the divots on plastic. Has a strong odor, so wear a good chemical vapor mask. And do it outdoors (peace in the family, lads). I have also seen folks using superglue with fillers. But you need to sand smooth fairly soon after you do that. Otherwise the superglue gets harder than the plastic and you remove the wrong parts.

Ah, well do I remember the good(?) sisters applying ruler to knuckles. Not too often luckily. The Brothers I studied under used chalkboard erasers as standoff weapons as needed. Particularly recalcitrant pupils were invited out back for thrashings. We had some big obnoxious kids in high school (I was a math & science nerd, so avoided those run-ins).

Well, I guess it was a little off-putting, OC. Stiff upper lip and all that, eh, what? Or as that infamous cartoon character said: "Doh!"

Bell peppers? Good stuffed and roasted, excellent with eggs and put into a sandwich. And a staple in some Mexican dishes. Yummy.

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.
