More coloring brass questions
bigcreekdad posted a topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
I'm building the Erycina. The directions say to prime, then paint the brass fittings. Does anyone do this? If so, what do you prime with? Thanks -
Very nice work! While I am in the middle of a smaller kit right now, you have inspired me to go back to my uncompleted Cheerful. I stopped when I just could not get a decent drop plank cut. It always ticks me off when I look at her. I'm not usually a quitter, but this somehow frustrated me greatly. Glad I didn't sell my Jim saw and thickness sander yet.

Not looking for freighters, but any other type of work vessel, fishing vessel, or fighting ship. Aside from the Niagra, does anyone know of any others?

My first build was Caldercraft's Sherbourne. I might build Chris' version. I like cutters/

I received this as a gift, but with not too many starts left in me, I decided to do something a bit simpler. My first ship was a cutter by Jotika, which I enjoyed building. I really like the look of Vanguard's Cutter Alert and thought maybe that's what I should try next. In any case, I m going try selling the Grecian kit. It's been opened but that's it. Asking $325 US, plus shipping from 43528 (USA only). Message me if any interest.

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.
