    As far as I understand the hairspray technique just involves 1 (Primer first) Then A base coat of the colour you eventually want to show through as chips (eg rust red for a vehicle for eg) 2 Spray hairspray lightly on. Note some hairsprays perform better than others, may need to google online best versions) 3 After allowing to dry paint the final coat of the main colour of the subject. 4 Once dry, use a stiff bristle brush/toohpicks and with Water, scrub and scratch where you want chips to appear. With wood wear effects I prefer painting a seires of different p

    Funnily enough I was thinking about the hull painting on my Endeavour and think will go for the natural wood look.

    I found the tool rest too short in width, but also the tightening knob would also get in the way of the cutting tool. I've since replaced the plastic knob supplied with a wingnut arrangement which is much better.

    Love your work. The attention to detail is amazing. I'm hoping to use a lot of your great photos and information about this build with my own attempt at the Dreadnought. I have the Pontos PE, but am also sourcing other companies to complement the build. Thanks for the great contribution you have made to this great ship.

    Can someone let me know the recommended internal dimensions of a display case for the Caldecraft Endeavour 1/64 scale ship? I'm making a wooden glass display case but haven't yet completed the model.

    Just a quick note to say how much I admire your build log. Excellent detail followed by excellent photos. Very inspiring, and sets a very high standard.

    Thanks for the help guys! appreciate the feedback. I have looked at a lot of views of planked hulls on the internet and have seen the majority appear to have the planks below the wales butting the sides of the planks above. Including the Endeavour replica ship! However It does appear more aesthetic if not realistic to have the planks all meeting the stem.

    Thanks normanh. I agree with the bulkheads. managed to finish the planking in this area finally. Need to sand and varnish later.

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.
