    Your exceptional detailed work is going to result in a spectacular model. It’s quite a puzzle seeing how the aftermarket stuff integrates with the kit and you have done a masterful job of conquering the inadequacies. alan

    Thank you very much OC. I’m still trying to darken the colors as they transition from the lighted side. I used off white for the left iris and pale grey for the right. I’m not sure if it’s all going to make a difference though. alan

    Thank you very much Jeff. Whatever he is planning I somehow doubt it’s the orphans summer picnic. alan

    I’ve been working on the face, trying to get a somewhat nasty cast to Jacques features. Unfortunately I think his hat will obscure quite a bit but I’m fairly happy with how it turned out. I’ve added some gloss to his hair using a stiff bristle brush apply it on the high points of his curls. Matte varnish has been painted on his cloak and it looks considerably better. I've started painting the accessories which are going to be interesting. The lantern and the flask are going to require giving the illusion of glass and for the lantern also the illusion of light. New challenges. I’ve started fiddling with whatever it is that’s lying at the base of the post. I used ivory for the cloth, sail or flag, or even curtains. The cylinder looks wooden so I’ll paint it in a similar way to the base. Thanks for looking in and the likes. alan

    That’s very disappointing after being so close to a sale. Shame, it would be great to see it going to a good home- and some cash flowing the other way Alan

    Thank you very much for the kind words. You may have given me the push I need to get HMS Iron Duke down from the shelf. Alan

    Thank you very much Mike. I’m amazed I got through the build without breaking off some of the barbette guns. Alan

    Thank you very much Mark. I’m still learning with every model. Flyhawk make very well thought out kits with great detail so one of their kits is a good start for a handsome result. Alan

    Getting quite complex Mike. Very nice work. alan

    I continued adding washes to the pants and tunic. I’m using a darker grey on the right side and light grey instead of ivory for the tunic slashes to try to maintain a darker cast to the unlit side. boots have been painted in saddle brown and then polished lightly to add some shine and also let some of the black primer through to show wear. I’m quite pleased with them. The golden hemming and sash fringes are good painted on orange, it seems to look less metallic like that. Hair is black and will get a light gloss added. The eyes have been touched with off white on the left and pale grey on the right. The face will be tomorrows challenge. So far this is proving very nice to paint. Some shine on the cloak will need to be addressed and I’m still not sure I like the grey for the tunic. Thanks for looking in and for the likes Alan

    Jack is back! Now that the Derfflinger is finished it’s time to get back to work on Jacques. The figure was only temporarily glued in place for the zenith Al air brush shading. He was removed and the wooden structure was painted. I used a couple of thin coats of burnt umber and then dry brushed cork brown to give the wood some grain. I’m curious about what the base represents. There is a lamp to go onto the left hand arm but it seems to be a bit substantial for just a lamp. The ground / floor is also wooden so is part of a ship. Alternatively is it a gibberish at the end of a pier? Given l’Olonnaise behavior that doesn’t seem completely inappropriate. Also, I’m trying to work out what is at the bottom of the post, some sort of cloth. And the rectangle at upper right? The figure has been reattached to the base and I’ve started the basic washes on the figure and I’m trying to keep the unlit side of the figure subdued. This is as relaxing as always. I completely forgot that I was supposed to be scrubbing the grout lines on the bathroom floor. Thanks for looking in and for the likes and comments Alan

    Thank you very much Andrew. It was a thoroughly enjoyable build. I just looked over at your Sparkler build. Beautiful work but I’m so sorry to read that you’re having health troubles. It seems to be a nasty wet winter in the UK. Take care and get well Alan

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.
