    Really looking very nice as the details build up. There are so many things of interest on the model, it’s a pleasure to look at. Alan
  22. king derelict
    You have made a beautiful and evocative model. The details are wonderful and your log is both informative and engaging to read. alan

    Looks great Dan. Rigging still frightens me so I’m not sure when I’ll dust off the biplanes in the pile. alan

    A quick postscript. Thank you very much to @DocRob and @amateur for pointing out the error of leaving the shield in gloss finish. I agree it should have a matte finish and this has now been done. Thanks again for the help. alan
  25. king derelict
    Thank you very much OC. Pegaso make some excellent figures and a wide range of subjects. I’m hoping to be in Europe in January and I’m wondering if I can grab a couple while I’m there. alan
  26. king derelict
    Thank you very much Phil. alan

    Thank you very much Jan A dragon would be a perfect addition. Unfortunately my dragon is rather uncooperative. So it might have to be another of these hooligans. alan

    Thank you very much Rob. I need to try to sketch out the outline of the device and then see if I can freehand paint it but the paper cutout was a surer option. Maybe next time on something a bit simpler. Thank you for the feedback about the shield. I sealed the lion with gloss medium and never gave it a thought. You are right, it should be matte and I’ve just given it a coat of matte varnish. alan

    Thank you very much Ken. There was a point when I was regretting not going with the gold and blue simple halves. Assuming he’s not on standby for a car crash that hammer is a nasty piece of work and someone could get hurt. alan

    Thank you very much Andrew. I still fancy that Owen Glendwyr figure but I think that might be a challenge too far. alan
  31. king derelict
    Thank you very much Jack. You and @Old Collingwood have been a great help in mastering the basic techniques. alan

    I completed the dagger and sword and then attached everything to the figure. The attachment points are substantial enough that the ca glue grips after a short time holding the part and there is no tendency for the part to sag. I decided to leave the base as it is so this one is finished. i rather wish I had gone for the open face mail and kettle helmet instead of the helm but this was a bit different. I’m deciding on the next project. I’m thinking of a return to the maritime world. Thank you all for looking in, the likes and the comments. alan

    I’ve cut up and added the lion to the front of the surcoat. Somehow it now looks a little low but otherwise it went well. I used a lot of diluted white glue to get the lion to sit in the creases. I started working on the base. I used yellow ochre and picked out the rocks with sky grey which I scrubbed with a cotton bud while it was wet which’s to add extra tones to the rocks as the underlying colour comes through. A bit of grass has been dotted around and I may add a couple of tufts of long grass but I’m assuming stuff like that probably got a good trampling. sword is ready to add, the dagger needs finishing and we’re almost there. Thanks for looking in, the likes and comments alan

    Thank you very much Phil. I think the lions are about as near to card modeling as I will ever get. 😁 alan
  35. king derelict
    Thank you very much OC, I’m glad to have the lions finished. 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.
