    Did this today Swordfish about to land on Merchant Aircraft Carrier. Rapana, which has pulled out of the convoy with a Corvette escort to recover her. Rapana was an oil tanker fitted with a flight deck. She carried her normal cargo, but had four anti submarine Swordfish to help protect the convoy. Although no a/c fron a MAC ever sank a submarine, no ship was ever sunk from a convoy that had a Mac Ship in it 16" X 11"

    Hi Rob, I'm afraid I can't really help you with my painting techniques. I haven't studied, nor been trained in watercolour painting. Infact I use the same technique doing the actual painting whether it is watercolours, Acrylic or even Oils. ( although it's been several years since I used oils.). Basically, I draw the ships, then colour them in. Unless it is an actual location or event, I paint the sea as I go. No tonal studdies. No thumbnail sketches of composition. No use of warm/cool colours (not intentionally anyway) I see what I want in my minds eye and go for it. I something start of with the idea of a painting, and by the time I'm finished it has completely changed. Hope this helps jim

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.
