    I build models to escape, to occupy my busy hands and mind. It gives me something to do where I am only answerable to myself. The process is important to me, and I get a sense of accomplishment, although, like a jigsaw puzzle, I only rarely bother to look at them when finished. The historical association is also important, getting to know and appreciate the subject matter. Nobody in my family or close to me ever built models, so for me there is no familial association or trigger.

    Well I think it is an outstanding sub presentation to my eye. Bravo! And I appreciated you showing all the steps in the water building.

    Hi Chris. This is the process I have followed on colour boundaries on my hulls and it has given me good results. I usually take the tape up soon after I’m finished rather than let everything harden. Seems to work best. I usually only use latex paints. Thukydides is quite right you usually want to do the darkest colour last, but in your case I imagine there would be difficulty trying to set tape on that small element, which is also curving opposite to the plane of the masking tape.
  23. Tim Moore
    I would paint the upper as you plan to do, mask it off, brush on any clear finish on the rail to perfectly seal off the edge of the tape, then paint the rail. You should get a good result if you do that.

    A sensational work of art and craft!

    Incredible Rob! Just catching up on the build, you really nailed it. It’s a jewel.

    It’s another beauty! Very well done, especially with all those challenges.

    Thanks Shipman, and you are quite right, I have demonstrated a willful disregard for historical authenticity! To be honest I thought about a desert version but it came down to paint I had on hand.
  31. Tim Moore
    Thanks Rob, appreciate your comments, great to hear from the North Channel! Just took a look at your Crocker build, wow that is going to be pretty amazing methinks. I will have to pass on Egilmans ‘honey I shrunk the bike’ award to you when you pull that together.

    Those spokes look pretty good against a dark background…

    Thanks to everyone for dropping in….like the sound of the Manx bike for a future project, and am totally humbled by Kim’s house motorcycle model collection. Just some more cabling to finish, decals and final detail painting etc and I’ll wrap this up. Still have to go back and reset the slightly troublesome fork/frame connection so it works correctly. For the saddlebags I glued on a bit of old thin denim on the plastic and then stained it. Probably not quite scale but hoped it would visually suggest a canvas type fabric.
  34. Tim Moore
    Haha very good thanks Egilman.
  35. Tim Moore
    Thanks CDW, Shipman and Rick! Patrick that is a lovely rendition of this kit. Very authentic looking I can almost taste the rust on that exhaust. Just finishing up the handlebars and a few other mechanicals. This Italeri kit may be old but it builds up to a pretty good looking model. Kind of wish there were others at this scale.

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.
