    Your Cobra model is an absolute beaut, Rob. Great finishing. Demanding kit to build, I would bet it feels pretty solid holding it. I made a bollocks of the bonnet hinges on my Fiat 806. I eventually just put it down as wabi sabi.

    Another jewel in your remarkable collection Chris! Meticulous bit of craft, really well done. I enjoyed following along the journey with you,

    Hi Nigel - enjoy your upcoming build in the new year! Have to agree with toolmaker Paul’s suggestions, decent tweezers and particularly those collapsible eye needles have been exceptionally useful in practice.
  26. Tim Moore
    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.
  27. Tim Moore
    A lovely finish in all respects. Very well done, a pleasure to view your work.
  28. Tim Moore
    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.
  29. Tim Moore
    Well done AL producing Bounty’s big brother - well presented! Got a fine result from the Bounty kit.

    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.
  31. 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.
  32. Tim Moore
    A sensational work of art and craft!
  33. Tim Moore
    Incredible Rob! Just catching up on the build, you really nailed it. It’s a jewel.
  34. Tim Moore
    It’s another beauty! Very well done, especially with all those challenges.
  35. Tim Moore
    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.

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.
