    If you clear-coat the model, it will cover the color variation pretty well. It worked well with my Solferino.

    Working on the ladders: Work is going really slowly on them. Even on normal sized models, ladders are difficult for me. But at 1/200 scale, they are a royal pain. We all have one fitting that we don’t like. Ladders are that fitting for me.

    Looking good! Looking forward to seeing the figurehead! There’s an Intro to Carving Group here that was a fantastic resource for me!

    Can you ground your wrist out on the building walls or roof?

    Rest your wrist and hand on a sponge and use a 000 brush. I bought the Qualrite set of detail brushes (note: these are artist’s brushes and not model brushes) off of Amazon and they have worked amazingly well for miniatures. The 000 brush works great for insignia at 28mm scale. The sponge soaks up the vibration from your wrist. Given the choice, I would prefer to put my wrist down on something solid to ground it out, but with where you’re trying to work, the sponge would inflict less damage.

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.
