    Thanks to all for the interest👍 Thank you for the advice about the cockpit Chris. Wing framing continues, as does lamination of the parts that require it. Began making up the control stick for the cockpit, and boy did it fail big time! that scruffy, silver, little so called roll of paper is supposed to be the joystick 😂 a toothpick, sanded to size and painted flat aluminium has been pressed into service. I think a lot more practice on the rolling tightly is needed. Thanks for looking in. Cheers

    This will be my first serious foray into proper card kit models, as I've dabbled with free printable models with very little sucess😬 I have been following several of @ccoyle aircraft build logs, and the Paper Shipwright Puffer build by @AJohnson which all of which tipped me over the edge, and broke my resistance to buy a card kit. Anyhow, with Mr Coyle speaking highly of this manufacturer, the order button was hit and here we go! Hopefully I can make a half decent effort of it.😊 Purchased with the laser cut parts from Draf Models Poland I've started to glue the parts that need to be thicker. I'm using a Copydex type glue for this as I'm waiting for the 3m spray mount to be delivered. Also glueing the framework for the wings, Ive found that my all purpose generic Stanley knife is a tad too unwieldy for cutting out the smaller pieces. Obviously the order button has been hit again and a scalpel handle with no.11 blades(100) is on its way. More will follow, so if you're watching thank you👍 Cheers

    welcome to MSW. With the Internet a huge part of life nowadays, the option to get almost anything from anywhere has made getting materials for our hobby easier. If you need quality wood may I suggest Hobbymill EU, who is a sponsor and a site member, for kits or fittings, @Chuck, Syren Shipmodel Company and @chris watton, Vanguard Models, also both members and sponsors on here. All in all I think we're pretty well catered for. Edit #2 if you check out the section where the sponsors are, I think you'll find practically everything you might need.

    Tip top job Craig, it looks very close to the Angel Interceptors from Captain Scarlet, so perhaps not such a big leap into sci-fi after all.

    Very nice finish! With the others in the stable, it makes a good looking trio. Most definitely in for the Mossie.

    Nicely done Glenn, I do wish I'd thought of a temporary scaffold, as my hand was numb holding the top piece in place😬 Keep up the good work 👏
  22. Edwardkenway
    Very realistic looking lighting! Excellent work. Perhaps figure a way to make them spiral gently to the oceans swell😁😉

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.
