Yipeee!!! I've finished the dauntless! Today last bits have been glued on and the decals put on. There may be some paint touch up to do but that's it. I'm happy with the final product, but the Admiral has said and I quote "I don't mind a ship or two but I'm not having any bloody planes knocking about" so in a box it will go to be forgotten in the model graveyard of the loft.😕😕😥😭 Thankyou all for hanging on in with me and all the comments, likes and off build conversations 👍 it's been a fun change from wood and I will definitely be doing another although I don't know what subject matter yet, but don't tell the Admiral 🤫 So the photos: thanks again everyone who has followed or looked in, stay safe and Cheers 👍😉😊😊

I do buildings when my grandkids school projects require it but also used to scratch wargaming scenery in 28mm and 15mm scale. I've still got some terrain builds in a box in the loft. If this carries on I might start making more as I don't need to buy materials for it, I just use cardboard and other stuff that would usually get thrown away.

I was able to get into the workroom today and got some more done on the dauntless, basically there is only the decals to go on. The canopy painting went ok, not brilliant, definitely won't win any prizes for neatness but it's passable. (Except the rear piece which I broke when I dropped it on the floor then stepped on as I got up to retrieve it 🤬) Thanks for the kind words and likes. Cheers 😁👍 Before go I have a question, can I put a matt clear coat on before the decals or after?

I found the same thing, I ended up stripping some heavy duty earth cable for the .5mm copper. She's gonna look good considering the problems you had at the start with the de-lamination. Great job😁👍

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.
