    IWith a grainy-ish paint you could get the desired effect on smaller scale as well, i.e. to a certain degree
  2. cog
    You have definitely deserved the SR&R Michael. a beautiful result!
  3. cog
    No, I'll definitely make HMS Glowworm, but I'll probably make the kit's intended ship too. Then I only need a Kiwi ship to make the commonwealth series, since I got Vendetta as Aussie representative, maybe Hoff00 can help me on a Kiwi destroyer

    although assumption is the mother of all FUs, you are right. only two sets my friend. That has got to do with the way they set up their spues, as little deviation as possible ...
  5. cog
    Thank you, yes I did actually

    Good progress Denis. You could paint the forwar gun dark grey, even both, when you look at the run of your camouflage. I replaced the "peddestal legs" with brass rod. Nice an strong, even at 0.3mm

    You can always continue after you retire, I heard you should have enough time by then ... at least, that's what is said ...
  8. cog
    Now that would be near impossible to believe ... Never seen you very lonesome matey ... besides I keep on visiting the Vendetta log ... often in vain

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!! ... no pictures. Still waiting on the books I ordered. Got the camouflage book on destroyers, sloops, corvettes, and other smaller vessels. Interesting picsies. I might make a second one of these G & H class's ... or keep on changing the camo until I've got what I like ...

    I've used Vallejo varnish, but was advised to use a rattle can. In my build of a Fokker Dr1 I found that Vallejo paints mixed rather easily even after drying(!) so I presume they have a likewise effect when varnished ...

    Ah someone from the dark ages I saw somewhere you are going into P&P like MFD - come to think of it that's a bit like MFU ... the Man From Uncle ...
  12. cog
    Hmmm, never seen those series ... before my time, but I've seen Simon Templar ... and The Avengers ... probably before your time
  13. cog
    Frank, exceptional, you even got Popeye stumbling over his words!!!

    Denis, You can find railings in PE for USN ships, or RN, etc. You can also buy stanchions in PE or metal and thread them yourself (like I did on the O16 build here), and Greg did on Yamato and a few others of his Japanese home fleet. The railing you can do with either very thin copper/brass wire, or thread, e.g. like I used on the Vendetta for the rigging ... you shall certainly work something out to make the Arizona shine, like she should and not be a cheap lookng model

    I think he's run out of batteries, Denis ... far to silent for The Man From Downunder (something like the Man From Snowy River ) Have you noticed he uses the wrong letters: RGL => MFD
  16. cog
    Scott, They'll probabl only learn the hard way, so good on you. Take care they'll not push the shipping down your throat(!)
  17. cog
    It's always a pain to get the wrong materials, I hope the supplier made the slip, and sent you the wrong one.
  18. cog
    At least we are certain you are not from the other sex ... are you now ...
  19. cog
    Nice saves, Denis. As you see, you'll be needing some additional PE ... strictly a kit bound set doesn't work ... Progressing steadily!
  20. cog
    Wonderful, Michael. You make her shine. Funnels look good. I was afraid you might pull some paint off with the masking tape, glad it turned out so well
  21. cog
    An update will do Denis, "somesort" ... plain will be fine
  22. cog
    Out of sight out of mind ... I think not spinach-man you come with your questions, we'll give you an answer - if it's the right one ... you may wonder ... and eventually find out
  23. cog
    Greg's a masochist, he does everythng by hand

    Michael, Greg (RGL) has had some problems too with Vallejo primer on brass and plastic. He pointed me towards the Tamiya, as it dries very quickly and you can spray immediately after if needs be. Naturally it's better to let it cure for a day. Although, I have been quite impatient with priming, and the results are good.with my neglected curing period. It is better to spray outside or a ventilated room with a fan to suck the vapours out. I have an attick above the garage where I have my spray booth, so I won't get the stench into the house. With Vallejo I could pull whole sheets of primer of and lay bare the brass again, even after a month curing ...
  25. cog
    Well, as long as do not need to keep them open all night, because you are shaving something ... doing a fine job, whilst you keep your mind on it, and do not bother to much about me watching you ...

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.
