    You know what he's like ... he builds anything he can lay his hands on masking ... 3mm wide
  2. cog
    That's something to remember Jack. Great idea
  3. cog
    wefalck, I think you are both ...
  4. cog
    live dangerous wefalck ... live on the edge ... as artists seem to do ...
  5. cog
    but then again, you can also use brass paint ...

    If you have some dentist tools - the old fashionned - you could try to replicatie the obvious cuts in wood for the standard, the wood needs to be grainless obviously
  7. cog
    Looking good, I know how much time these obvious simple looking items take ... did the games turned out the way you hoped for ...

    Not to mention the pieces to go with that piece He never stopped since he started!!! Mainly Greg and me ... or was that cursing ....? Denis, we have a proverb: An accident sits in a small corner ... perhaps your tape is just that corner I didn't tell you this, because I don't want anybody to know, but I can't count the times I've been inspecting the floor on hand and knees with a flashlight in my hands, even with a building lamp on the side to get that damned illusive piece ... especially the brass parts are a pain when they jump, you see them flying one way, and you find them in the opposite direction ... i.e. if you find them at all!!! Nice save mate, but don't cut your efforts short, give the other side a brush of paint as you planned! It's not a competition, We want you to do good!!! Even with an admiral shaking her head ... be glad your little friend doesn't laugh behind his paw ...

    IWith a grainy-ish paint you could get the desired effect on smaller scale as well, i.e. to a certain degree
  10. cog
    You have definitely deserved the SR&R Michael. a beautiful result!
  11. 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 ...
  13. cog
    Thank you, yes I did actually
  14. cog
    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
  15. cog
    You can always continue after you retire, I heard you should have enough time by then ... at least, that's what is said ...
  16. 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
  17. cog
    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 ...
  18. cog
    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 ...
  19. cog
    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 ...
  20. cog
    Hmmm, never seen those series ... before my time, but I've seen Simon Templar ... and The Avengers ... probably before your time
  21. cog
    Frank, exceptional, you even got Popeye stumbling over his words!!!
  22. cog
    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
  23. cog
    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
  24. 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(!)
  25. cog
    It's always a pain to get the wrong materials, I hope the supplier made the slip, and sent you the wrong one.

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.
