Steve, it has to be taken under consideration by the builders guild, and skipping grades is only done very rarely. Nowing the type of men, the journeyman is out of your grasp anyway, the leap is by far to steep, besides that last redo killed any chance on that one, even apprenticeship may be a no go because of that. You would be back sweeping floors ... with or without (sweep?)walker

The Vallejo airbrush primer is a definite DON"T, and I really mean don't even try it on brass. There are Vallejo rattle can primers, but I haven't tried them on brass yet, so you'll better steer away from those too for the time being. I will try it soon. Tamiya rattlecan primer is currenty the best available primer for brass. Maybe expensive, but it even sticks on unclean brass parts. I have hands on experience for the latter. Advantage of Tamiya primer: You can use most acrylic (airbrush) paints on it too.

Mark, also known as "Eagle Eye" ... I spotted it too, eagle eye confirmed it, it seems you need to do some "re-bending" Steve. Although it is rather late in the railing season. You might want to use a square piece of wood to set the location of the twists and turns in the horizontal, so you can easily avoid those "hanging" railings. Should have thought of it before, but my age is slowing me down (love the age excuse it can be used on everything) Cheers

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.
