    That's the whole point about kit bashing, once you start, you're hooked

    Oi Butts, Works with decals on grey as well Haven't seen you crap an airplane yet RGL ...
  3. cog
    What I do: I spray a layer of gloss lacquer, add the decals, when fixed, spray a layer of clear lacquer, satin or mat, and after that shade or weather or whatever
  4. cog
    Quite a difference compared to the kit's, both your guns and your carriages came out wonderful. I can even see the hole for the peg in the axle. Very well done!
  5. cog
    Depends if the shading should pass over the decal or not. If it does it's easy, than it is "Yes", you'll be inventive enough for the other possibillity
  6. cog
    How did you know ... straight forward as always ...
  7. cog
    Another challenge for the Mo ... I would suggest to make a new piece ...
  8. cog
    I would say: "Hang in there mate" you've got still some yards to go ... looking good
  9. cog
    The latter is a must as you would hardly see a line on a slick surface with that hardness. I saw the video's ... very educational. Thanks for pointing those out, Mark
  10. cog
    Impressive, I'll have a look at that video. Are you certain it's a 6H not a 6B pencil? Lines look like they are made with a soft pencil

    With regards to tying down the prop, you could use eybolts, this may be a source. You will probably be able to make something yourself based on these Now I see her at dinner, Steve, she does match your interior quite well

    You've got my work cut out for me ... Great result
  13. cog
    You are getting better, and better at it, Patrick. Each ship shows your progress
  14. cog
    beautiful work Johann. It shows you took the time to prepare!
  15. cog
    'arry, What's a few pounds more or more ... fortunately I couldn't buy it as I'm unable to carry it presently ... you need to build a shed around it
  16. cog
  17. cog
    So no ships or boats, I presume the short refer to destroyers and such ... Well you are building a tank ...
  18. cog
    I've had my eye on the gun, but haven't seen any after market ... and thought it rather expensive, but that may be the case in Europe, whilst it is "afordable" in the US
  19. cog
    yeah, that's the other property of flow improver ........
  20. cog
    Than he should use the Halve Maen, use a Dutch ship not a Swedish one. Furthermore, the name is De Vliegende Hollander, you shouldn't translate names
  21. cog
    flow improver is only useful to distribute the paint evenly, it doesn't help against clogging your brush, or improve the flow from the airbrush
  22. cog
    It's quite limited Tamiya's colour palette. That's why I like Vallejo. Did you dilute the paint (even the model air)?
  23. cog
    always excuses
  24. cog
    love the look of that hull, Jules. Could do with some less elastic bands though ...
  25. cog
    Thank you for sharing your rich history, profession, and hobbies

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.
