    read down from this post. I would try 60% and increase if necessary but you'll need some layers

    If you can afford one now, even if it unjustifiable, don't wait until you can't buy it anymore. I bought one last year, and I knew I wouldn't use it straight away, but I had the money. I just recently used it to make a tray for a paintshaker for small paint bottles (Tamiya, Vallejo, etc). This year I will be buying some accessories for it, and if I "feel lucky" I even might get me the thickness sander

    Try 50%, and USE THE BRAND'S OWN THINNER or you have a clogged airbrush Didn't I write on this paint in my build of the H-class tribal (current build)

    The Mini ... the BLMC version or do you mean the Beamer, for the latter doesn't even come close to driving Mini
  6. cog
    making th drawings is most of the work though, well done
  7. cog
    about the running ... well something British ... good choice though since they are hard to come by, I wouldn't mind to take a spin in either a Ferrari 250 GTO or a Jag D-type

    thought to finish the railings today, but work had different plans. I've been tackled before I could even start ... ah well, there will be other days and weekends ... seydlitz needs to wait a wee bit longer

    very confusing the Yamato behind it ... you really are a freight train at speed ... lovely work on those structures
  10. cog
    You're getting more proficient with PE
  11. cog
    Isn't silk a possible candidate, WEFalk
  12. cog
    you have been very busy. Did you etch the brass yourself or has that been done elsewhere? glasing looks marvelous. You are getting very skilled at those miniatures

    In your dreams mate ... in your dreams. Tomorrow (Sunday) first some work to be done, after I hope to finish riggin on the H-class build. That would bve nice, I could continue with the SS after that ... - hull has been glued, and portholes drilled, not much to show yet
  14. cog
    Got the PE today ... an f-word lot of money for little PE if you ask me, Very disapointed when compared to the Pontos and Sky Hawk for Musashi to this
  15. cog
    inventive, I really like it
  16. cog
    Doing both sides!!!!!!!? Very nice OC. will you shape the rope in a roundish way with pva?
  17. cog
    That's the hand of your youngest? ... Nice rigging. I did the verticals on my current build first too, added the bridge later. Worked a whole lot easier than rigging afterwards, which really is a pain. I presume it is how we evolve as a model bungler

    Funnel looks way better. Moving on like a freight train again ...
  19. cog
    colour at 1:1 you mean
  20. cog
    The triangles you use for strengthning ... could those be a tad to long down the inside wall ... If you bent the railing round the nail, you have had the stanchion crooked before bending. On the Smit Nederland and Rotterdam I only fixed the first few stanchions, then mount it, so you get the bend at the right spot, and can still move the stanchions around. If you want to paint it before you do the final mounting, you kan fix the stanchions with a drop of CA and take the railing of for painting
  21. cog
    Very rough ... sounds like mine ...
  22. cog
    Ok thanks. It's quite dark on the funnel, mebby add some light grey ...?
  23. cog
    Jack, whilst you still can get to it easily, why don't you cut those top masts of and replacce them with a brass rod as you stated. Drill a hole on the spot where you uct it off and CA the rod in. Will be a lot nicer ... you're doing great mate If Sunny needs some help to boss those rafter dwellers around I'll send "the Bitch" as reinforcement
  24. cog
    Did you spray paint the "linoleum" decks or use a brush? It starts to look like a (well used) ship instead of a hull ...
  25. cog
    Didn't help much I reccon ... She won't skin him, than he will be useless to her ... Coventry is much better ... she could also send him to the Netherlands ... on foot

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.
