    Nice interior. I presume you use plastic for the cushions e.a. have you ever tried milliput or another one of those putties to make you cushions? You can shape them a lot easier ... just a thought which came up when I saw those "pillow rows" ... Cheers

    I think Pat meant those plastic garden vegetable covers, like this: but instead of half round, squarish. You only need a plank, two or three pieces if metal wire and clear plastic

    Mahlzeit!! Temporary ... cling film/food wrap over a frame ...

    Hmmm, I'll have a go at some of mine, and try a few different approaches.

    Dull down the wooden deck ... more like coffee it up! I wouldn't be spraying coffee all over it, but get some different shades of pastels from light wood to dark and work that in with a hard bristled brush with a straight end instead of pointed, and work it in gradually. I bought an "artists" set of pastels (12 colours), and used those on the G class destroyer's decks. On a wooden deck I would have to get a few additional colours, as sets are quite limited with respect to a modeller's needs. those tri-coloured barrels look marvelous on that dark blue turret

    (that came from way deep down ) I'm working on getting a shoal

    Getting crowded on the deck ... if it would be much higher, it could be a Japanese pagoda like superstructure!! Looks good. You don't drill the portholes?

    Those are the metal stanchions from Tamiya? You really pick a nice sizable object for that kind of work ... to keep your fingers in shape and pretty much flexible? ... she does look good, even without those pesky posts ... but "a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do" ... I think I'll stay in the whimp corner ... I am better suited for that ... messed up the hull of the big one the day before Yesterday ... since humidity has risen and temperatures dropped, paint dries slowly ... I had some lovely runners ... back to stage one ... sanding/priming/sanding/priming/..., so I am of by miles when it comes to stanchions ...

    Sooner the other way around ,,, She made ours!!!

  11. cog

    I'll wat for Wednesday .. but keep in mind you do not start to look like popeye, and try to keep several builds in the air at one time ... 9I'm guilty meself too) Not to shabby those railings Those really give a finishing touch now you are nearing completion ...
  13. cog
    certainly worth the wait Kees. If all your next updates are like this we are in for a promising ride

    something European, continental & without guns for a change... count me in!

    If B&W are taken properly, it enhances the items in the image. Colour tends to distract from the content. Taking a good colour picture is relatively easy, compared to taking a good B&W ... without software manipulation, like improving contrast, richness, texture ... that is a lot harder

    Daria, Another milestone. Work well done, some light sanding, and you have a beautiful hull
  17. cog
    ... and glue me tweezers to the ez line ?!?!?
  18. cog
    Should have seen his Dreadnaught, or the Yamato, to him this is fairly straight forward ... to us mere mortals ...

    OC, less hard liquor :) 'arry, ain't that Aussie clever :D Jack, must 'ave been an 'ickup at the server. Can get it now. Sorry old boy, unfortunately not much of interest for me to build in that list
  20. cog
    Thanks Jack, but I can't get to the History of the Irsih Navy - seems to be non existent - or they don't like Dutch ... (or just me :huh: ) The ship ... I just find modern ships ugly, squarish, and lacking any form but for CAD and the D should read "development" instead of "design" as design has something of creativity in it ... so ... not much chance of an Irish build there ...
  21. cog
    It's been a while since I had my last smile .. Good to have you back at the workbench
  22. cog
    I've got this Nipon "kannie see nie boot" waitin' But I would like to build a Tone class battlecruiser ...
  23. cog
    Got me there mate. That's why I'm not native Irish :D just DD :P So tell me then, laddy, what destroyer (class) or cruiser was part of the Irish naval forces from 1918 to 1945. Might give her a go ...
  24. cog
    I wondered whom would start about it, you or Ken ... Scotland, Ireland and Wales are part of the RBN anyway so that was an easy one All in one
  25. cog
    I know, but not in my ship's collection! So far I'm limited to R(B)N, RAN, and am working on RCN, after that RNZN, Scotland and Wales Dealing to much with DP&H?

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.
