    No pivoting parts ... nicely stuck together with CA ... probably not a pretty sight either
  2. cog
    I hope there is some hull left. You've been sanding for quite a while ... How's life? Missing your updates, Crhis ...
  3. cog
    Bit more of the fiddly stuff, and the bend tool I use most ...
  4. cog
    It does keep him busy, druxey ...

    Running in safe mode Sjors

    Can hardly tell the difference KP ... hard choice to make ... Turned out rather spiffy ... You really think there were windows ...The cap'n on an open bridge ... to hoist the boats snuggling in a cosy cabin ...
  7. cog
    Are those a bit "greasy"
  8. cog
    Who would have expected that ...? Very lovely turnbuckles, I am astonished by what you accomplish at that scale, and most of all the number of parts you can make separately. I would be happy if I could make it as a single piece!!!

    Second photograph, "pencils" on the left, are those for lithograph? Nice assortment of leads and "holders"(?) From the latter I got some from my grandfather, but for some reason I use mostly the modern ones ... (from 20 odd years ago )

    Greg not all Oerlikons from the RN had shields, I do not know the details when or why, still looking for more data

    Thank you Pat, I think I'd best refrain from the rum until the fat lady sang her last chord on the tripplets. "The ... gets going" already
  12. cog
    You are part of the fiddly community now

    Denis, Progress exists! well done, you noticed I did trim the depth markers. Measured them out and snip, snip ...With regards to the "lame" Arizona kit ... maybe you are the one which makes it the perfect ship ... scratch building and all ... you've got the extra PE, plastic you can use from the sprues ... what's in a challenge when it's easy ... you always like to do it the hard way ... a bit of ranting can't do you harm, just motivates the you know what out of you!!!

    Those flota rafts turned out marvelous OC. Very well done for scratch
  15. cog
    I've got the same ones, the brass/PE that is. Would like to lay my hands on the real deal ... nice garden ornament
  16. cog
    and you didn't !?
  17. cog
    Yeah right, I find it to be the other way around. Haven't seen a PE/brass tripple AA gun on the smaller ones yet!
  18. cog
    Have you tried that on 2mm wide "plating"?
  19. cog
    I've got them 4 barreled guns 3D printed, and those are tiny ... very well done Dan The bollards, vents and guns ... eye screwingly impressive
  20. cog
    Very well done ... I wonder how you do it, when your camera has that much trouble focusing on it
  21. cog
    thanks for your answer. Your weathering is hardly visible, but nevertheless realistic, more so than if done to heavily
  22. cog
    Yu can make them with sculpy or something like milliput
  23. cog
    Just finished ... need a few hardly visible touch-ups, When I paint the deck furniture, I have to give a very light spray o gray on the port bow, just not enough coverage ... and a way to get the shading of the plating straight!
  24. cog
    Pitty, that's better than tripple AA's
  25. cog
    The brush-on doesn't give you the finish you want, besides it clogs up thos little openings you have with PE, it would be a sin to loose such detail ... you can try the testors on the "fret" of some PE ... Normally, where Tamiya pot paint is sold, they sell the cans. Tamiya makes you bleed to sell their products, you have to take the line or you don't get to sell it here in Europe. On the other hand it is good ... Ah, yes before I forget. IF you want to thin Tamiya down, take the thinner with the blue cap, it thins apperantly better than the accrylic one (white cap) I have to order one such bottle, since I bought the white one <bummer> I tried water on accrylics to thin them down, but I was not impressed with it at all, so now I use brand speciffic thinners. With the present warmth 30ºC (we have had a heat wave) I used some stuff to make it dry less quickly as well

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.
