Don Jane got a reaction from avsjerome2003 in Gorch Fock by Don Jane - FINISHED - OcCre - Scale 1:95 December 2, 2015

I've made a bit more progress - I have a lot of the trim painted and now I have to do all the touchups !

Well I am making some progress, but i just havn't been posting very much. I now have the hull completed and painted and some of the trim put on - strakes etc. it is now very slow going as there is a lot of trim painting to be done so I am spending a lot of time "Watching Paint Dry " very boring !!! I am very happy with my build and the quality of OcRee kit. Veru detailed instructions !!

I have made a bit more progress - It took me about 3 weeks just painting the metal parts ( it seemed as if they were never ending ) I got the porthols all drilled and installed and started on the deck hardware.[

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.
