    Four phrases "As you're not doing anything right now..." Nick

    What gets me is with the amount of detail absolutely everywhere, when you look at a different side it feels you are looking at a completely different diorama. Wow wow wow 😮 Nick
  23. fnick
    First of all. Like the others said: wow! 😮 Secondly plasmo did a water diorama where he made some of the effects I think you are after. Just in case this helps Nick

    For red paints Tamiya do a pink primer. If you don't mind me putting a link on heres an example on a red BMW. https://youtu.be/dZ7KGxy31g0 Start watching 17 minutes in. Seems to work very well. Cheers, Nick

    Definitely be following this one. I recently did the AMT Chrysler 300C as I wanted to do a classic American "chrome" car and I have to say the Moebius kit would have been my second choice. Nick

    Hi Ekis Nice photos of the village you are using as an inspiration. Looking forward to seeing how they translate to your model... Nick
  27. fnick
    Yep plasmo build this model with the carbon decals. Also an aftermarket chain with separate links! Easy when you are used to doing ratlines!😋😄 Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Nick

    Have to admit I'm not a big fan of yellow as a car colour but just this once I'll change my mind!😀 Very well done. Nick
  29. fnick
    That is soooo cool! And also reminds me of the windmill in sleepy hollow! Lovely carpentry skills! Nick

    "but will make a decision soon. " Didn't take long then.😀. Looking forward to this one. Sticking with the yellow or going with a more traditional red? Or something completely different? Nick
  31. fnick
    Still can't get over how good the headlights are. What's your secret to getting such a smooth finish. Don't worry it will be safe within MSW! 😁 Nick

    Hi Craig Fantastic work on the decals. One thing I have seen some people do is use a hair dryer for a few seconds to speed up the drying process between microsol (or equivalent) applications. There's a YouTube channel called scale modelling channel (mainly cars) that has quite a lot of good how to videos. Not saying you need it! ☺️. Just FYI... I'll stop rambling now... Nick
  33. fnick
    Wow that is beyond words! Bravo. I would however like to claim 0.0001% of the plaudits as I did egg you on to stick to your plan!😋😉 Nick
  34. fnick
    Stunning. Are you planning to take this masterpiece outside for some outdoor shots? Nick
  35. fnick
    Love that F2. Really good work Mike! Nick

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.
