    "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

    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

    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

    Stunning. Are you planning to take this masterpiece outside for some outdoor shots? Nick
  26. fnick
    Love that F2. Really good work Mike! Nick

    Thanks Mike! Appreciate the comment. Also reminds me I took a few pictures with my DSLR. This last one was an attempt at a diorama using a backdrop. Idea is ok in principle. Just need access to an A2 printer!🙂 Thanks for looking. Nick
  29. fnick
    Yeah cos you made such a poor job of it...🙄😋 Just kidding superb job! Would like to see what you think you are good at! Cheers, Nick

    Congratulations Ekis you have just invented a time machine to go back to the middle ages!😀. Stunning work. Nick

    Thanks Mark! If I had planned it a bit better I would have got some decals for the white side stripes which would have looked pretty cool. Next time!😋

    Hi Ragove. Thank you for the suggestion. I have seen that one done however I do have an alternate idea I'm hoping will work which if it does will look a damn sight nicer than my driveway!🙂 Cheers,Nick
  33. fnick
    Thanks gents! Sorry Egilman lost the keys... Not surprising at 1:24 scale 😋
  34. fnick
    Morning all thanks for the comments and the likes. Well the lady's got wheels!😀 Finally finished! First of all here is what I was hoping the car would look like. And here is the end result There's a vague resemblance!😋. Ok I'm quite pleased with the result!😁☺️. A few more pictures. Thanks to all again for the advice and support. I'll take some more pics with the DSLR and post them hopefully in a few days. Cheers,Nick

    Thanks Egilman. Unfortunately I don't think I have the right pledge product I have a multipurpose floor polish which has a milky appearance but I have tried it on a test piece and it does appear to do the job but this time I will let it dry properly ☺️ before potentially using it on the windscreen! Cheers 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.
