    I have a little supprise - I want to try my hand at doing a part internal simulation - way to hard to scratch and nothing available as an update or super detail kit, so what I have found is another modern AFV kit that includes a Full intenal detail set - its the Rye Field Model 1:35 M1A1 / A2 Abrams, I know they are different tanks but I am sure with having the basics for the intenal parts there I can re-work them a bit to get close to the Chally's interior. The other bonus I will then have the M1 kit I can build latter and in that I could show the Engine compartment as its

    Indeed, as a spotter (airctaft enthusiast) I once spent a weekend traveling all over the East coast in a mini coach/van with a group of other spotters - it was a mad Two days but so much fun. OC.

    Evening all, A bit more progress with the rear section - its fast becoming very congested with all the various fittings and brackets, keeping me busy and mind occupied. OC.

    Today I got my in ear phones out the drawer and repaired the frontal section to wood main body, I had left doing this due to there delicate nature and not having any super glue, so after giving them a service including removing the Two frontal meshes, I ran a slight smear of Gorrila Fine super glue around the join section and fixed it in place, then a bit of a clean and good to go. Loves me music I do. OC.

    But dont foregert most digital SLR cameras can record in digital movie mode, some of them can work remotely without needing wires everywhere. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Lighting rigs with units into light boxes or umbrellas are quite straight forward with lots of kits available, video cameras are a little more complex - again lots of them around in the digital market. OC.

    Thank you kindly Edward, I'm going to have to be careful with my building/painting work on the base as it will be the lower part of my case when it arrives, Im hoping I can get the maker of the case to mask the decorative edging for me to save any damage to it from working on it. OC.

    I like the paint finish and the canopy - came out really well. OC.

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.
