    This was great to see as I have had a couple of holidays in Brixham and never got tired going over the Golden Hind there. OC.

    So I guess my next stage is to fit the prop shafts and A frames and the Rudder - then I think the hull can be primed, Im going to use my Vallejo Black primer as it seems to do the job, and will be a good base for the anti fouling Grey, I might use Vallejo's London Grey for this (need to check how dark it is compared to upper hull colour) OC.

    Right then folks looking for something different - I have started this. So first thing I had to do was to remove the hull sections from the wrapping and found some warping from the bow to stern, I corrected this with a hairdryer, then I dry fitted what I thought was Three sections - but I soon worked out the middle section is only a false bottom to be used when the hull is set up as a waterline model. Where the lower meets the upper hull there are a series of lugs and sockets - I put a smear of glue into these and offered up the Two sections, then a smear of glue along the inside and pushed together - then my normal routine using the hair dryer, then it was put a side for a bout 30 mins, I then did a wee bit of wet sanding to clean up a wee bit of glue seepage. So this is the start. OC.

    Folks I have scrapped this - its currently in the bin, it started just having far too many problems I went to do the rotor heads and one of the rear leg oleo's broke away where it had bee repaird before, it wouldn't glue back, then one of the windows fell inside and could not be rescued due to the internal framing, just too many issues so I binned it. No worries it was one of those builds taht went wrong so many different ways.. But I have started something else - OC.

    Not sure what to say Mark - words fail me and are meaningless - very sad news. OC.

    Yes indeed Ken, I had no gloss to hand and was eager to get her finished - so I did the naughty deed and put them down on the flat paint work. OC.

    She is looking really nice Mark - I have an idea to catch all the dust - its called a Tak Rag Its a tacky glove you wear all the dust is attracted to it leaving a dust free surface - I used to use then in the cycle industry removing dust on the frames before they where primed and painted. Take good care mate. OC.

    Is everything healthy Kurt within the site? I hope it is as its so important for so many people - its a genuine family here, I for one would not want to imagine an everday world without our site. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Amazing. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    That is looking so cool. OC.

    What i could do is to turn her into an ex BDRT thats no longer used or needed and the old girl is stuffed in the corner of a hanger waiting to scrapped after having her blades removed to go on a flying sister. OC.

    Thank you kindly Lou, food for thought food for thought. OC.

    Thank you all, will have to have a think as its kind of knocked my mojo a bit, will be honest I nearly had a paddy and was tempted to throw it (literally) but I calmed down after saying a few choice words that made the air blue $$$$$$$$ etc. Very simple what caused the problem - I first (way back) part painted it with Tamiya Laquar rattle cans, then I airbrushed over the top my Acrylic paint (that was the good stage) then I put on my decals onto a flat surface (very bad idea) then I used far too much Acrylic Clear top coat to try to flatten down the decals, then wiping with a damp cloth was not a good idea.

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.
