Evening all, more time playing with my dio - firstly I had to carefully cut the figures off there pre-cast plastic basses - just need to be careful not to cut their feet off, then it was placement time - just a wee bit of CA under each foot and positioned, one of the KGL has died and was placed on the grass - a couple are on the roof of the Piggery firing down on the French and the rest are scattered. Starting to get a bit more populated now Forty KGL in the farm so far. OC.

My start on this will be Way off I feel - as my Dio is taking all my time as its going to be my focal point - even some hostorians interested in it. So for now - no physical imput here yet. OC.

Great seeing you back my friend - fairing the hull was a real pain for me with my wood build - so hard to get a perfect smooth run of planks, its down to ourselves also how perfect we want to make it. Is that the first or second planking? reason I ask is, the First gives you more wriggle room if you wanted to try to sand down the high spots, also with the wale could you not just meet the counter the same way you have it but with more planks on the counter to match the extra wale planks (I assue you are adding) Not sure if that was of help Tim? its hard to come up with ideas some times unless one is building the ship your self.

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.
