    Evening all, so more bench time - I fitted the last of the small items then I reached primer time, my feeling at this time was😀 as I love using my airbrush, any way I mixed some of my primer along with some flow improver and first aimed it at the side wall of my cardboard spray booth and the airbrush was blowing bubbles with no paint coming out the nozzle, so I emptied it out and took my airbrush apart and cleaned it again, then I tried again - it was sparying agian but not at all smooth it was splattering - thank good ness it the primer and can be sanded. I decided it was best to do a full clean of the airbrush so I took every part of it out and using my cleaner I found little bits of tiny dried on paint flecks, after the deep clean I put it back together and ran some water through it - all good again more air was now running through it. Tell you what I spent about Five minutes spraying the model and about 2 hours cleaning the airbrush - they so need so much attention and not just by spraying through cleaner and water after paint - looks like it needs stripping down after every paint session.

    Evening all, some more progress done in between trying to settle our little pooch who was terriefied by all the Fireworks going off around us, poor thing was trying to find somewhere to hide - we had to have the TV volume way up to try to help. So It was Flaps time - they are positionable up or down, the flap actuation arms come in Two different shapes in the kit, I decided to make them dropped - bit fiddly getting them ligned up, but after a bit of adjustment - they are on. OC.

    Evening all, Last stage of this build - I finshed making the tow ropes, these were fiddly little fellas as they are made of thread, this needed re-twisting then gluing to keep the shape, then the ends were glued, I then had to manufacture Two clips to hold them at the back - but was able to use the Two original ones from the kit (the other Two went missing). I then painted and weathered them. So I am calling this Finished. Sincere thanks to all the feedback and help encouragement with this build - it was a great model to build and am I looking forward to the M1 kit "oh yes deffo" So here are the last pics of it. OC.

    We have all been there Denis - I cant count the number of kits that were trashed when things went wrong for me - at least you was able to save it - and to be fair - I could not tell the mistake without you mentioning it - thats a credit to you for fixing it. 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.
