    Thank you so much Tim, its all about finding a way of holding them and finding a steady hand position and controling your breathing - I find the more I do of them the better they become - Oh and decent magnification with optovisors is really important. OC.

    My only real experience of train carriages is as a grounds keeper for an ex boss he used to live in an old converted railway station complete with the old platform - he decided one day to buy and have transported over an old BR sleeper carriage the old type with seperate compartments with pull down beds, any way - he forst wantedn me to re paint the whole thing in BR Red and Black Tar roof, then he decided he wanted the inside wrippped out using just angle grinders - nice work, I was on this job for about Six months.😒☹️ OC.

  21. Old Collingwood

    I guess you have some freedom with the counter as the second planking and the counters first could join covering any gaps or profile. I might be wrong but thats how it looks like it might work Mark. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, a bit more done this evening - Haversacks and water bottles painted, Grey trousers done and the facings done in Blue. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Excellent work Mark, getting the first done is such a mile stone - and those counter bends "dont get me started" you are doing superb my friend. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Best remedy "count One two three" and repeat as needed. 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.
