    Evening all, well I decided to have a slight break from my Waterloo Dio - and get back on this as it needs a few finishing touches, I have made the Two Jerry can - they need spraying, I am also making the comms aerials out of some wire I brought a long time ago, I will also flat coat over it using my airbrush (any excuse just to use it)😁 Its a good break from my figure work as I looked at the next batch og KGL and thought to myself - infact said to the admiral "I am abit fed up of figure painting for now". OC.

    Evening all, some more good progress today, I took the bases off the figures I had painted, then got the farm on the table and worked out where they would be placed - the farms time zone I am going with is when the French had done their second attack on LHS and the 54th/55th Ligne had attempted to get in via the opening in the Barn (they then tried to get into the courtyard) some of the KGL were guarding the Barn doors while others raced the front gate to chase the French who inturn where being chased by the British Hussars. There is now over 50 KGL in there. OC.

    Oh just an add on - My airbrush would not work to start with tonight - its was blowing bubbles - so I stripped it down and found the needle had some stuck on primer and was not pulling back when I pressed the lever, so I cleaned it with some fluid on some cloth - reassembled it and it worked like a charm. Have to keep these things so clean especially with that primer. OC.

    I think it attacks us all Phil - and having another build is good to refresh the mind - and stops that kit-bin moment. OC.

    Mine needed several coats to cover smoothly. OC.

    Do you mean the colour paint white used in the time Mark? I thought according to Admiralty Paints it was a Dull Off White. 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.
