    Evening all, a small update in la la land - I have finished painting the trousers and done the shoe guards, also the rifles and been painted - just needs the hands and a wee bit of detailing before I do some washes the dust highlighting. OC.
  5. Old Collingwood

  6. Old Collingwood
    Amazing work - especially for card. OC.
  7. Old Collingwood
    That looks so dificult No way would I attempt something like this - Hat trully taken off for you with your build. OC.

    Thank you kindly Denis, figures are easier as they just a small areas - just takes a steady hand / magnification and good light, but larger subjects like your planes that need complex masking - is another field all together. OC.
  9. Old Collingwood
    She is really standing out now - striking colour scheme Denis. OC.

    Evening all - a wee bit more progress tonight, the Captain has had waistband sash painted, also his Shako brades done in silver, the rest of the troops I have painted the water canister belts in a light brown to simulate leather, and I am now painting their trousers. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood

    Wowzer - you going to populate all your builds Greg - bet you do. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Are those going top to bottom or around the funnels (I assume they are from top to bottom)? OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    Amazing work - really first class work. OC.

    Evening all, a few bit of work done this evening (some sanity amoungst all the madness) yesterday I spent over Three hours just painting the haversacks and straps, then this evening it was the turn of the Blue water bottles, Brown powder horns some tidy up work then some silver work on the Shakos and buttons. One fella a Captain has more fancy detail on his jacket - more buttons and braids, I picked that out uisng my finest brush. OC.

    Thank you for explaining that Craig, I guess for some sub assemblies where there is a uniform colour - assembling them priming/painting would be ok, but I can see the need to prime/paint railings first before attaching especially if a wood deck has gone down or other areas with different colours/shades of pant. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Thats why I wonder if its best to attach it first before priming and painting. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Does the metal primer stay put when you start bending it into shape, or does it crack? I have never used it. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Whats your work ethic with the painting - assemble the sub assmblies including the PE, then spray primer then colour then if you are fitting them the wood decks? just getting a flow for when I start my Hood. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Coming on real nice there mate, I feel your pain with pieces getting damaged - remember my Gryhound build and those rear quarter window frames - that liked ot snap?. Keep at it Mark - dont worry about the swearing I think the volume is turned down on the forum.😁 OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, I have done a bit more to the 2nd KGL group - jackets and a wee bit more of a washe to their hair. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    So glad they are of use Alan. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    No problem at all mate. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    I have these few taken by me - HMS Monmouth close up HMS Argyl (sister ship) Hope they are of use. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood

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.
