    I have dropped Jamie from Soverign a message about this - hope he come back to me. Its interesting - where they trialing a new paint in 1941, did they simply run out of Red in her refit before her last encouter with Bizzy? OC.

    Evening all, I have made a start on the figures that are going to be placed in the (tiny) dorma windows, It was quite a task to work the arms so they took up as liitle room as possible, I have made all Three figures without shako's infact one of them is wearing a bandage, so I am making one who nearly dropped his rifle out the window, one firing single handed as he got shot in his left shoulder, and the other firing normaly at a slight angle. So here is the start - OC.

    Thank you Ken, next job trying to fit a few figures firing from the dorma's, then the roof can be attached. OC.

    Hope this helps Alan, found it on the net shows the Three barrel turrets. OC.

    I know what you mean with the lower hull colour, there are so few colour pictures showing the lower hull, the only places I found refernece to it was on the main Hood website, they show some underwater shots of her resting place and they say it shows the anti fouling Grey but its very hard to make it out, I did wonder why they would make her different from the rest of the RN fleet, when all the rest use anti fouling Red. OC.

    Thank you kindly Alan. OC.

    Another small update - I have worked on the joins on all Four walls - just a gentle sand and a few layers of flat White, then I gace all the walls a couple more coats of paint. I have also glued the base to the house also. The roof is still dry fitted for now while I work on the dorma firing figures. OC.

    Evening all, I spent a pleasant afternoon at the table, it was detail painting time - I started by painting the mortar, then the tile slabs, then I blended it all together with a few coats of flat clear coat. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    That is looking superb Craig. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Really nice work Denis. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    We think its from a previous tenent who could have had a pet here, perhaps our dog attracts this spirit? OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    I know the feeling Greg same with me - If I don't wear my glasses I loose the admiral. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    I use a pair similar to those Greg - with a box of different strength lenses? OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    We have a ghost cat/dog where we live now - we hear it and I see it out of the corner of my eye. We can be down stairs and hear something jump off our bed or make the floor boards make a noise - we say to each other "the cat/dog again" OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Very very nice mate. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    "Oh Yes" I am Deffo in for this. 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.
