    Dug yourself a hole there Kevin - think you will need a Huge popcorn machine - even bigger than Marks😁 OC.

    Thank you kindly Ken, I think when you get into your stride and it enjoyable the building of it just flows, and like I said earlier I am enjoying it as its all do-able at this scale. OC.

    Thank you so much Mark. OC.

    Evening all, made some quite good progress with the inside wall of the farmhouse - firstly I found some clear plastic (the casing of some jump seats) I then measured the windows and set about cutting out some plastic pieces just slightly larger than the MDF window cut outs, I then ran a film of PVA and placed the glazing sheets, then I made some cardboard strips and started framing the windows and doors, I finished off by applying a few coats of Nato Black and touched up the White after doing the edges of the frame. OC.

    I think the main thing that is different between them - Vallejo is designed for finer work probably on smaller objects and the Admiralty range are supposed to be colour matched to period ships and possibly designed for a rougher texture like wood. I guess both can be used (as I have used both on my Waterloo dio build) - brush work tends to be roughly the same. Hope this helps.

    Excellent build and what a tiny weeny little thing she is compared to the Battleships. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Sutch a sharp little thing with all that detail. OC.

    Hi all, just a quicky - I got some lovely feedback and comments off the owner of Arcane Scenery who I purchased my LHS farm kit from, he is an established builder himself and such an honour to get such lovely comments from him.😃 OC.

    I agree with what Kevin said - I also thought you meant on the vertical, as in viewing the canon/carriage from the front and seeing the sides angled inwards towards the top. OC.

    Sounds like a good idea Craig, correct shades of colour with our builds can be a right mine field and sometimes over complicated. OC.

    Just eyeball it mate - if it looks good to you - thats all that matters - its looking more than nice from here. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Another engineering project - this will be very interesting to follow. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Thats an interesting subject and to be honest I was not completely sure but - this might help. OC. https://www.sovereignhobbies.co.uk/pages/royal-navy-periodic-table-of-paints

    Thank you very much for your kind words Gary, its ambitious but fun - I am really enjoying the whole thing probably more than anything else I have built (save for my Balck Pearl build). OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    What an excellent little boaty mate - see thats got you ready for 1/700 scale. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Because we know we did them and that they are there. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Great to see you back on with this creating little engineering marvels - so love what you are creating. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Yep stay safe Craig and as Alan said - hope it does not cause you too much grief. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Just catching up Mark, that is some lovely work you are doing and with your carvings - nothing can be taken away from the skill to even attempt such a task - hats duly taken off my friend. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Excellent work - really nice. OC.

    Evening all, a bit more progress on the farmhouse - I added a few more White layers then made up a few frames around the doors, they will have there head frames after I have fitted the clear plastic for the windows, I then did a bit of Black painting. I also painted and fitted the chimney stacks, 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.
