    I was thinking the same, I struggled to turn the steps even in 1/350 scale using the end of my blade - too many snapped away. OC.

    Thank you so much Craig, yes I have some scenery here and on the way - In the shape of some trees and rough ground (the pre cast type) also I have ordered a A4 sheet of different grass heights and one of those make it yourself hedges (its made form course horse hair that you glue down and add glue followed by sprinkled on Brown and Green foliage, scenery making will be a first for me. There was no livestock left mate - they killed it all the night before the battle. OC.

    Evening all, did some good progress on the barn this evening - a few layers of wash then some dusting, then I was able to join the walls together, its just dry fitted to the base as I will part paint the base before glueing the walls down. OC.

    "Nah the chickens went the same way as the ducks and no doubt any other live stock" the engineers the night before had a roast up of all they could find, with the dead pile of French I will make them from my stash. OC.

    Evening all, more paint layers have now been layed down on the barn sections, I have also painted the inside wall along the side closest to the opening where the barn doors should have been, as some of the inside will be visible whwn its assembled. OC.

    Thank you kindly Denis - alas the floor and roof in the farmhouse is glued on, but don't worry there will be plenty of interest with figures all over the place - inlcuding a pile of dead blocking the rear barn door - where they were shot attempting to get into the barn. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood

    More spending again - this dio better be worth it😵 So I have brought - A grass mat, some tufts of grass, a make it yourself hedge kit, a box of British Centre Flank figures (victrix) and some more figures for my 2nd KGL. Might have to sell the admiral to pay for all this. OC.

    Really nice progress - I am so enjoying your trip into "little land" its a credit to you and Craig and others who tackle these amazing kits. OC.

    Evening all, work on the Giant Barn has started - my normal routine colour in the cement mortar in between the bricks, then after a light pass of my brush to pick out the bricks (this took Two coats) then I decided to be a bit arty and pick out different bricks in different shades (as in hindsight they would have been some orthan bricks) basically I just mixed in with the basic brick colour - firstly a slightly lighter shade, then slightly darker - then slightly more Red - think it turned out ok? Notice the missing barn door? that the one the KGL engineers burned the night before - leaving the barn exposed. OC.

    Excellent work Kevin, love the cushions - regarding time frame on builds - I can't talk - look how long mine take? OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Thank you so much Phil. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Just been re re reading my build - I really can not get my head round all the interest it created - I am so humbled by it - how a plastic kit can turn into such a taliking point is simply amazing - it shows what an amazing site we share here. Thank you One and All OC.
  22. 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.
