    Its great when we have an interest that Leeds us into a build - mine was from both the English Civil War from the 1760's (going to see a live re-enactment at a castle) and my Airfix Waterloo soldiers - definitely fuelled my interest doing this. OC.

    Well I have given in to temptation and brought this little bad boy, I will build her (when / after I have finished my Waterloo Dio) in her Battle of the Denmark Straits set up, that as we know during her battle with Bismark led to her catastrophic loss when her magazine blew up. The last time I built a model of Hood was the old 1/600 Airfix kit back in the 70's so I am full of excitement to build this one. These are the screen shots from the Flyhawks advert. OC.

    No problem Ken, I am not as learned on the American Wars - I did have the Airfix figures as a kid but that was about it. OC.

    I have just pulled the trigger on this - just need it to arrive (oh and finish my Waterloo dio) OC. https://www.ebay.co.uk/ipp/124741063964?transactionId=2418136915002&_trksid=p2047675.l48352

    Superb work mate - one of your best pieces of work. OC.
  7. Old Collingwood
    I am so tempted now - I have built just the one kit in this scale but now I think my small scale skills have improved. "Damn decision's"🤨 OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Yep I have my eye on one of their delux eddisions - they do look Superb. OC.
  9. Old Collingwood
    Insane but beautiful work, I have seen there HMS Hood and I am so tempted by but from China delivery is quoted as something like 2 - 3 Months. OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    She is looking Superb Kevin - you know some people build a model but this is more like scale engineering, and trust me you are doing a wondeful job. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Patrick, welcome to my little world. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Roger and Allan, some good info there that shows on a busy noisy battlefeild - flags were an important visual to left people whow what and were they are. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Indeed Ken, at LHS I know there was Two whole divisions sent against the KGL something like 2000 French and about 700 Cuirassier's and of course they kept re grouping and trying again till they over powered the KGL who had run short of ammo. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly Craig, indeed also to think a lot of them were just young boys as well. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work - very tidy and clean - not easy at this scale. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    I have found and brought some - again paper flags that fold and glue around the pole but at least they are 54th and 55th ligne reg. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Ken, hopefully the mass of them but with some very different poses will look quite good, OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Thank you so much Kevin. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Hi Edward, thank you kindly, there is group of Paper flags in the box with my Perry French Infantry the only thing is there is no 54th or 55th infantry flag - or I could go and search to see if anyone does the exact one on the net. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Indeed - I am hoping for over 100 possibly close to 150 made 44 so far. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Thanks mate, next off I think will be a Flag carrier as I have both (who said I am putting off building the farm - well perhaps a bit as it will be the focus point and I don't wan't to make a pigs ear of it) OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Count me in - I will stare just like your cat is at the amazement that happens with people who have xray vision with these tiny Builds. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Evening all - my 55th Ligne 1st division drummer is finished, it was a pleasure to work on and stands out a bit with some different colour from the rest. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Amazing work mate - love everything about it. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Indeed - would so turn it into a living space and there are some Amazing sculpts around the 28mm scale coming out. 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.
