    Also to add more data - Victory at Trafalgar some feel she also had built up forward forecastle bulwarks of similar height to the quater deck bulwarks with cut outs for the canons on the forecastle deck, some also feel these bulwarks also had short hamock bins to help with musket shot from the enemy ships same on the quarter deck bulwarks and mizzen deck also had these hamock bins but were taller. Hope this helps. OC.

    Busy busy mate - gonna be a great area. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood
    Indeed mate - some people just have an extra level of skill. OC.

    I see - so you need to increase the thickness of the upper wale by adding a strip 1mm wide by 0.4mm thick all the way from the beak head as far back as where the outer edge of the fram for the window assembly sits, then above that it looks like he has used a strip possibly 0.4 x 0.4mm again following the same profile but ontop of the wale. Hope that makes sense. OC.

    Needs a crew to really give it that special touch - "cough cough" OC.

    Do you mean this part - its for the rigols that go over the gun parts to keep the rain out - Its plate num 2 from his site. OC.

    You might be right mate, certainly havn't heard much priase for them or even talk about them being used against moving objects. OC.

    I have had a go at editing the photos from Flyhawks promo to make them a bit clearer to see, they include the box art pic - OC.

    Hey I like that Greg - that really stand out in a good way mate. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Excellent work mate - its a little gem really nice. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Scott, could be better if it was a new kit I was working from (roll on my Hood Kit) I have learned a lot over ther years - mainly good light and ample magnification - optovisors. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, some more progress this evening, its brush stage tackling all the small details - the decks still need painting. The magnification monster is making my work look very (poor) with some of the details smoothered from the original paintwork, also the near macro shot hasn't helped. OC,

    I'm the same with my eyes blind as a bat need glasses for all reading/laptop/tv and now I use an optovisor for all modeling. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work mate. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Have you seen this mate - 1/64 scale shipwrights model of Hood. OC. http://hmshood.com/hoodtoday/models/gallery/hoodgallery3.htm
  17. Old Collingwood
    I love the detail with the simulated planks and the wash in between the planks - really nice job. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    That is looking really nice Alan, and aint that just the truth about too much magnification showing too much detail - its the same with my Edinburgh build - even the slightest difference in paint layers not where they should be showing up. Keep up the good work my friend. OC.

    Work to do to her next - add the dark Grey anti slip deck paint / do same to the tops and decks of the superstructure, paint the main part of the masts Black and White, do the Two secondary radar domes White, do some detail painting - Black in windows etc, tape the flight deck and paint the Two straight lines - one from port to starboard and the other one going into the hangar White, possibly add the two bow and stearn flag poles to be made from my wire stock and paint them Brown for wood. OC.

    All the expert builders have Three hands, how do you think they do such wonders. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Some beautiful pieces of work there mate. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly mate. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, some quite good progress (I think) I have given the assemblies a couple of thin coats of Tamiya surface primer, followed by the top coat (again Tamiya rattle can) I think its not come out too bad considering the less than ideal original paint job I did with a blindfold using a painting trowel while jumping up and down on a trampoline. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Warm welcome mate, there will be a bit of wait yet as the supplier needs to wait for more to be built by Flyhawk I understand so at a guess I would imagine a good few months away yet, but I will keep adding little ditties if I come across them. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Looking Absolutley Stunning - like a Museum model. 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.
