    Evening all, paintwork is going quite well on my Jager, base colours are on and face hands detailed and washed, photos are not great but they give an idea. OC.

    Morning all, so after putting my KGL 3rd Hussar away, I have started on my Dutch 27th Jager, I have used one of my French line infantry as they share very similar uniforms, so far I have cut away his lower left side at the back of his coat where his sword and bayonet was, this has been replaced with a British bread bag and water bottle, that has been cut away from one of my British figures then trimmed to fit and glued in place, I have also filed away the Shako plate as I will attempt to paint in the Dutch design that's a horn - that's all I have done to him so far hence why no pics Yet. A bit of history of why I am including a single Jager figure in my dio - at Waterloo the 27th Jager skirmishers where famed out in front of the ridge running from the road all the way across, when the French columns advanced and got neat the bulk of the Dutch Jagers fell back, however I am placing my single figure on the road with the 95th rifles firing towards the French. OC.

    My understanding is Birmingham had ambitious plans to create a mini Monaco to promote them selves and attract people to the city, they put on these Formula 3000 and other car races over a few years till it was all stopped. OC.

    I once saw this while visiting friends - OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    I have got a bit more to do on him - I will do a wee bit of slightly lighter shade Blue for high lights on his jacket and pelisse, then my flat coat to seal him. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Superb work. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, just for a change I have returned to figure painting - here is one to surprise you, in the shape of a 3rd KGL Hussar, similar to the English Hussars, he will be placed on the edge of the Garden Hedge close to the Royal Horse Guards (The Blues). OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Outstanding work. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    That is looking so nice mate. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    She turned out really nice, I see your frustration regarding the screw - rudder situation. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Afternoon all, just a couple of pics to show where I have placed the pelisse. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Ken mate. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more work has been done on my odds and ends - painted and weathered Pelisse, will have a flat top coat over the top when fully dry, the muskets are getting some colour, and the knapsacks are getting their straps painted, still more work to do. With the Pelisse - I first layed down a Black primer, then Dark Green followed with a bit of White mixed with the Green to make a slightly lighter shade - ths was painted on the high light areas leaving the sunken shadow areas Dark Green, I then went over with a wash, then finished with a light dry brush dusting of my dust paint, its made to look dusty as it will be sitting on the dirty dusty road. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Glad you was able to get back on - loving the work. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Congratulations - what you did was to convert a very poor old kit that out of the box just looked poor in quality and detail, and you have given it some life - and now placed in a well deserved place in its case. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Good to see you back on your build - sometimes sme time off helps to get ones mojo back. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Sounds good mate. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Cant wait for the pics mate. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Cant wait for you to do a log on the MTB. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    That is an Absolute Beauty. 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.
