Evening all, so we started the day of by insisting that the "spoiled pooch" must come out on a dog walk, we decided to go a slightly longer route that takes us along an old canal then we normaly take a short cut under a train bridge and into our local park, but we were stopped in our tracks (excuse the pun) by a flooded underpass under the train line - we had no choice but to turn back. This added quite a distance to our dog walk we found a bench rersted up than went home - got in knackered. After dinner I decided I must do abit on the Chally - first off I decided to touch in using my acrylic Nato Green tin and brush - "upsss - very flat out of the tin" it stands out against the slight satin from the tamiya rattle can, so I made the drastic step of hand painting the whole thing (hull and turret) using the flat acrylic with a brush slightly watered down. It went on not too bad but I was having to mess witgh it a lot between the coats drying as I was getting brush marks on the larger flat areas, I decided in the end that these will probably polish out when the paint is hard using a soft cloth. No pics again as I am not happy to show it yet. OC.

Evening all, right - paintwork rectified, I made a bridge support that was stuck spanning under the turret ring from a lolly stick, I then attached Two of my large plastic clemps and this afternoon went out onto our patio and did the first of Two layers, they both went on without incident and no dust this time as I wore a new glove, I then put them aside to dry outside while we went for our dog walk, when we got back I gave them a check over and still fine and was dry enough/de gased to bring them inside. I will be doing some detail painting and building/painting the small sections tomorrow (I hope)? 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.
