    No problem at all brother its just a subject I can't comment much on as I do not have very much knowledge of the ACW, I know there was a film/series on TV "North and South" not sure how realistic that was. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood
    Think I have explained it a bit better. OC.

    Thank you Scott. OC.

    You know Lou - I'm not sure, the moulds are seperate - Waterline upper/Bootline section/Lower Hull so it leaves it wide open to build as a full ship on a stand or a waterline, I will be Rattle Can painting it as I think brush painting will not bring out the delicate details, so I will be able to spray those sections seperate without having to mask along the hull. OC.
  6. Old Collingwood
    Looking forward to seeing your build on that as well. OC.

    It looks like a well enginered kit. OC.

    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.
  11. Old Collingwood
    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

    I am starting to learn - this site is bad bad place of desires and once lead in there is no escape. should say - so many amazing kits coming out and being built in here (I said to myself - "No wont give in a get another ship kit" - then I did. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Superb work mate - one of your best pieces of work. OC.
  14. 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.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Yep I have my eye on one of their delux eddisions - they do look Superb. OC.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Patrick, welcome to my little world. OC.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly Craig, indeed also to think a lot of them were just young boys as well. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work - very tidy and clean - not easy at this scale. OC.
  23. 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.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Ken, hopefully the mass of them but with some very different poses will look quite good, OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Thank you so much Kevin. 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.
