Oh - progress - nearly forgot, I have nearly finished painting Ney's horse (well one of them as he got through Five during the day) I have painted the saddle cover and trim and even done some brass braiding around it - and have painted the other bits and pieces and given him Three white socks - he still needs a bit of toning in and weathering - then I will concentrate on Marshall Ney. No pics as I forgot. OC.

Evening all - I wanted a change so I have decided to give this some more of my time - firstly I have decided to work on my part metal part plastic figure/s of Marshall Ney and his steed, like I said this is a mixed build as the figure of him is in metal (I purchased him second hand that way all ready painted) - I am painting over him in more accurate colours, the horse is from my stock and is a Perry plastic one, the horse like my others are Two part bodies with separate heads - these needed a small amount of clean up then glued together, after I gave the horse a couple of coats of mixed vallejo acrylic primer with mig extra flat acrylic top coat - to give the surface a good base and be a little harder wearing for the other paint layers. So here is the current stage - Ney is just sat on his horse just for show. Its good to be back. OC.

I think (holding my hands up) I may have been mistaken with Peter Halls work and Pontos, I think he has done other work with aircraft PE sets as well as ships. My apologies Greg.😬 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.
