    That is Seriously Sad news, I was just a kid when I saw that Fantastic model there, on one of my first trips to London - it was the reason I got Into model ship building from a very yound age - something like 7-8 and I built my first Airfix kit of HMS Devonshire. OC.

    1/200 Vanguard (Britains Last BB Ship) would be awsome, the scale one in the museum in London is amazing. Superb work you are doing by the way. OC.

    Evening all, this eve - I got round to trying abit of shading, only issue I had with it is the brown wash is enamel (and smelly) I have a bottle of thinners that fankfully is odourless (why the wash couldn't be the same), anyway I used a fine brush and just gently worked it in leaving very little claen up, I also painted the top of the countermeasures table and arials and the rubber shiled around the barrel seal was painted Black, I did the same to the Hull concentrating alot around the engine covers. When it is dry tomorrow I will have a go at some dry brushing with some dust wash. OC.

    That is looking Superb you have both those colours bang on right - AP 507B Admiralty Medium Grey (RN 02) & AP 507C Admiralty Light Grey (RN 03) and the armour looks perfect through the paintwork - you really are doing a fine job of the Ole Lady. OC.

    Alas No, if I need to spray it has to be with Tamiya rattle cans and that means one thing - outdoors dictated by the weather. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood

  21. Old Collingwood
    Indeed Lou, this one is designed to be used from inside the buttoned up turret using the sights inside, using both optical and thermal sights, but also used in a more manual use also. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood

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.
