    Looking really impressive as she is Greg, tell you what mate over the years you have become the "go to master" at this scale with plastic/PE ships and its really great following what you do. OC.

    As Lou said - I could imagine specialist companies doing resin or high quality platic kits where they have certain sections with pre attached PE, saving having to buy it seperatley, imagine wafer thin plastic strengthened with PE best of both worlds. OC.

    Evening all, my display case arrived this morning - "whats it look like - whats it look like" - I dont know its still in its wood transport crate, I am giving it a day or so before unscrewing the case due covid. OC.

    Evening all, good progress today - I painted the Goalkeeper then a couple of coats of shading wash then dust then highlighting, then it was glued in position - this finishes the turret. OC.

    Simple answer mate - buy two of everything - first one the dry run and second one the keeper. OC.

    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.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Looking really nice - lots of nice detail in there mate. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    How can you heat up PE or am I just being thick. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Excellent work - those plates and the paintwork are looking so good. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    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.

    I have an idea - Craig is building/re-working his swimming pool - you could test your boat there - sure he wont mind. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    That is looking so nice - love the panel line work. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    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.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, I have finished the Goalkeeper by building and fitting the site unit - this has a clear site section that was glued inside the the back of the glazing was painted a silvery purple color then the PE pieces were added, just needs painting next. OC.

    Looking good mate. 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.
