    I will be back folks - dont go away, just waiting for my "Light at the end of the tunnel" mind you dont think a tunnel will look good in the dio🙃 OC.

    The 20mm shields/tubs Pontos do them in resin, nice thin walled jobbies. OC.
  4. Old Collingwood
    Same as what the other guys have said. OC.

    I have a side board it got to sit on so I'm controled size wise by that, to have doen the dio I would have liked to would have taken roughly a 5foot square board, but thats a no no. I have a few ideas for the layout (movement of figures etc) dictated by what stage in the battle I do. OC.

    Yep I hear you, I tried in vain to bend the stair treads but found I was just breaking them, even by starting at the bottom one using a fine blade - still no good, on one of my builds I just left them as they were on the Pe fret with the hand rails bent in though. OC.

    Excellent work, I fully understand how you feel about the pe rails and stairs - I was the same and that was in 1/350 so I can imagine how it would be in 1/600😬 OC.

    This is getting - Better and better so many places of interest to watch. OC.

    Same as Ken - really nice work Jack. OC.

    I have to say - its Great having Kurt sitting on on this build - Its an interesting build as It is but also great having Kurt chat on here 👍 OC.

    What I found real useful with Vallejo putty is you can also use a cotton bud or piece of rag and wipe over the gap being filled, or even a finger - its that plyable. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Looking even nicer now its got some Red on it - really nice work. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Very nice kit and start, Airfix have been really improving with thier new moulds. OC.

    I have an idea (ups careful OC) for when you do your deck railings - how about if you made a very fine shallow gouge out on the deck edge between the hull and where the deck sits, it might help the railings adhere better and be stronger, I had considered doing this on my Warspite - but after i had fitted them. You could use one of those panel line scribers. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Similar to the Shorts Sunderland Brother. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Gonna put a load of cones up for the duration of the battle or a filter light system, but as soon as "Boney" come down the hill they will be on a permanent Red light😃 OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Excellent video showing La Haye Sainte as it is today. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Lovely work. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    That is looking really impressive so much detail mate. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    She is looking Superb mate. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Can gaitors be watered down when used say on handrails - would that still work? 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.
