    It has a Image stabilizer on the lens with Two settings - One is a basic version for static objects and the other one is called Sport Mode, thats designed for moving subjects, both give about 4 stops of stabilizing, but I use high enough shutter speeds with things like that - normaly over 1/1000sec generaly higher, no need for a monopod or tripod also its all about mustle memory like firing a rifle. OC.

    I was thinking the same as Mike. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood

    Back to my other hobby - what I am able to get out of my rig - flying over on airways from Amsterdam to the US at roughly 35K. OC.
  6. Old Collingwood

    Hi all, just another update - I will be ordering my made to measure display case and base this week, will take about a month to have made and delivered to me, this maker of cases is based over here and makes some amazing units - check him out - https://acorndisplays.co.uk/ OC.

    I loved the Log Flumes so much fun could manage them no problem. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Not for me mate guess they are a bit like Marmite you either love or hate. OC.

    So, these KGL are nearly finished but next I want to try to make some up in a few better firing positions - problem is the sprues only come in Two positions, so a possible fix is to pinch some of the Victrix and Perry arms from the Line Infantry and sand down thier buttoned cuffs and just paint on the Black half diamond cuffs after. Why the companies have not made more plastic/resin 95th Rifles/KGL lights I will never know - they are available in Diecast but I dont like the detail in them - much preffer working with plastic. OC.

    Yep, one of Two things I dont like them and hights. OC.

    Same with my farther on the different RAF airfields with crash landings or beat up planes - some he would talk about (like the one he received a medal for) but many he wouldn't speak about or not very much soon changing the subject. OC.

    At the time back in the early 80s it was Britains fastest rollercoaster with the most twists, my old mate forst me to go there and on it.😬 When I got off it I was like ..................🥴🤯😱😰 OC.

  18. Old Collingwood
    This was the first and last roller coaster I went on its called the corkscrew - 😨 OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Well they bettery pull there fingeres out when I build the farm - there will be no sloppyness then - better keep the place tidy - fill in any holes in wall from canon balls I will demand the send down some polyfilla and white wash - I will call a cease fire for half an hour to tidy up the place - that will of course include any grass mowing than needs doing oh........and all them weeds they need pulling. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    But they didn't do the washing up though. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Hi all "Im back" thought it was about time I tried out the new light, so I shaded the faces and hands and a few other details, then I painted thier pom poms, still more to do but glad to be back on the build. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    You should do a build log Kurt. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Do you know what would have looked superb added to your Dio? - a German Paratrooper hanging by his chute from the top of the bombed building. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Incredible work that most of us just stand jaw on the floor shaking our heads at. OC.
  25. 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.
