    Dont know why the kit makers have to split the heli deck like that 2/3rd along the heli pad - they could have made it all one deck (its the same with many modern warship kits like that in different scales). OC.

    Looking excellent. OC.

    Absolutley amazing considering it 1/350 scale thats the same scale as the moden warship builds in the forum - and we know how fiddly they are. OC.

    That is looking really nice - I too love the lines of the ship, we all panic over the first hull planking - thinking it looks rubbish - "boy I did with my Greyhound" but sanding is our friend. OC.

    Bit of progress (sort of) I took the wokka outside got the outdoor bench set up again with a box to put it on, got my rattle can RAF Green then after a warm up and thorough shake, I started spraying.................ups................splirt splirt got half the wokka done then it ran out😬 So as it stands its put away de gasing in the cupboard keeping the smell locked away, will have to wait now till the new year before I can finish it. Oh well I have my Waterloo figures to keep me out of trouble. OC.

    Someone should build a cake in the shape of a heli. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, right Primer day - it was a bit fiddly as it had be done outside, the idea was to sit it on a box ontop of our covered deck bench, then spray what I could while walking around the wokka, then left it a few minutes to dry till I could pick it up and place it down so I could spray the underside, only issue I had was a bit of a run near the winch - I left it to dry for a few moments then rushed it inside still on the box and straight into our cupbaord. This evening I was able to check it out and give the run a light wet and dry - problem solved. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Great work Kevin, do the bricks strengthen the assemblies up much - give them some rigidity? OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Mark. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    I used to know a Pheasant Plucker - he was a really nice guy. 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.
