    The admiral is ROFL over this just told her😊 OC.

    Thank you for the comments guys - will have to see how next year pans out, another thing that sounds good is being able to use none smelly acrylic paints meaning hassle/smell free painting in the house without having all that fuss having to paint outside controled by the weather then having to rush the smelly painted thing through the lounge and into the cupboard before the admiral gets a wiff of it. OC.

    Whats next in your plastic stash mate? OC.
  5. Old Collingwood
    Is 47 decibels very loud for a sprayers compressor? could you use something of that noise level in a sitting room without it causing disruption to normal tv watching? OC.
  6. Old Collingwood
    Interesting comparison of size with the previous benchmark destroyers the type 42s with the Fortress of the Seas HMS Edinburgh (my fave modern warship) - the middle of the Two on the left. OC.

    Just some bits and pieces from my memory of these family of ships from seeing them come and go where we used to live - they appeared to be a very good ship regarding little role when cornering compared to say the type 42 destroyers, also what I found strange was that the middle anchor always used to partialy lowered when entering harbour (I used to see that with all same fleet) never found out why, also thier tanoy system was very loud often when they were moored in a streatch of water we could hear the tanoys from more than a mile away. Just a bit of trivia from my own memories. OC.

  12. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Mike, its paused for a bit ran out of spray paint. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    You are doing fine mate "gently gently" is the key. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    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.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Looking excellent. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    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.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Really nice Job Denis, paints certainly do test us - but you pulled it off nicely. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Not much that doesn't go on here - if they make it - we will build it. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Murthy disguised as empty rattle can - it tricked me it said "Shake me shake me - I have enough inside" OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, so back on these little fella's - painted the Red jackets on the first Three. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Indeed Ken, and to all me buddies over the pond have a great one OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Very tidy work mate - you got those tree nails perfect not in your face just nice and accurate. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    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.
  24. Old Collingwood
    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.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Thanks mate, they say the primer is the "Tell tail" as it shows up everything. 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.
