    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.

    I remember the dust boxes that were fitted to S - 61 Sea Kings - I think related to when they went out to the Kuwait/ Iraq areas, I think they were not just screens but actual filters - they looked powerd as they were a physical box. OC.

    Evening all - next on my build was a stage that I thought was going to be difficult - the engine covers, these little beauties have little mesh screens fitted into them - this is done (in principle) by using a paper template and cutting the mash to fit then glueing them into the gaps - "No Way" was this going to happen - as we know mesh is akward when trying to cut through the threads, so my idea and plan was to fit them each in Two sections inside the covers using the glue to hold them in place. So about Two hours later I have created Two engine covers - and glued in place. 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.
