    Great work coming along here - just cant beat these simulated brick builds - by the way is that Prussian Blue I see in your paints behind - how do you find it regarding its Flat Matt finish? OC.

    Sorry mate - my sense of humour,🙃 I too have looked into sprayers but have fell back on rattle cans as my most convenient medium for spraying for me. however brush painting can still produce some amazing results. OC.

    That is looking rather nice Kevin - I think if it was me building her I would be trying to super detail her also. OC.

    You still on oil mate? I have had a conversion part fuel part static - mind you the later is from me dragging my slippers on the floor as I walk. OC.

    You could always get a model of an airbrush to start with - then get an airbrush to paint the model airbrush - "Gonna stop there - just getting too weird"😁 OC.

    Thank you kindly Edward. OC.

    Thanks Mark, I wonderd that - even went searching for modified chinooks RAF ones in the field, but all had the windows intact, I dont know it these windows could be opened or are fixed in place. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    I think I have rescued it - I have masked the windows including the domed ones at the rear, then I attached to Two rotor head mounts - then I was able to glue the other outer shell in place, it will need some tidy up work along the spine of the hull roof. So this is where I am at the moment. OC.

    Thats a good heads up Mike thank you, and thank you for the good wishes. OC.

    Very clean smooth finish mate. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Lou. OC.

    I think I may have rescued it................I dragged it out of the cupboard and remembered I had some fine wire I used to use for dabbing on ca glue, anyway as the Inner section is only joined to teh outer on one side, I was able to push the wire through and push the windows back into place, then run some poly around the outside frame - it wasn't the most ideal but I have some masks and will see if I can cut them a mil or so smaller to allow paint to cover any glue around the edges of the glass, its going to be rattle can primed then colour coat painted anyway, so that combination might cover my errors. "I Hope" OC.

    Hi Mark, trouble is I only have whats to hand and thats only revell poly. But...................... Read below. OC.

    I shall jump straight back into this tomorrow and do some more KGL infantry, trying to get my head round if I can change the stance of a few of them, as a few (well more than a few) were lying on the slanted roofs, and there are no figures in that stance in my stash - will have to see what I can do. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Im here mate - looking forward to this. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Kevin. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Ken, oh well win some loose some - I used to bin far more when I was younger. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Indeed Mike, trouble with this was - the galzing windows are slightly undersize so they need a reasonable amoubt of glue to hold them, then when its bolted up - theres nothing taht can be done if they are loose. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Nice start mate - looks a good moulding from what can be seen. 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.
