    Now that is looking Nice - sharp details and you was so right to do the decks with the wood - it really sets the ship off against your excellent painting. OC.
  2. Old Collingwood
    That looks excellent Mark. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood

    So I have made another start - here is Major Baring on his horse un painted. He is not glued in the saddle yet so I can fiddle around with his position. OC.

    You need to invest in Ten pairs of hands so you can "multi-multi-multi-multi task and build many"😁 OC.

    Afternoon all, I'm back - I decided to give my Chinook build a slight rest while I do somemore work here - I decided to have a go at building the chap who was in overall control over the Farm no less than - Major Georg von Baring, as he stayed "sted fast" with his army right through the battle for the farm. Pic off the net showing him on his horse. OC.

    Right then everyone, I'm going to put a little hold on this - Just when it was getting interesting, as I want to do somemore work on my Waterloo project - see you over there😉 OC.

    Thanks Ken. OC.

    Thanks Ken, yep the rear roof area in the kit is a bit "basic" you can get update sets that include that area - but just as good to fo it yourself. OC.

    Evening all, I made some good progress today - I started on the rear roof area above the ramp, this area in the kit is a little bit bare of any detail, so after looking at some photos online - some scratch building was called for, so some card and a few other pieces later and I had a plate to be glued to the roof, I also added another one slightly smaller - then a few coats of paint and a bit of shading and this is the result. OC.

    Thank you Edward. OC.

    Thank you Lou, yep it was probably a requirement to amke sure they were tidy inside. OC.

    Evening all, I got some good progress done today - I finished off attaching the the other folded seats - then I glued both side walls to the floor, this was a fiddly operation getting the position right while not damaging the seats, I left them to set for a few hours then I located the roof part - this was dry fitted and I soon dicovered it needed a bit of wiggling to get it to lign up with the lugs and wall edges, after moving the side walls slightly I was able to glue the roof down - while positioning it while the glue was setting. So this is the inner section boxed together just needs some detail painting to the inner ramp roof area, before I can fit both outer sides. OC.

    Good advice Ken - you have covered all there is realy. OC.

    What I would be tempted to do with the end fraying is to keep it taut then serve it with fine thread near where you want the end to be to stop it fraying, you would only have to do about 5 -10mm. OC.

    Thank you so much Bob. OC.

    Evening all, next stage in my train build - I mean wokka build is the inner side wall details - this starts with applying a few decals for the emergency exit and first aid boxes, after these were on I put a few coats of micro sol on to settle then down in to the curves of the padding on the walls, then I worked on the last section of bench seating - this was constructed to represent then in a folded up position (they needed a bit of chopping here and there) they were then painted then glued in place. They are not glued to the floor yet - just placed to show how they will look. OC.

    Hello my friend - how did I miss the start of this build - excellent work, consider me well and truly following now (even brought a chair) OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Looking forward to it bro, you are collecting some excellent stuff there - should make your build really jump out the screen. I too have a little plan for next year to bring me back into some ship building in 1/350 scale - but that wont be till late 21. I have a few builds planned for next year .........😉🙂 OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Thanks bro, I'm sure it was a kit - a friend past me over one some years ago - but I can't remember. 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.
