    Evening all on this very wet day, so more progress and the result - I have finished the 55th Ligne Officer, still needs flat top coat - but I am waiting for dryer weather. OC.
  7. Old Collingwood
    Always a tricky area getting the line of planks right - practice I guess, you will do it mate. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    But we can share with brothers and friends here - its unique here for that reason, very special place we have.💜 OC.

    We will have to sing some Sea Shanties while we are waiting - who's gonna start? OC.

    That is some complex work going on there mate, I think the additon of lower constructions and how you fit them - is down to how you feel about the level of difficulty - some times we can battle against the impossible. Just do what you feel ok with. OC.

    Behave - show off. OC.

    Evening all, so the painting begins - did about Two hours on an Officer from the 55th Ligne Fusiliers. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    I was going to say a similar things - each stage you move through - the more impressive it becomes - changing from a model into a scale scene. OC.

    Thank you kindly for looking in Lou it really doesn't matter that you are not commenting on every word I write, your interest above is enough mate. Yep reinacting is something I have so wanted to do - but lifestyle makes it just a lounge chair interest, my interest in the English Civil War from the 1600's even includes my late Grans cottage that dated from that period and had Royalist troops in the house (there was an inscription carved into one of the Oak beams in the cottage) my father used to talk to me about it. I know Waterloo is different - but again it re-lites my passion for toy soldiers from being a kid with all those Airfix OO scale Waterloo sets, just now slightly larger (not mutch) and a bit more patience from getting older (just a bit) OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Yep - they are decals on my Chinook panel looks Ok with a few coats of clear over the top. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Hey! thats looking impressive - love that deck mate. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Tell you what I have seen some do with the instruments/dials - drill them out and use a paper template drawn or painted and a piece of clear perspex to simulate dials - or the raised details molded on being hand painted vs pe ones that are pre-painted, preaty much varied what you can do. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Looking good mate. 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.
