    One of only Two ever (none glue kits) I have made were a Dinky Diecast single decker bus kit that required building up from a complete shell with chasis/wheels/interior/double connected opening doors/bell it needed screwing together and painting, I also built a Ford Focus in a similar fashion also dieacst but already painted just needed screwing together. OC.

    Would do them with my pleasure - dont know how they would get here and back though. OC.
  6. Old Collingwood
    I have to ask (can not help myself) are you going to do some figures? OC.

    Looking good Denis. OC.

    You are doing a really good job at a difficult and frustrating stage mate, the deadeye stage really got me going, as hard as I tried to keep them, all level (I failed) I took solace in being told they would probably move slightly due to the different strains they were under over time. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Amazing work at this scale. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    Looking really nice - it just looks so sharp - you know that look when everything fits perfectly. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    This isn't a model - it's a scale car - looking Superb. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Sounds like a plan mate - she is looking Superb a great modeler and a fine kit coming together. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    The admiral is ROFL over this just told her😊 OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    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.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Whats next in your plastic stash mate? OC.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Old Collingwood
    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.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Very very weird mate😲 OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more work on the KGL this time adding the strap painting. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Superb work on that Mill. 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.
