    I used to love going round toy shops in the 70s where I used to live we used to have giant one over Three floors - they used to have a whole floor just on Action Man range of figures, Cloths and equipment/vehicles including a tank and jeep. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood
    So whats next - car, plane, ship or what - always love watching your builds. OC.

    We could call him "Ken the Cuirasier" like Conan the Barbarian but on a horse. OC.

    Very nice Denis, from a slightly different stance I am Into the Film Lost Boys (speak to Corey Feldham and Jamison Newlander quite abit) hoping to build a kit of one of them from the film when I find a kit. OC.

    Christmas, "When was Easter" - don't remember it. OC.
  7. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, I have finished the Cuirasier Officer and placed him on his horse - just needs the finishing flat coat. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Fine work mate - she does look attractive in that paint finish. OC.
  9. Old Collingwood
    That is well executed - you did fine correcting those planks. OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    That is looking so Damn impressive - really worth the effort with the sails. Keep smiling my friend all the best. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Looking good - The "Pointy" end is looking well - Pointy - you are doing fine work Not easy at Full Scale all your hard work will be worth it in the end. As an example of a "Not" very good project - my late farther once built me a square wooden paddling pool - it didn't work fell apart but the good news - atleast it watered the plants in the garden. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Supprisingly roomy inside the actual ones - about the same size as a family sallon, great work by the way. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    That is so nice of you to say EG, I guess like all things in modeling - the more practice we get - the better we achieve things, kind of pick up from mistakes from before, I also have a better routine for painting now - before I used to paint directly from the bottle/pot of paint wiping the excess on the rim, now I use a flat dish and just put in a few drops of paint off the brush and dilute with distilled water as required, that way I am able to get thinner layers down. OC.

    Evening all, right Black steed completed with all its normal attire, just needs a flat coat. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly Patrick. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Makes a Huge difference spraying to brush painting. OC.

    Found another Stunning video of the 2015 reinactment on the field at Waterloo it shows not only the battle but also behind the scene with everyone getting ready and the camp followers. OC. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=waterloo+2015&&view=detail&mid=539B8A3BC98165AC7CD3539B8A3BC98165AC7CD3&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dwaterloo%202015%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVR%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3Dwaterloo%202015%26sc%3D6-13%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D00108C67C5284F89BCF8E5A6D9C8029B
  18. Old Collingwood
    Another great one. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Another beauty. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Excellent work - with some great weathering. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, next on the "Waterloo conveyor belt" - a French Cuirassier officer resplendent with his plume, he is made along with his stead - next will be the paint layers. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Your welcome, keep up the great work you are doing. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    That will look Superb with washes and highlighting to bring the bones out - could you not remove the base from the bottom of the Pearl and use the Two legs pushed into Two gaps on the above skeleton bases - it would look Amazing (Totally like Nothing else that anyone has done) keep up the great work. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    That looks smart Denis - Really nice finish and the decals really pop. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Edward. 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.
