    Yep, I know some who would spend months even taking thier family on skirmishes they would turn into long holidays, you would see them all dressed fittingly. OC.

    Was going to recommend heat with a plank heat bending tool - they type thats like an electrical soldering iron with a rounded section on the end to heat the planks - works well on soaked planks. OC.

    What type of kit/kits are you building or want to build? Welcome by the way. OC.

    Indeed Roger and very costly if you take it to extremes, if you are just a basic pike man - its quite an easy and cheap way in - they will even lend you some gear/clothing till you can either maker your own/have someone make it for you or buy it. OC.

    Evening all, I got a bit more done on the "Wokka Bird" first I glued the two sections of the cabin bulkhead together, then I removed the rear cabin floor and did small amount of tidy up around the edges - then I applied a couple of coats of the main Grey colour, then when dry I have masked out the floor ready for the darker Grey colour. OC.

    Thank you for the link, I was really into the whole reinactment society - still have a few internet friends who take part for either the English Cival Society (ECW) or the Sealed Knot, I have alwys loved the Royalist side ( I dont know something about the look of a Cavalier) I toyed with becoming a member as a Royalist Dragoon, but I have never been on a horse. I still love the whole thing but from my armchair. OC.

    I will be leaving the ramp down and both front windows open. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Sounds like a plan, dont foreget to start a build log when you deside what you want to build. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Excellent work going one - lots of nice details. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Shame - when its buttoned up it will be next ti impossible to see these details. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Ken. OC.

    OK! lets get this into perspective - we build our models in our forum we all use our skills and turn out some Amazing work, But, this is on another level with this level of skill on a full size media - Amazing. OC.

    Hi all, right straight in - The kit starts with the inside cabin/cockpit bulkhead, this has shelf with different items on it - and the other side of the cockpit entrance is some pipework and wiring, basis steps of primer - paint layers - details - shading then highlighting. Its a start not looking too bad. 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.
