    There a faded grey/black but deffinatley more towards a black side than the RAF Blue - the light (strong from above) probably didn't help. OC.

    More progress this evening - first I bashed up the Jeep with washes and high lighting, then I painted and added "Red" the setter, she jumped up on the jeep and is sitting on the rear seat waging her tail, excited by all the activity. Next I continued with the tractor adding more washes and building the engine that was then fitted in place. Pic shows the dry fitting of the engine cover. OC.

    Hi mate, yep I have a bit more weathering to do to it yet - but not too much my dad used to tell me "if its still - paint it - if it moves still paint it". OC.
  9. Old Collingwood

    Also next on the agenda is a Tractor - this is a multi section build starting from the bottom up with the one piece chasis, then the body - engine - engine cover - rad unit, after giving the parts a light tidy up, I first gave the chasis a few coats of Nato Black, then when dry I brushed in some dark wash and finished off with a flat alum dry brush - this was then sealed with a flat coat (all brush painted even the bodywork) Then it was the bodywork this was painted with a few coats the RAF Grey same as the jeep, so still two separate assemblies waiting to be pu together. OC.

    Hi all, I.m back as I promised - remember I told you all about that under size wheel columb (suitable just for a child) well I took it out removed the wheel from the columb, then I drilled a fresh hole under the wheel, and after finding the correct size piece of dowel (after sanding it down) I then glued the two together, then I kept offering up the wheel combo to the jeep till I found the right size - then it was glued in place. I then went through my decal stash and found the correct roundal this was then placed and A few applications of micro sol are being put over it. So this is the status of the jeep as she stands now - with a much better size wheel/columb hight. OC.

  20. Old Collingwood
    Thank you so much Jack, I like it as its a different scheme from the camo jobs. OC.

    I think they were very popular because of thier great agility and turn of speed, the vesion I built had the same engine (with a few Naval mods) as the Spitfire IX and that was some machine able to out run and out fly a FW190 (and thats saying something) they carried the addional tank under the belly to extend the range as in fairness the Seafire and Spit did mot have a massive range on pure frame tanks, this did reduce there max speed a bit though but it was still very very good. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Yep later Ken, just make sure you come back, Im tempted to hang some fury dice off the staring wheel or give the seats some fury coverings oh and some of those "nodding dogs"😀 OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    What a Superb build well done finishing her. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    To add to what EG has said - I also find those pointed Q tips really useful (like the ones you get with photographic cleaning sets) OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    No need to brother, I enjoy the convos we have - we all gain something from it and its very interesting. 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.
