    Evening all, more multi tasking tonight - It was panel line time on both my seafire and spit, same system fro both using a pencil with a very fine point, I also worked on the extra addional fuel tank, after painting it was fitted under the belly. OC.

    Hi all, some more progress on this tonight - not a lot of content but time consuming, I have been panel marking using my adjustable draftsmans pencil (the type with the led you push out when the end breaks) anyway the system was to run the pencil then using a wet finger and a cloth clean as I go - seems to work quite well and is a tidy way of doing it. OC.

    I get you bro, some flaps have actuation hinges also - that in itself could be a headache as they would be different from the in flight flush versions. OC.

    A bit more progress this evening multi tasking with my Spit build (I know easy tiger) anyway I did a bit of tidy up including buffing the paintwork and also I thought it would be good to bring out the panel lines by re-gauging with my fine panel line tool. Family pic with my Spit. OC.

    Evening all, I got round to de-masking the IX today - it didn't turn out too bad, the green areas are now ok, as I want to shown a well used version with ware patches and paint fading - I decided to add these areas now, the Grey also needed touching up but first I had to mix up a shade as close to the rattle can Grey as possible (this isn't easy as we know) I reached a shade as close as possible, when this has fully hardened I will buff the finish to get a satin scheen. OC.

    I would need a super long garden for all that - but nice idea though. OC.

    Thank you kindly Denis, hope your doing ok. OC.

    This is a different mk of seafire but its the same colour scheme I am trying to replicate - think its the same? Pic off the net. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    I.m really impressed with how that has gone - you can see how it has changed and how it has become a really shiny - great stuff bro. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    No, the door on the cupboard does a good enough job to keep the smell inside. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Hi Harley, I use Tamiya Laquer Rattle cans for my painting, and during the drying process they give off quite a smell (the term for the his drying is called de-gasing) basically when the smell has gone they are ready to be handled. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, masks are off - needs a bit of touch up but fairly pleased how its turned out. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    I agree with Ken bro, your showing the stages step by step - thats a great help. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    I used it purely by chance - what is also good about it - you can shape it like putty using a scalpel blade to get it to fit nice a snug around the exhaust stacks. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    I'm here also. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Respect to you bro for doing these tests - its will be of help not just to your own build but others also. 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.
