    I am trying to work a wash quiry out - the washes I use on my figures (all acrylics) tend to make the Matt paint surfaces on my figures slightly shinny like a satin finish, I wonder if the washes are like a satin texture to help them flow well, I was wondering if I could mix a 50-50 mix of my acrylic ultra matt varnish in with my wash in my wet palette - wonder if it would work to stop making the figures go shinny.

    I have been looking through my stash to try to make up a single Royal horse Guard, and I have a mash-up of parts - bottom section from my old Hussars - torso and arms and head from my Union brigade, I also have a single galloping horse with the correct saddle - pack etc - it should work (perkaps......) OC.

    I have decided after doing some research - to change the colour of the Horse under my LG as it should really be a Black large horse and not a Bay, also I have decided to add a single Royal horse Guard, as they where also involved in the mass attack on the French lines, he will be placed near the kitchen gardens hedge. The Blue in the jacket below will be darker as it will be just a Dark Blue. 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.
