    A bit more weathering on mossie, the aerial broke away (I hit it with my brush)🙄 so I glued it back down by making a puddle of ca, aerial not looking too good - but it is what it is, so I'm calling the airframe finished - just waiting to fit the bombs when thay are done. Got a few pics for you ........ OC.

    More words - no pictures (I know - boring) so after letting the 500 pounders dry - the one way up, I worked out a stratergy - sit them nose down (painted ends) in blue tak on a block of wood then just spray the tails. Just had enough pain to do the job. OC.

    I agree with Lou, I tried building a Destroyer in 1/700 scale but lacked high mag viewing and good light - so I really struggled also used hand painting in too think layers - you are doing a Fab job. OC.

    Have you got setting solutions like Micro Set and Sol? they do help massivly. OC.

    Those decals look in good order despite thier age - no fading and good colour from what I can see. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Plan is - when dry hold them from the other end (protected with some tape) then spray the un-painted ends. OC.

    Part of the modeling world I think we have all gone down - "Sods Law" loves to play us a visit" OC.

    "Fight the good fight" get a load of kits out put them on the table and say - "Priorities - must get on with them now" OC.

    Good day all, next stage in the Mossie saga - 500Lb painting, first I had to mockk up some kind of frame work to allow me to hold and spray - best I could come up with Peggy and Springy, I will paint this way then when dry spray the other end. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood

  24. Old Collingwood

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.
