No problem at all Edward Im just glad you liked it - it was a very passionate build set out as special work for the admiral, it was spured on by us both loving Pirates of the Caribbean films, and also getting its blessing from one of the cast who I chat to. It proved to me what you can do with plastic as it can work along side wood. OC.

Would your deck planks not lightly sand up to smooth them slightly? I know in real life they would have had a lot of abuse and wear and tear, I always wanted to achieve a bleached aged wood affect on mine uisng the wire wool/vinegar jar system, then a few coats of flat clear to seal it all in. Not sure if that helps my friend. OC.

Old Collingwood replied to jwvolz's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Looking good. OC. -
Good evening all hope your all in good health, right then I did another hour on the spit, firstly I fitted the two ailerons straight forward procedure, then I fitted the wing tips - again glued straight on with no fuss, what amazes me is the scale cord thiness of the wings just like the real thing. OC.

Thank you kindly, I thought the figures would give it some life - tried to represent the characters from the Film, will look forward to seeing what you do with yours. 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.
