    Thank you kindly Edward, the only thing that is scaring the living daylights out of me is spraying the Tamiya TS80 Clear top coat rattle can, I have no choice it has to be dulled and the rattle can is the only smooth way I can do it, so yep it is worrying me. OC.

    She is looking Super Kevin like Jim Lad said - she is looking so life like. OC.

    Evening all, spent a good day working on the remaining decals, great getting them placed, will leave than a good few days before applying the flat top coat (again its the Tamiya brand lacquer) just hope it doesn't react with the decals. Again pic show the wing just dry fitted. OC.

    Hi all, right the decaling process has begun - I started on the tail again with the two tail flashes, then I moved onto the two fuselage roundels, all these went down fine, next it was the side code letters, again these were placed but on the one side where there is a strengthening bar I am having to have a play around using a few coates of micro sol to get it to settle over the bar shape. It is currently sitting waiting for the decs to set. OC.

    Just seen this welcome aboard, did I read it correct - you are doing her as she appeared after the Battle of Trafalgar ie with battle damage? OC.

    Can you lightly sand the blue a bit to smooth out the dried on glue, then re paint it? OC.

    "What - made" that was bad your workmanship deserves far more than that. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood

    I have some fine fuse wire 3amp I think might try that, it attaches to the leading edge of the tail, what I might do is to drill a pilot hole in the edge of the tail then push the wire into it with a dab of ca, then attache the other end to the pe wireless pole on the fuselage. OC.

    Quite an artform for lacing and tuning a wheel using a rig with center blocks you position each side with the wheel center centtered, then you turn the nipple on each spoke increasing or decreasing the tention pulling/releasing the rim till it dead center between the block, you do this all around the rim till its true. (I used to build repair bicyles for a living years ago) OC.

    Excellent. OC.

    Thank you edward, some way to go yet, but atleast it shows the general finish, she still has to be re - decaled and to have her flat coat over her, then a few small bits and pieces like the bomb bay doors - 500lb bombs, entrance hatch door and ladder, and a radio wire. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Thanks mate, took a bit of fiddling and masking and masking oh and masking, but I'm quite pleased with the finish. OC.
  20. 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.
