    Thank you for looking into that for me EG, I was thinking - I have hand painted the bottom wings on my Mossie and hasn't turned out too bad, so I should be able to hand paint the Bottom of the Seafire to the same standard - cheaper as well just a few quid (UK pounds). I have the Dark Grey rattke can I need I brought that months ago as I wasn't sure about the color on my mossie. So I will order a tin of XF21 off flea bay. OC.

    I still record stuff but not by bass that went a long time ago, my main musical interest is Digital recording Synths VST, I have a bout 4 on my laptop, I record amd mix sections in a laptop device called Wavepad its quite good you can save as Mp3 or WAV files, I have some of my stuff that I have done on my own and some with a few musician friends stored in Bandcamp. I have to be in the mood though as a lot of the time im to dry to get my head round making music and other times it just flows. One of my VST's - OC.

    Thank you kindly, I will admit it nearly took off out the back door, but I counted to Ten instead stomped my feet cursed a bit - and felt a lot better, I did get a few words from the admiral though along the lines off "Why make them if they make you so upset" OC.

    Lovely work on those camo jobs really sharp mate. OC.

    Lots of nice progress there Denis carpet monsters do exsist - they move around our site at free will so we never see them, they have a cumming disguise and blend in well to carpets/rugs even hard flooring, just dont tread on one "have heard you could loose a leg" Did I hear you say "Bass Guitar" I used to own this bad boy a good few years back. OC.

    Oh foregot to mention - the exhaust manifold colour is a made up mix of part red ocre, part flat alum and part black then just mixed till I got that colour. OC.

    The wings were not affected (thankfully) that wing above was the last to be painted and hasn't had that Acrylic top coat problem (And Wont) but pleased how it has come out. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Despite the issues you have had with the poor fit - you are doing a great job, I love the paint finish. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    A bit more progress - firstly I sprayed the first Ocean Grey coat then put the fuselage away in the box to dry, then I continued with the wing - applying a few coats of Black by hand, this went on withought event and had about 4 layers. I then touched up a few small areas in Black and Cockpit Green, I finished off by painting flat Alum in the Two wing camera housings. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Recycled paper is the trick - Poo that. OC.
  23. 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.
