    Good day all, so - paintwork done on the props and spinners then they were put togther, then "The Big Reveal" the fuslelage camo/Black paintwork came out ok I think. So I dry fitted them all together - here are a few dry fit possing pics. OC.

    After a day in the yard charging me Vit D cells I then de masked the fuselage - not too bad, demarcation line had a bit of a ridge so I attacked it with smooth wet and dry soon sorted, then I noticed a bit of camo that needed correcting - so back on went the masking using tape a bag and blu tac and a quick re spray over a tiny area, I then put it away to dry. I then turned my attention to the props and spinners - the spinners was a bit awkward getting a smooth sprayed finish as I kept getting some over spray, so plan number Two hand paint with Nato Black - so this was done, I put them aside and tipped the props yellow after masking. OC.

    This keeps me company after I have done some building - usualy put shandy in it. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Here you go - I know you couldn't wait😉 It looks worse because of the poor kitchen lighting, the rear section under the tail is blu tac, and I assure you the finish is smoother than the phone makes out (and will be with some cloth polishing - prior to spraying a flat coat) OC.

    Excellent work Mark, bet your so pleased getting the First planking done (hows your hands from the sanding - I remember getiing quite saw fingers with mine) I love the idea of you doing your own rear panel so many kit ones are lacking. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Same as what Denis said welcome back. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Just as Edward said your gun ports came out spot on, also I love the shaping of the hull and the smooth work on her, nothing wrong with that in any shape or form, really coming on my friend. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    That is looking excellent mate coming togther nicely. 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.
