    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.

    Very tidy work - same method as I used tried and tested on here. OC.

    Thank you Denis. OC.
  9. Old Collingwood
    Lovely work on those camo jobs really sharp mate. OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    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.

    Looking geat Craig. 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.
  14. Old Collingwood
    Despite the issues you have had with the poor fit - you are doing a great job, I love the paint finish. OC.
  15. 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.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Recycled paper is the trick - Poo that. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Yes please mate, I will be well up to following that. saw a bunch of them when they deployed over here in the 80.s. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Joe. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Ken will like that top pic bottom left😉 OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Think how much popcorn that will be for Mark to bring............😜 OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    I am biased (just a little bit ) but will follow what ever you build with kean interest. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    "Please get the Mossie" heard there are some rather nice kits at that scale.......please please. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Thanks EG, this is what I have / will use (minus the Acrylic tin top coat that I now will not touch with a barge pole) - First (already down) then camo colours, then the Black, followed by the Flat top coat All tamiya Laquar sprays. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Mike, certainly lessons learned. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly Mike, I am fully relating to that, I think that is what happened a combination of what EG said and yourself - the laquar layer reacted (made worst by heat) with the Acrylic Tamiya top coat semi gloss. What I will do in future - Not mix laquar with Acrylic, and to finish my mossie off - use the two colour laquar tamiya rattle sprays, sort out some decs - put them down again using my micro set and sol, then after about a week or so use the tamiya laquar flat coat but somehow try not to spray it to thick (not that easy with rattle cans). 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.
