    If it helps at all - you can look through my build log for her - might give some insight into her. OC.

    Looking good Alan, PE work is always one of those "Hold your breath" type things. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood
    Indeed brother. OC.

    Yes I had heard the new film was very lacking more of a bio just on him, and not very accurate regarding the battle. OC.

    Morning all, so - where I am at right now, I have flat coat varnished about 30 of my French dudes with more to do, I also have some British that need the same treatment - however I have ordered a bottle of Loctite Flexible Gel Super Glue ( I have read a lot of good thngs about this glue) the idea is when it arrives I will cut away what ever figures I have done, that can then be placed on my dio dependent on areas being finished - like the road and orchard. OC.

    This sounds ambitious but good luck, I also part finished this kit, I got the Hull 95% finished then gave up on her. OC.

    Looking good, I hear your woes over decal placing, I went through it with my old mossie build where some decs just wouldn't settle. OC.

    So I can confirm - warming up my Acrylic Varnish does help the flow and dulling (with a Matt Varnish) I think our temp being lower over this side of the pond to you guys over there may have something to do with it as at a guess I would have been brushing it on at a temp of roughly 12*C - 53*F but heating it up to around 25*C seems to help - still needs a good shake after warming though. OC.

    What an excellent way of applying the grass - static science in a bottle. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly. OC.

    Update - I think my trick of warming up the bottle has worked, as the finish seems more flat now - Third time Lucky. OC.

    Evening all, I have been pulling my hair out applying a few coats of my Mig Ammo Lucky Ultra Matt Acrylic varnish, despite shaking it till me arm nearly falls off and brushing it on very thnly - do you thnk I can get the Blues on the jacket arms to go (fabric shade) flat - Nope, they are staying like a slight satin sheen, simply dont know the reason or answer. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood

    Not about LHS but about the defence of Hougoumont at Waterloo - found an excellent Google Maps walk through inside the courtyard and buildings - OC. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.6706522,4.3946093,3a,75y,82.88h,88.93t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAF1QipPIJOCdFc4-hzW-uvug44tVEUNztoNDiwf40IvP!2e10!7i9390!8i4695?entry=ttu

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.
