    Yep its a good move by Eduard to make them hollowed out - I can imagine the effort to try to hollow them out by hand (enter cross eyed emoji) OC.

    Good day everyone hope all are well, I decided to do a bit more this afternoon as the weather was pants with light rain so no sitting in the back patio, so I decided to work on one of the exhaust manifolds - this is built up using four sections, after assembly I painted the insides of the exhausts flat black then I made up a bronzy type colour by mixing flat black/flat alum and red ocre, then after drying with my friend "Harold hairdryer" I glued it in place iniside the forward bulkhead, then I dry fitted the engine comp cover. OC.

    I must do a bit more later today, I decided to have a lazy day infront of the box watching some chill out tv shows last night, I will have a general check over the bits I last fitted than will probably work on the exhaust systems, these even have hollowed out pipes so they will be blacked inside then after fitting I will paint the outsides in a rusty bronze colour I will make up from mixing flat alum and some red ocre (same as I did on the Mossie exhausts) then I will be able to glue down the engine cover I made up the other day. 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.
