    I did mine after I had second planked - just small pieces of 1mm strip. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    When I did my HMS Greyhound I planked ontop of my keel ans all the way up the beakhed and even the rudder post, I use 1mm strip (I think) OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    I think that piece just slots underneath the main figurehead working with the angle of the beakhead - OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Dont foreget you still have to plank the beakhead - that will alter the thickness. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    I am so chuffed and pleased that Still after all this time our family is still finding the build I did of interest. Thank You All. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood

    So have to be careful with certain chemicals products - slightly off topic (sorry) my late farther aircraft engineer, decided to clean out a petrol paint stripper tool using petrol BUT he then decided to dry it out in front of an open fire..............(((((BANG))))) My dad ended up in hospital for Two weeks with First degree Burns and my nans cottage where it happened had to have the front wall rebuilt. OC.

    Thank you so much, it was a real adventure to build I am so glad that I went with the figures, I am thrilled you both loved it. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    No problem at all Edward Im just glad you liked it - it was a very passionate build set out as special work for the admiral, it was spured on by us both loving Pirates of the Caribbean films, and also getting its blessing from one of the cast who I chat to. It proved to me what you can do with plastic as it can work along side wood. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Joe, keep up the good work on yours. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    To my eyes that is looking fine - cant see anything wrong with that. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Would your deck planks not lightly sand up to smooth them slightly? I know in real life they would have had a lot of abuse and wear and tear, I always wanted to achieve a bleached aged wood affect on mine uisng the wire wool/vinegar jar system, then a few coats of flat clear to seal it all in. Not sure if that helps my friend. OC.
  24. 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.
