    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.

    I did mine after I had second planked - just small pieces of 1mm strip. OC.
  18. 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.
  19. Old Collingwood
    I think that piece just slots underneath the main figurehead working with the angle of the beakhead - OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Dont foreget you still have to plank the beakhead - that will alter the thickness. OC.
  21. 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.
  22. Old Collingwood

  23. 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.
  24. Old Collingwood
    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.
  25. 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.

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.
