    Thank you kindly Ken, what stands out about the kit is not just the fit of parts but also the quality of the plastic, its has a more solid feel to it yet in scale thickness. OC.

    A bit more progress to day (boy I love the fit of this kit so far - it almost falls together) next was to paint and fit the two pedals, quite straight forward they pop in below the bottom frame, next I glued the other side to close up the cabin bath tub assembly. After putting this aside - I woked on the two fuselage sides adding a few more fittings that were then painted and weathered, I thne did a dry fit - all seems well with the fuselage going together well. OC.

    Hi Lou, thank you for the kind words, the instrument panel is made of pre painted PE sections - a backing piece with the clocks painted on, then next the frontage with the dials and last a center section, after fitting them I dropped some semi gloss top coat onto the dials, superb craftsmanship. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Excellent work Kevin - loving the idea. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood

  19. Old Collingwood
    Thats turning out really nice - great work with the painting. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, hope everyone is ok - keep up your spirits we will get through this, anyway work continues starting with the instrument panel, this is a multi stage thing starting with the frame - this has three sections of PE to be attached to it, when set I painted underneath and around the frame in Green, then I built and painted the compass, this was then glued in place under the frame, I then did a bit of shading with a pancil and finished off by highlighting, next off was to build the gun sight - this is a clear part in two sections, I glued both together then painted around the frame. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Are you a clairvoyant Denis? OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    No problemo Jack - I think its trial and error as long as you havn't gone too far and made it like water - I would start with 30% and see how that goes. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Yep 30% thinner just enough to get a nice flowing liquid some say same consistency as milk, I think All enamels are meant to be diluted somewhat straight from the tin. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Wonderful work EJ, keep it up stay safe and try to keep busy mate. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Glad to hear it - we will build our woes away.☺️ 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.
