    Great work on the bomb bays - you so could go to town at that scale - make one drule. OC.
  2. Old Collingwood

    It was, think it was the same mold as there early 60-70s Apollo rescue S61, but modified with add on like the radar and sonar cover, also the engine sand filters. OC.

    Finished (at last) - I painted and added the last of the figures including an unlucky guy who was left to hang from the main upper mast (he just bones). Also I fitted two flags that I sent off for to get fabric ones, they were trimmed then had the rope trapped and secured, I got the drupe by applying pva and shaping when wet - then heated with a hairdryer to catch the shape. Its been a really enjoyable build and I can Highly recommend the kit to anyone. Thank You to Every one who followed and commented. Here's the gallery light wasn't to good though indoors with just an over head light. OC.

    And there was me thinking the Italeri C130J herc was big in 1/48 scale, I had this kit a few years back but sold it on due to its size. OC.

    Carrying on with the saga - On the poop deck general quarters is called using the ships bell, while still on the poop deck another pirate checks the map, on the main deck peg leg joe comes over sword in hand , and at the same time another brings a chest up the front ladder from the main gun deck. OC.

    Excellent work - what a difference between the different deck mediums - and wow you must have so much patience doing all those tree nails. OC.

    Could try a couple of columns/pedestals one slightly longer than the other to get the lean you want? OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Couple of columns or perhaps a couple of frames - depends if you want them decorative or invisible? OC.

    Very nice work - its difficult making a small ship detailed and true to life as many kit fittings tend to be over scaled, I have been over one of the actual replica Hinds and can vouch for how small they are. With regards to your next build Victory I will look forward to that - that will be crying out for all your extra details. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work EJ I dont think I could attempt sail making. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    They look perfectly to scale - some canons in kits that I have seen (and used) have been way over scale. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Just found these very old files of an old build I did some years ago - not so much a build talk through - the only info really is it was a straight out of the box build of the Royal Navy Sea King Search and rescue version, it went together very well except for a terrible join where the one piece windscreen fits, this needed some considerable effort and glue to close the gap. I panted it with a hairy stick and Humbrol enamels and a top coat (humbrol again I think). Just a few pics. 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.
