  2. Old Collingwood

  3. Old Collingwood

  4. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work with the barrels they so look the part. with the setting for her - why not part of a dio with a harbour wall behind? OC.
  5. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Denis. OC.

    Its good stuff and lasts as it only releases a small amount, the tube can block but if you put a thin needle down it with the end bent over or worse case heat the end of the tube with a fine flame like a candle / lighter it releases the glue again. OC.

    Good to see you making a start Revell do a very good plastic glue called Contacta has a fine metal tube so its nice and tidy. Pic off the net. OC.

    Thanks Ken, because I am worried (more than I will admit) I have been reassuring the admiral that all will be ok and we will get through some how almost like magic, and it will all return to normal, but I went very down missing a family member to reassure me. So i wanted to try to shrug it all off go on my build and just carry on - but I couldn't. OC.

    Thank you for that, I did try as Im trying to pretend if I close my eyes it will all just have been a dream. OC.

    No progress today not really in the mood to be honest, Its been one of those days lots of worry about getting the supplies we need, the admiral has been rough with a tight chest due to worry and stress (she has a heart condition as it is). Im sure I will do more on the mossie. OC.

    Microset and Sol are little bueties arnt they - so impressed with how they settle down a decal. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Denis, I think I will be ok with Revell's Contacta cement as it does not give of fumes when it dry's. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Ken. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood

  15. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly, it was just a case of being steady and working under good light. OC.

    Anyway life must go on - models we all need to build - I continued the restore job on the cockpit - just paintwork even created a few more painted frames - just about finished I think - next job to mask up and spray the fuselage around where the cockpit sits. OC.

    Thanks Mark, it will all be down to how careful I can be with the painting and placing of the canopy and final fixing down. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Kevin, I have a tube of that Revell Contacta Pro glue (the one with the fine needle tube) its very precise and goes down a thin layer, but also a thin layer can also go on to hide any tiny gaps when set - kind of looks like a weld smooth weld seam. OC.

    Thanks lou, yep I know Hannants I have brought off them in the past, I will have a go with mine for now - after I have painted it up and test fitted it (what I should have done correctly in the first place) then I will make the decision to go ahead with mine or have a look at Hannants. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Nice thorough work EG, reminds me of a job I used to do over here, we used to get Artics 40ft units (the type with a side curtain as well as two rear doors I use to handball unload them single handed. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Very nice mate - more and more she is looking the business. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Looking good mate. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    I have tried to rescue the canopy, I glued the edge on the inside where the crack started and then worked on the loose section that had fell out, this was glued back in then I did some tidy up, where the crack is visible I will paint a part framework and do the same on the opposing side so they match. Pics show dry fitted still needs painting and fitting. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Guess I can continue the building/painting and decaling till I can get a canopy. 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.
