    Hi all, some good work today - I put some interior green down then ran some washes over it, after I worked on the three sub frames - painted and washed, then when dry (quickly with a hairdryer) I then did some highlighting - lots more to do yet as it still needs the bomb rails and brackets. OC.

    Thanks mark, its interior green paint time next followed up with some more washes and a bit of hightlighting then some more additions to add, going to build things in stages like that - painting and weathering them as I go instead of assembling the whole sub sections and trying to paint/weather. OC.

    I think it was put there for space reason (but agreed a very unusual arangement) OC.

    A kit "Basher " defines anyone who is prepaired to do their best with a kit and try anything they come up with. I think its a great title. OC.

    Done a bit more - I decided to fit some pipework - for this I used electrical fuse wire, I put a small smear of ca down then layed some wire, with a hairdryer to set It set in place - I then did the same to a run underneath. I then painted both fuel tanks the brick Red colour - for this I used Red Ocre, after drying this I added a few coats of dark wash - very watery then dried in between each layer, the main green shade still needs to be applied. OC.

    So! - It begins, I couldn't help it "I had to", I got the box out - checked the instructions and found the first build section (Bomb bay), so I cut away the first sections needed then put them in a tub and with the aid of washing up liquid/hot water and a tooth brush, I gave the parts a clean to remove the release agent. Then when dry I assembled the main bomb bay floor containing the fuel tanks, and the two bulkheads, this was set aside to dry. Here are the first two pics showing the stage so far and the instructions stage. OC.

    I was told by my farther they struggled to fit the beafed up engine in the same frame - they could have done with extending the frontal area. oc.

    I can see you and mark doing that Huey ride and posting the vid on here - that would be so cool. OC.

    Very nice work, bowsprit deck do you mean Forecastle deck - it meets the front of the ship near the bowsprit and can be flat from the mid ships or raised up. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work on the shrouds and rats. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Thank you for having a read through Bob and your kind comments. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    As well as the Mosi I won this on ebay for next to nothing - it was an opened box but all the parts are still in their bags I have been told - waiting for it to arrive, it is fitting as its another plane my father worked on. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Thanks mark. OC.

    You could do a door gunner mark. 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.
