    Mark, that not my work its the companies advertising shot, I am waiting on the spru containg the parts to assemble it yet, I posted it to show how it could paint up and to show the level of detail in the sculpt. OC.

    Thank you kindly Alan, its one of the latests sculpts by Victrix - they have sharpened up the details including thinner more realistic horse reins and even scribed details on the saddle details, even the figures look good. OC.

    Evening all, I thought i should try an incentive to kick my self into doing something with my build, so I have brought a single spru containing Three riders and horses of the Polish Lancers that where at Waterloo - should make an interesting pose when made and painted - here is how they paint up from the Victrix catalogue. OC.

    Just a case of playing with the brush to get the paint on while clearing the gaps, just technique - a bit fiddly but do able. OC.

    Also be Very Careful cutting them off the fret - they need a very sharp blade and a solid flat surface underneath - like a tile or similar to stop them from bending. OC.

    Indeed - requires some delicate handling, but very nice when on, there are different ways to attach them - some people like to do small lengths at a time, others do longer runs, also there are different ways to apply the glue (super glue) you can use a fine wire or needle to apply on the ship where you want to fix the railing, or you could make a small puddle on a scrap piece of flat board etc, and gently tip the bottom of the railing using some fine tweezers just to coat the bottom of the railing - then place on the ship. Its all about finding the way that works best for you. OC.

    That is looking so nice Craig. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Excellently done, not the easiest of challenges as I know the kit itself has its own set of challenges - you have made a marvellous job of her. OC.

    You could buy the PE railing sets I thunk they do them in 600scale or you might get away with 700scale, because they are thin metal you would need to use super glue to attach them. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Not quite sure how you could create the hand rails without having some PE ones to hand, might be difficult, I have found two pics of the front masts etc and securing lines, also the rear showing the railings - double click on both or drag them with the right click mouse to enlarge them. OC.

    Thank you kindly. OC.

  21. Old Collingwood
    Good to see you back on this - they are Supeb kits with all that internal detailing. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Superb work Alan, those trees really add to the scene - it really is looking very very fine. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    What a lovely shade od Red - looking really nice. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    More excellent work my friend - dont foreget to play with some washes and dry brusing for the highlights when you have done adding details, as they will help to bring the details out and really make it pop. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Awsome job on those boats Greg. 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.
