    I'm back, I put a handful of figures mainly the 2nd KGL and Lunebourg and some injured on some bottles to hold them, then i mixed up a small amount of my Mig Lucky acrylic flat coat, and did a very thin brush coat, then dried then off slightly with the hairdryer, they will need a second coat tomorrow.

    That chassis looks so sweet Craig, looks like the foundation of an excellent kit - and I know you will knock it out of the park. OC.

    Hi all, I decided I am going to give myself a good kick and have a go at this build, I have quite a few figures that are painted and weathered and need flat top coating, I have done away with my airbrush system for many reasons, but I can still brush paint the flat top coat as I still have some of it left in the bottle, they will then be put away to fully harden before I remove the bases. I have been missing working on this but I will be honest I kind of lost my mojo a bit and after packing everything away I could not be bothered to get it all out again, but I will just get out what I need to do these figures. OC.

    More excellent work - loving it. OC.

    Those are quite a striking difference I have only used a few of the 1/48 scale figures before - I thnk by the ICM range but they where WW2 aircrew. I tend to work with 28mm figures from the Victrix and Perry ranges and a few resin types that can be a bit over scale compared to the plastic ones, not much help I an affraid - but hopefully there will be more replies. OC.

    Just adding a few more photo edits including Marshal Ney who will not be displayed as he was further up the field of action untill he rode with the massed cavalry attack on the squares. OC.

    Great work as always my friend - its looking so impressive now, I know builds like these can sometimes make us pull our hair out - but when things start to work out and we our way through the building mist - it so becomes worth it. OC.

    Hi all, Is anyone looking to buy a cheap Airbrush kit as I have one that I am reluctantly letting it go, due to the cost of living problems at the moment. UK based. Please let me know if you are interested. 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.
