    Think Im gonna finish the pearl minus masts - I'll tell the admiral she had no masts (she was just imagining that she did) think I now the answer to that ####@@@@ etc etc followed by a week sent to coventry.😬 OC.

    Where we used to live we used to see type 23 frigates almost every day, sometimes more than one movement a day, here is one of my pics taken from that time - OC.

    It looks like a Superb kit - very tidy molding - I peeped inside while the admiral wasn't looking.🤪 and all the PE. OC.

    My little supprise prezzy turned up from my brother (as a thank you he says) to say I was gob smacked is an understatment - Its only the Trumpy 1/350 HMS Monmouth Frigate and a few detail bits.😀 Instruction from the admiral - cant start it till the pearl is finished at a guess 2020 then lol. Here are a few pics of it - OC.

    More progress on the pearl but a bit more slowly to be honest, I have started working on and fitting the lids with associated lifting ropes, I have done four on each side so far. Just a couple of pics. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Yeah, I have the plastic tackle that is in the kit, might have a go a dropping them on. OC.

    Thnaks mate, I wondered as I painted the anti fouling on my warpy and the whole of my sub build with rattle cans. OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    My logic is - if you rattle can the frets uisng primer and required color, its easier to hold and get an even spray coat, then seems could be touched up with the same color by brush when assembled. Only an enuiry if you dont have a sprayer. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Greg, any advice for painting using rattle cans - as in - spray the parts prior to assembly or assemble first then paint all that is built in one go. OC.

    Thank You wallace - very nice of you to say. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Thank you jason - much appreciated, I do have the hauling rope assemblies included in the lit - they are pre molded ones, they could in theory be dropped in place/glued at each end. OC.

    This is the shade I created for my frigate starting with Admiralty Paint range of Yellow Ocre then I added the same makes Dull White, of about 3 parts yellow and one part white. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Excellent - most excellent. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    With HMS Belfast also lots and lots of good photo material around - not to mention the actual ship in London. (I have been over her) OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    I would be tempted to do what I did with my 18the century Frigate - just lighten the Yellow Ocre by about 1/4 with dull white, to achieve a more sedate dull sandy yellow, over the stock yellow ocre. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Get the Trumpy HMS Belfast kit carl? those pom poms would fit that a treat. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Bigger and bigger - magnification glasses is the key but also steady hands - oh and support like what artists use to rest thier brush hand, and not foregetting tiny device to hold the thing. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Yep, I remember the Pom Pom show - did the same on my warpy kit. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly carl. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Keep up the good work carl - she is looking mighty nice. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kevin. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    I'll take a seat with Lou so we can be naughty and throw popcorn about, looking to be an intersting build. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Looking super - very detailed and tidy work. 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.
