    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.

    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.

    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.

    Happy New Year to everyone, I managed to get on the pearl today and continue with the canons, same procedure as before trapping the breach ropes then gluing then inplace - firstly I glued into the place the next two that had been painted and weathered, then I worked on the next six prior to painting.

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.
