    I still have "The Ole Lady" to carry on with (remember her) I stopped because of my hand condition, but touch wood it hasn't been too bad building my sub. OC.

    Time will tell tomorrow. OC.

    Yep I have done similar - the top of the sail is open at the moment, so I managed to find one of my brushes where the handle fitted inside with a quite tight fit, I ran some gaitor pva down inside around the handle, with any luck it will hold the brush handle enough tomorrow so I can hold it to spray with. Then when dry I should be able to cut away the handle to allow the top of the sail to be fitted. OC.

    I have it now mate, it turned up in the post today, I just need to find a way of holding the sub that gives me an easy way of spraying it with the rattle can. OC.

    More progress today - I seperated some of the pe parts and managed to loose one of them (as you do) these were the hatches, so I managed to fix in place two hatches and two accessnt hatches, these needed a slight bend to fit them to the profile of the top/side of the hull, I also fitted the top device infrot of the sail (not sute what it does), then two side hull covers were fitted - these have a slight opening at the rear. After finishing off the hull details I worked on the rear section containing the Stern Planes, water propeller system and cover. After fitting these components I gave the inside of the cover and prop blades a coat of brass paint. So this is the stage I am at sofar - next will be to crate a handle(stick) to hold the sub while I giver her and overall spray as my Nato Black has arrived. Thank you for all the views/likes and of course everyones imput. OC.

    You should do an early warspite to go with your seydlitz, they were both against each other at Jutland. OC.

    Stunning Work, there is no way you would guess these are not high level plastic or wood projects. OC.

    I decided to give her a "out of refit" condition with some slight weathering but a general overall color condition. The Nato Black have ordered is a Grey-Black color so it should look a lot better, and a rattle can to give a nice smooth finish. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    I gave her a rub down with some fine wet and dry and running water, I just need to fit the rear horiz stabs and a few bits on the hull, then the PE I received, all in preperation for the rattle can I am expecting in the post. 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.
