    Hiya greg, that was kind of my thinking the scribing would kind of show the undercoat (well unpainted plastic). OC.

    "Nope" she scarred of flying and that would include me flying. OC.

    Sounds like a plan - when we coming over to lend a hand? OC.

    I have a small flexible metal rule type thing with different shapes cut out in it, some squares and circles, might try that. OC,

    In an ideal modeling world this would be what I am aiming for, accustic tiles and all, just dont know how realistic it is at this scale just using brushes. Not one of my pics. OC.

    Hi mate. My sleep patterns are all over the place, but I tend to be up into the early hours as the wife has troubles with her sleep and I like to keep an eye on her, so I have my laptop on in bed. OC.

    Have a look on our friend ebay for clear plastic sheets etc there should be quite a bit to choose from. OC.

    Simple - build her in the living room on your dinning table (like I do) that way the admmiral can keep tabs and ask for the occasional cuppa or tea. OC.

    It was a challenge for my hairy sticks, but I kept the coats very thin like thin milk, and I do find my Lifecolor Acrylic very good and very tough, within a few hours of painting and hair dryer between coats, I was soon able to smooth the hulls down with soapy water and a sponge, and no rubbing off with the paint. OC.

    Thanks chris, I used to see a few go past where I used to live. OC.

    Hiya lou thanks for looking in, the idea is to paint the whole hull a dark grey sheme but alsong the top centerline is a flat back anti-slip finish, there are some recessed panel lines that I hope to show with dark grey washing in the lines, not sure if my cell phone camera will be good enough to show this, mind you its done ok so far. 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.
