    Evening all, I have decided in the absence of any Flat Coat Lacquer, I will re paint quite a few of the French arms, (as they are standing out the most and still slightly shiny like satin) my idea is based on the French uniforms where mainly a very dark Black - Blue, and tended to vary, what I will do is to use my Matt Black and add some Matt Blue at a ratio of say Eight drops Black to Two drops Blue, that way it should come out a nice Flat darker shade of Blue and may not need top coat lacquering until I can get some more lacquer for the rest of them.

    I have been carrying on with this but I'm getting to the bottom of my flat varnish and noticing that the finish is not going flat, its staying a satin shade despite me shaking the life out the bottle - guess I need to order some more. OC.

    Morning - evening all, just another small update - I am still brush top coating my stash (I have about 80 to do) what I do is to work on as many figures for the free bottles I have that I used to stand them on, them in the day light I give them a quick coat and leave them for 24hrs before giving them a second coat - then after removing them off the bottles - on to the next group, my phones wasn't charged so no pics. 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.
