    Looking great mate - your attention to detail is amazing you have this knack of making the hardest thing look easy, and the end result is perfection. OC.

    SUPERB Work, I have to be honest, I cheeted with my Orks - I used the main plastic barrel arrangements and used the PE shields with them, then fitted them inside the tubs but with the PE Amo baskets - doors etc. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Loving the detail with the PE, I often wish some PE would come pre assembled like the Pom Poms or other complicated assemblies, surely companies like Pontas with all thier experience could do that - IM sure it would help a few of us with less tahn stella eyesight or dextrus fingers. OC.

    Craig I appologise if I came across like I was critisizing the lovely work you have done - I wasn't as she is looking superb an a credit to you and your craftmanship, I just thought I would offer what I had read when studying British RN Battleships of the period when building my Warspite. OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    Now that is looking impressive. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Looking really smart. Craig I was a bit confused with the color question at first as I had seen pictures of here in that mixed camo scheme, however what I will say is - almost all RN battleships used three main colours AP507A(RN Dark Grey) AP507B(RN Medium Grey) AP507C(RN Light GRey) I would have heonestly thought that she would have looked similar to Hood at the time with AP507B hull sides and sides of superstructure, and with AP507A on all tops and steal decks. Just my understanding of RN ships of the time. OC.

    Fantastic work craig those pom poms just look so fine and perfect, I have the same with my pontos bits and the Master barrels I brought when I brought the warspite. Keep up the great work you are doing OC.

    Hi folks thought I better say something on my build - well, I am still having quite bad hand problems from my condition that tbh seems to be not getting any better, even using my laptop is painful as resting my left hand and using the left key is pressing on the painful areas, flipping cant win, there isnt mutch I can do for it as its a guide and tendon problem and short of having major hand surgery, there is no way to treat it. Anyway enough of my moaning and to say that I will try to do some more to my build, even in little steps (Im feeling left out folks and miss the chat) Reagards as always OC.

    Can I also take a chair and follow with underwater goggles. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Do the whole wood deck in one strip before cutting in sections, thats what I would do, also try applying with a cloth so you control more evenly. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    I fould this on the net supposed to be from Dec 1943. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood

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.
