Super fine work going on here could do with a new smiley saying "super fine detail going on here" :) OC.

Greg im loving the detail of the plates along the hull bottom, they are consistant with what I would have thought would have been on her, from battleship plans I have seen most have this routine patern of interlocking plates - similar to what I did on my Warspite lower hull. OC.
-
I have been following some build tips for this section - some suggest attaching the frame to the roof first followed by the floor, and others its the reverse, will have to see what works best - need to buy somemore ca glue first though before I do anything. OC/

Nimble fingers I dont think I have - gone from one extreme to the other - working with parts so tiny many would fit on one finger, to doing finger streaching exercises for my keyboard work (music type not laptop). OC.

Right folks - I thought I would show the project and area I will be working on next with my build, the picture shows the Pontos parts for the rear gallery(walk way) that was fitted at the back of Warspite and her sisters. Its 75% pontos brass bits but with the kit platic roof and will be a nice little project in its own right. OC.

Loving the detail on that hull so mutch scribed armour plate detail, wish my Warspite was as accurate and detailed. OC.

Hi folks - remember me? I just want to squash any rumours that I have been eaten alive by my keyboard or become too famous from producing music, to carry on building my Warspite, nope Im still about just waiting for my mojo to come back from its holiday and inspire me to carry on with the ole lady. OC.

Sounds like a plan greg - one day I mite get an airbrush type thingy, till then I am resigned to using a hairy stick with a bit of watered down paint and blowing on it, guess that is my airbrush OC.

I will be doing more work soon folks (promis) its just that I have had a few distractions from my joke and gag writting, getting a new camera set up and needing to test it out, then later getting an asignment to do some keyboard recording for a record to be produced later this year. Its like having so many irons in one fire - enjoyable but busy. OC.
-
So much detail at 200 scale I was so thinking of getting Hood in that scale for my 100th - when I finish my ole lady :D OC.
-
"Its looking realy good exciting like a book - amazing what all that work took" there you go I sang it while playing along on my keyboard OC.
-
What i intend to do is - make my ole girl with one hand while taking pics outside with the other - while recording onto my tascam from my keyboard with the other two hands OC.
-
Hi folks just saying hi Im still around just showing another reason for my distractions of late - I write music and here is another of my new toys to play with 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.
