    Very nicely done - she looks the business. OC.

    Thank you for looking over my build log, yes I will be returning to it, just for the time being I am not pushing myself with it as I want to be able to give it my best. There is still lots more to do to it - figures and scenery. OC.

    Good work, they will make So much difference when you start the Standing Riging as they will not bend like the plastic ones would have done. OC.
  4. Old Collingwood
    Yep there have been quite a few M Class ones over Two days. OC.

    Excellent painting skills Greg. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Greg its the washes that make all the differences with figures to bring out the details and give some seperation between the different uniform sections. OC.
  9. Old Collingwood
    Excellent weathering. OC.

    Superbly done. OC.

    Wooden top masts and spars will certainly benefit you, to avoid the rigging bending them. OC.

    You could always make the fem biker and keep her in your modeling desk - just get her out when the admiral aint looking....☺️ OC.

    On bicycle wheel/tyres I used to use a tyre lever or failing that a fork/spoon handle (metal type) OC.

    Hi there all my friends, I have not given up on this build - the figures are still sitting on the table going through stages of whistling, walking up and down the table - stomping their feet, and now they are just lying about the floor staring at the ceiling, I hear the occasional cough trying to get my attention. I will return just I locked my mojo away in one of the cupboards and need to find it. OC.

    I did that the first few tries with full size wheels, takes a while to get the sequence correct. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    No mate, never really played with bb guns or air rifles (my mum hated them). My wheel building came from working for a cycle manufacturer and some work in cycle shops - lacing and building wheel and lots of truing as part of a service. OC.

    "Spoke Nipples" OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    If your figure painting is like all the other stuff you do - they will be more than nice. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    "Wheel Lacing" remember those days - not with motor cycles but bicycles, I built a few years back. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    ICM do seem to make some Excellent kits. 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.
