    Good evening all, no picture content as nothing to see - but I have cleaned both the hull and turret in soapy water with a brush and put away to dry. OC.

    Thank you kindly Alan mate, I have a flat 3/4 brush with slightly stiff bristles (but that seems to be the types that works best). And with primer (not using one) I have the vallejo Black primer but I dont think some paints adhere to it very well as it has a slight sheen to it and does not give a key for the base coat. OC.

    Happy new year to you all. Right thinking on my feet ahead of me starting back on this re primer - I wonder if it needs it if I make sure the surface is clean and free of any release agents (yep I know I did not wash the parts first before assembling) I could use a flat brush and use a soapy water mix and brush it over the hull and turret and let dry before I do anything, then I am thinking of just hand painting with my base colour/s with my sligtly stiff flat brush (I have seen vids where a slightly stiff bristle brush is favoured over a soft one for brush painting these kind of kits) I have one such brush its an Army Painter one and quite good quality 3/4 inch I think. Looking forward to getting back at the table even if I am not working on my Waterloo dio at mo. OC.

    Thank yuo Alan, I tried a an idea out on my hand painted Warspite build where I used a cloth with a bit of water, to polish the painted hull after the paint was Fully dry, this smoothed out any brush marks - it did a quite good job to be fair. OC.

    Good to know brother. OC.

    Looking splendid Phil. OC.

    Morning all, and Merry Christmas. I keep studying videos of other builders brush painting there model tanks, and its got me tempted to have a go in the New Year - it will need me to check out my Vallejo Acrylic Surface Primer to see if its still usable after all this time (or even enough) and to see if I can prime the whole tank yet keep it thin and smooth enough to preserve details. Then I will be considering Nato Green (all over) or Three colour European scheme, will have to see on that one - will see how the brush primer goes. 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.
