    I did that the first few tries with full size wheels, takes a while to get the sequence correct. OC.
  3. 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.

    If your figure painting is like all the other stuff you do - they will be more than nice. OC.

    "Wheel Lacing" remember those days - not with motor cycles but bicycles, I built a few years back. OC.

    Really nicely done mate, one of the best Buccs I have seen built. OC.

    The Buck (Brick) could have been employed for low down bombing duties, and I guess the F4 could have added cover for them. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Certainly is. OC.

    And R/026 onboards the Ark. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Some Ark Royal scenes including a Wessex. OC.

  15. Old Collingwood
    Its turning into a Fantastic Project. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    That is looking Superb Craig, you will have to do a RN Phantom to go with her. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Really nice work mate, that second planking is coming along so nice. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Reminds me of a few of the racers I used to see at Airshows. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    I also used to love 35mm film cameras, had a few before digi came out - my main subjects where Aircraft and Airshows. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    No problem at all. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Superb work, all the extra work will so be worth it as she builds into a real piece of art. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    What our brother above said. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    So sorry to hear about your mum Kevin, hope all turns out ok. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    I remember too well trying to remove their mould lines either by blade or sand paper - no go, certainly can't detail them, I think your 3D idea is a Great one - let me know how things go with that. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Great work Scott, those figures are not easy to work with due to their soft plastic nature - looking good. 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.
