    With my figures I use a pallette and just mix into it a range of colours I want one colour at a time, normaly starting with the skin face and hands, to me a "wet pallette" is just keeping the mixed paint wet with water. Different people paint the rest of the figures details in different ways but I try to do the fine details like belts etc first the the clothing and normaly kind of work downwards with shoes/boots last. Hope that helps. OC.

    Evening all, so I found my mojo - its was in the bedroom cabinet, so I pulled my finger out plugged my table lamp in and made a start. I decided to do a bit of multi tasking - so first I painted the flesh on the last of primed 2nd KGL, these where given a few coats as they dried quite quick, while they were drying I then painted tha Red jackets on my 5th KGL injured, again I was able to apply a few coats as they were drying. So here a couple of pics - The Red coats are still a bit shiny as they are not fully dry yet. Good to be back on the bench. 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.
