    I once built (well watched my dad and did the easy bits) a Balsa plane kit with my dad when I was a kid, can't remember what type it was - but was fascinated watching the wings come together. OC.

    If I'm honest thats where I got ideas for painting/weathering figures - nothing quite like watching someone painting in real life. OC.

    Evening all, more progress - working on the base I added some stones from the garden - washed and scrubbed in bleach then glued down with a strong glue (lets see if they stick) OC.

    Amazing attention to detail, and a good call on the internal supports, I did similar in my LHS buildings. OC.

    Evening all, thank you all for the messages and likes, not much of an update - I have glued down the raptor underneath Rexy, tomorrow I will do a bit of work on the base as its plastic simulated rough ground - I wont do to much to it just add a few layers of flat top coat to take some of the shine off it (may also add a few small rocks and blades of grass). OC.

    Thank you kindly Phil. OC.

    Evening all, I added a few more washes to day, then decided to pose raptor along with Rexy and Dippy on the base, light was bad so please excuse the IQ. Oh, the Yellow tape on Rexy needs removing. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, start of the washes stage - first the Dark one will be followed by a Brown one. OC.

    After doing some research I think my Velo is actually a Utahraptor as they are much bigger than a Velociraptor, my one has a scale size eqv to 15feet in length and scale accurate with Rexy, they are from the same family but just a larger progression and most likely what was used in the Jurassic Films. https://a-z-animals.com/blog/utahraptor-vs-velociraptor-who-would-win-in-a-fight/ OC.

    Currently watching "Sharp" on tv, the episode with LHS and the not very accurate account of it - shows manilt Red jackets in the farm and Sharp and the 95th so wrong lol. OC.

    Sorry to hear that Craig, but hope the new little fella has a long healthy life with you guys. 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.
