    Evening all, more work continued on the Two horses - I basically changed their colour to match a more historically correct shade of dark Chestnuts. OC.
  2. Old Collingwood
    Just as an example here are my Waterloo 28mm figures that have been cut away from there plastic bases the glued down using CA glue.
  3. Old Collingwood
    I cut my bases off and trim the feet/shoes then use good Super Glue to fix my figures down - guess same should work with resin? You need to experiment with how much is enough but wont ooze out making a mess. OC.
  4. Old Collingwood
    I do it with my plastic figures - but might need more care with 3D resin ones. OC.
  5. Old Collingwood
    Please who ever does these - cut them off the bases before placing them on the decks.. OC.
  6. Old Collingwood
    Indeed, we need some figures in these Amazing builds - so adds to the real life of the builds. OC.
  7. Old Collingwood
    Ned to see more Dio's on these builds.... OC.
  8. Old Collingwood

  9. Old Collingwood
    That painting is of Plymouth UK. OC.

    Guitar I hear - I used to play Bass - OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    I have also made up some more sculpts including another shot Frenchman who has fell on his knee's, and Three other 54th/55th Ligne regiment - still some more to go. OC.

    Evening all, some more work done this evening - I dry brushed the Hussar horses legs and put them a side, I have also been working on my 2nd KGL second in command under Major Baring, he is also mounted on a horse, same level of detail as the Captains with some Silver detail on his tunic and a Red waist band sash, he is just placed on the horse not glued down. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work mate. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly Alan, I have a Flat coat to be airbrushed over them yet - that will flat all the sheen, but I may do some subtle cloth polishing of the horses fur after to get a very subtle sheen almost like a mat/satin sheen. Or I could get a small bottle of Vallejo Acrylic Satin Varnish and just hand paint over the horses hair/main/tail. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    That is looking mighty impressive Chris. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, Two 10th Hussars completed out of Three, they just need some dry brushing then put a way in the stash awaiting flat top coating. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly Mark, the 10th Hussars was the Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars, so that may have had an influence over their uniform colour. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Thank you so much Ken, its delicate work - needs a steady hand, thats why it can't be rushed. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly mate. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more progress on the Hussars - I touched up the horses giving them some red detail and the rolls on the back where changed to Blue. I then started paintong the hussar figures - with the Shako's that received their Red/White and Yellow details, then I blocked in the jacket's with Blue and picked out the Yellow details - quite a lot of detail in these. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more work on the 10th Hussars horses - I painted the reins and straps and painted the rest of the details - then a quick dirty wash over the Three of them, they still need some dry dust brushing then in then their riders need painting. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Really nice proress mate - that paint finish looks top notch. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, busy few hours on the bench - I made up Three better horses in better galloping poses, I then made up a few different base coat fur colours, I also made up another British Hussar, then primed and added his skin base colour, I then placed the Five mounted riders together. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Great work mate - same situation as I was in with my Chally TES build. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, another figure completed in the shape of a injured 54th Ligne Sapper - he had was going to attack the gates when he was shot, its gone in my "to be flat coated group". 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.
