    Guess we need Mark and his Popcorn machine - never fails. OC.

    Thats some lovely detail there mate, and the White will be an excellent base for your weathering. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, I decided to scan over my build pics earlier and it struck me - some of my 5th KGL (Red Jackets) I dd not paint the White stipes on their bird nest shoulder epaulettes, trouble is they are placed in the farm / glued down (a few under the doorway) If I wanted to try to apply these incredibly small fine White lines - how couuld I do it - keep my hand staeady without a hand support and even see withought being able to get up close to them. any thoughts or ideas folks? OC.

    Looking so nice. OC.
  5. Old Collingwood
    Bet you had all the nibbles? OC.
  6. Old Collingwood
    Its amazing where the time goes - Three hours painting just in those few details. OC.

    "hey you should be resting brother"😉 OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more details painted including painting some of the Dark Blue jacket details inside the pile up. OC.

    Thank you kindly Alan, I have tried to make the wonded/dead more sombre with less colour in their faces. OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    And then I cut the First Two resin KGL 5th figures away from the 3D pips, the detail on them is amazing. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Next I have started on mission impossible - I have painted and detailed their faces/hands and hair details and the lozeng hat plates and straps. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, quite a bit done today - I finished the sole injured figure and placed him slumped against the hedge. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    So, after some touch ups and weathering to mr injured man, he will be put aside and I will tackle the mess (I mean pile of injured/dead) my admiral is real keane for me to start this - as she has no clue how I will be able to pull it off "I have my ways" lol. This is were they are going to be placed after I have doen some more groundworks - scenery at the back of the farm. OC.

    I am not too worried about tha face on the injured french man (its not the best for detail how it was sculped) as he will be partially burried in the hedge (will still be seen but obscured a bit) OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Take it easy brother - lots of rest. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, I have been working on a wounded 55th Ligne Fusilier, he will placed slumped into the hedge, and also see what's arrived - OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Their all glued together as a mass - yep will make for some interesting painting. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    I think the Black primer will help as it will help to form shadows - it will be a test of my ability and If I pull it off should look quite interesting. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, the bunch of casualties are complete and primed - will be interesting painting these. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Thank you mate. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    I'm using the Perry supplied figures I have - just need to alter some of the arm positions - will get there in the end (I hope) lol OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Incredible work mate, like we are following one of those actual ship building sites - just amazing what you are doing. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    So - my idea (plan) is to pile them across and up - to become the the pile of dead that was well documented - when the 2nd KGL fired down inside the barn with such ferocity that they killed so many French trying to gain access to the barn. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, right - the 2nd KGL group was flat coated and are now waiting to harden. So next on my little mission - I decided to to make some casualties including the mass that built up by the barn, I have made one who will be placed fallen back into the private. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    It looks Great brother, can so see all that detail. 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.
