    Excellent work mate - all that work - mind blown. OC.

    And to add to what Ken has said do you think it would conform with glue under it and pressure? as I know of an excellent glue that cleans up real well but is super strong. OC.

    That was my initial thoughts - how to get a natural look - so I bent some of the legs using the hair dryer and brute force, and messed around with their arms etc. OC.

    Thank you Jack, thats just what I have seen some artists do using a stick with a soft end, will have to suss that one out. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    I will try that Phil, thank you for coming up with some ideas. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Thank you kindly Phil, I have seen artists use a stick in one hand balancing the paint brush hand against it. I like the idea of the sponge but alas I wont have room to place that as the scene is quite congested and busy. OC.

    Guess we need Mark and his Popcorn machine - never fails. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Thats some lovely detail there mate, and the White will be an excellent base for your weathering. OC.

    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.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Looking so nice. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Bet you had all the nibbles? OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Its amazing where the time goes - Three hours painting just in those few details. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    "hey you should be resting brother"😉 OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more details painted including painting some of the Dark Blue jacket details inside the pile up. 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.
