    Thank you kindly Alan, just to think there is Four seperate sub-assemblies making up the conning tower - each section will be airbrushed then brush painted Corticene. The binoculars - I might try to use some of my acrylic water to create the lenses .........." I dont think so" lol. OC.

    I so love your detail and painting Greg - its getting to a ridiculous stage now where the model is merging into realism - due to a craftsman's skill - lovely to watch. OC.

    Just did a calculation - those railings are a Huge 1.2mm tall - no wonder thay are hard to handle. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood

    Evening all, today was "trying the impossible" time - bending and fitting some conning tower rails, I fitted one of the ladders - that was "easy peazy" but the rails - boy was it difficult as its all ready been mentioned this PE is tissue paper thin and if a fold line is bent to much it breaks off, I am not even attempting to fit a couple of levels up - but think what I have fitted is ok. OC.

    Thats coming along really well Alan - love the touch with the headlamps - I did similar on my Chally 2 build I used a bit of that acrylic clear water I have, you really are mamking a really interesting looking vehicle here. OC.

    Thank you kindly Alan, yep all the small parts are seperate - takes the utmost skill just to cut them away from the spru's - then you have to hope they dont "ping off" mind you I have found a certain way of gluing them down - I make a small pool of glue on the side of my cutting mat then while holding the part with my teezers I touch the part to be gluid in the glue then place it down, if I tried to use the Revell glue needle even that is too wide and too much glue would come out on the area to be glued. OC.

  21. Old Collingwood

  22. Old Collingwood
    And another view - OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, some more detail added to the conning tower stack and for scale I have added "sid" one of my 28mm figures - good job there was no giants around then lol. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood

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.
