    Good evening every one, I have put quite a lot of time into this build and hope to have her finished within days now, (subject to change) Im quite pleased the way she is turning out, hope everyone is having a great Sunday
  6. Kevin
    Lots achieved today, she even has props fitted, but apart from small weapons to be painted and fitted,and some radar sets I will now concentrate on weathering her for the next day or so and then finish her off with the rigging, have enjoyed this build, and have other projects lined up like the 1/200 USS Hornet and 1/200 Sovremenny, but it looks like i am now back in the mood to push on with the Victory
  7. Kevin
    Congratulations chuck, another fine build, how times fly, that 3 years went by fast
  8. Kevin
    Good evening, Im still adding loads to the build, but can see the end in sight and actually have a completed builds portfolio to my name LOL most of the armament is made and in paint, then wethering and rigging, hope to complete her within a couple of weeks
  9. Kevin
    Good afternoon Apologies for my absence, i have been contemplating walking away from the hobby, but decided against it, I dont know why i have lost interest in so many things and ............ anyway im here and the Bismarck has been progressing she has some teeth now with the big guns in place, the ships boats will hopefully be in place in the next week or so
  10. Kevin

    Don't quite understand why some of my much older posts have reappeared, I'm still around and again busy in the man cave, ship building, but not any of my threads here on MSW, its another 1/200 Trumpeter kit Sovremenny, and to put it bluntly it is an awful kit to build, and not worthy to be listed on here, it is being put together solely for experience in airbrushing Looked at the Victory yesterday, she is fine, so here is where I left her off in September 2016

    Stunning work as normal Danny
  15. Kevin
    Lovely work Danny, and even nicer to see you back at the modeling desk
  16. Kevin
    Good evening Gil, permission to follow your build
  17. Kevin
    Wonderful work Sjors, sorry I have not been around more to see it completed
  18. Kevin
    wonderful work, great fun rereading you build, as I tend to be away a lot from MSW recently. I am currently working on a 1/200 trumpeter kit (Sovremenny) to get used to the airbrush, then hopefully get back to the Bismarck to test the new skills on her, Yesterday my next big project arrived Merit 1/200 Hornet
  19. Kevin
    Lawrence Good evening I changed my job about 6 weeks ago, and now work in the real world 5 days a week, it has taken me some time to adjust to the work, but now getting into a new routine, its not hard work, but on my feet from 0900 to 1730 working for a private health care trust. I get into the man cave when I have the chance, and working on a 1/200 model, but that is not on a thread within MSW, it a OOB with some PE but everything else is again on hold, have a week of soon so hope to post something new
  20. Kevin
    good evening Sjors, sorry not caught up with you recently, your build looks fantastic, hope yourself and Anja are both well and a belated Happy New
  21. Kevin
    wow, love the sails work, lol you still have my attention
  22. Kevin
    Good morning Lawrence, and happy new year I made a new years resolution to complete a model, so the Bismarck is being worked on at present, the reason i put the Victory to one side again, is that I dont know how to proceed wrt to the sails and a final way of finishing her of in a diorama setting,
  23. Kevin
    of course there is the Pegasus by Victory models at 1/64 http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/victory-models-hms-pegasus.html lol I don't know if this is the same kit Amatri/victory models and from Model Dockyard in the UK http://www.model-dockyard.com/acatalog/info_VM5.html
  24. Kevin
    of course there is the expensive option but spreading the cost, of a part work like http://www.model-space.com/gb/model-ships.html?__utma=210999945.1924374388.1483983500.1483983500.1484343799.2&__utmb=210999945.1.10.1484343799&__utmc=210999945&__utmx=-&__utmz=210999945.1484343799.2.2.utmcsr=bing|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=(not%20provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=72032720
  25. Kevin

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.
