    i taught myself a little tip today with regards to touching up the spray painted areas, as the attempt to touch up from the pots seamed well - naff, i have been spraying a 1 second burst into a little pot, - and providing you use it with 10 - 20 seconds- whilst still in liquid form, and a decent brush with some thinners hanging around, i have managed to cover up a load of stratches, knocks etc, and cut ends of the etched parts

    gun port lids progress, however, i went by the plans, but having the lids shut i have given myself to much hinge on the hull and getting in the way of the rigols, so slowly unglueing, trimming and replacing, not so bright out side today so not so much glare on the photos all the best
  19. Kevin
    i took months to do mine, but opened them all up at the same time - had no problems so far one year or so down the line wrt to ageing

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.
