Gil what colour did you use on the captains entrance canopy, i have used a light grey (intact grey primer) to simulate what i guess must be lead.

yes it's a trick of the light but i have spent quite a lot of time trying to keep it tidy, but it starting to cause me problems, mainly with the black, the wale's and down to the waterline were done in Halfords spray matt black, when it comes to touch-ups i am finding the pots are very glossy, as you can see on the upper black areas. i lost a few more tiles last night, i dropped one of the captains entrance sides into the hull, and it bounced (laughing at me) all the way down to the keel. it's a big hull for turning upside down getting the dam thing out.

Cat heads As i continue working the stbd side, these were ok to build, but i either made a big fuss about nothing or they were just a pain to get the decorative strip under it, using the brass profile, it requires to be recessed into the upper wale, as well as running in all angles Stbd side decorative strips most of the brass profiles are now fitted between the upper gun ports, channels/allready fitted with dead eyes after repainting the ships side where necessary, i hope to have the stbd side fitted this weekend Captains access access hatch - stbd side ready to fit ladder - stbd side being worked on

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.
