    Hi all thought I would start this one to go with the X Wing but again not following the box art I thought how about a chrome one (I'm sure Darth would approve)

    I just found this post, what a lucky man you are to have 2 pocher kits the RR Sedanca would be my holy grail of kits. When my missus agreed to let me have the pocher ducati for my 60th birthday I was gobsmacked, unfortunately she would never allow such an expense on a kit again your missus must be an angel. Great progress this far. Am I envious of course not, grrrrrr

    Masking tape and adding a very small amount of black to whatever colour you're using (I use a pipette and add 2 to 3 drops to my airbrush reservoir then just blend upto the masking tape, heavier towards the edge of the masking tape) (I give the area around the masking tape a spray with the base colour first to prevent bleeding) if I'm doing black I add a few drops of blue to the paint and do the opposite I spray from furthest from the masking tape up to it.

    Hi all I built this twice (I really love the tamiya big bike kits) my second build of it was stolen and posted on Instagram as being theirs by someone called bright logic (not very bright or logical since I had all the original pics and the actual model, they were made to take the post down, full credit to instagram) Anyway here is the first build of this amazing kit (before anyone says anything I know this was only available in the uk in silver but everyone who knows me by now knows I hardly ever do as per the box or true life)
  16. kpnuts
    This is the first dio finished.

    Hi all here is the finished article
  18. kpnuts
    I just checked on scalemates and the heller version is a rebox of the mpc one so it's the same kit.
  19. kpnuts
    I actually have the heller kit and started it (will have to dig it out maybe we could compare that one to the mpc one, I know it's still not in the same ball park as the tamiya kits)
  20. kpnuts
    Yes the tamiya kits are beautifully made I love them.
  21. kpnuts
    I was told (not on here) I was insulting the memory of the original dam busters.
  22. kpnuts
    Please accept my sincere apologies I would never belittle the achievements of such brave men.

    The bouncing plasma bomb was invented by the brilliant genius kpnuts specifically to destroy the death star (who's design was stolen from kpnuts and corrupted from a creative star to the death star)the original design was for creating planets to inhabit but unfortunately kpnuts added the ability to delete the planet if it was uninhabitable. The bouncing plasma bomb went on to be refined and become called the smart bomb.
  24. kpnuts
    I was annoyed that was both of them for 3.50 I said when the bloke came to collect them I would rather have set fire to them. He did say sorry I didn't think I would get them for that. Anyway I dont want to hijack Yves post I just thought I would show the size difference.

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.
