    Hi all this is completely different to anything I've done before 2 yrs ago my son bought me 4 1/72 WW1 airfix kits for my birthday (which is in October) (never bought me this type of kit before as he knows it's not my genre) I thought it was strange but said thanks and tried to look excited with them (among them were 2 WW1 planes, planes are my nemesis I've never built one I've been happy with) My son is head of history at his school and casually dropped into the conversation it would be nice if I could put them in a diorama to commemorate the end of the war that he could display at his school. That gave me less than a month. After some research (which was more than my son did I realised I couldn't put all 4 kits on the same dio) I decided to do 4 dios at different times of the year and different places. I asked him how graphic I could get and he told me he had shown pics of the worst of the war to his students so nothing I could produce could be worse. Heres the start.

    Omg that's detail I would never undertake (I replaced the spokes on a 1/12 Bentley and swore I would never do it again, admittedly that was 5 wheels) A great start.

    Hi all this will be built as the little known 617 squadron. I know in the film some bloke called Luke skiver or something like that was supposed to have been the hero but the real heroes were 617 squadron they didn't use the force they used something called the bouncing plasma bomb

    Memory no pics of the actual bike unfortunately (come to think of it the only bike I ever had pictures of was my Triumph oh and the absolutely awful 500 Cagiva River what a complete dog of a bike dont know why I have pictures of a bike I would love to forget, i was once easily passed by a 250 MZ and i had the throttle wide open)( having said that the thing would have pulled a caravan)

    The tamiya 1/6 and 1/12 bikes are incredible kits especially the 1/6 ones I've built the 1/4 pocher Ducati but the price is the biggest thing about that kit

    Hi all here is the next WIP I decided to give it opening gull wing doors so that was my first task.

    Thanks guys glad you're liking it spent most of my life on bikes so I got to know how they looked in various states from pristine to real dogs (I've owned all states at one time or another) my last and favourite bike was a triumph 900 trophy (made to get rid of it 2 yrs ago by my missus "you're getting to old to be playing with bikes" was an often repeated verse of hers however when one of her friends sons was killed on his she put her foot down)) Anyway here is another update.

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.
