    In the 80s a friend of mine had one and had it Sprayed with purple which had little flakes of gold in the paint (was all the rage at the time with all sorts of metal flakes, can't remember what it was called) and in defraction tape (if you can remember that you're showing your age) he had the enlarged datsun in a wedge shape on the lower part of the doors it looked awesome.

    Hi all so sorry I've not been on here for so long tbh I've got more into painting and drawing (let's face it it's cheaper than modelling, peice of paper and a pencil, and maybe some paints) Anyway in-between painting and drawing I did this (I won it off ebay, was a bit of a glue bomb and missing some bits had loads of warped body panels but turned out OK, I will have italaris bugatti type35 b as a Christmas pressie so have that to look forward to IMG_9398.HEICIMG_9399.HEICIMG_9400.HEICIMG_9398.HEICIMG_9399.HEIC

    Just found this, what a great post, I have a very old dslr and a very new smart phone (with a dedicated macro lens) will definitely be trying this out when I get back into modelling.

    Guild then paint around it (I could never find a way of removing the little flakes left around the edges) I painted over them after I guided it, I discovered this when I built the La reale de france (which was the first ship I used gold leaf 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.
