    I am not that familiar with it. I am sure somebody here has some experience with it. What ship are you working on?
  16. Chuck Seiler
    For what it's worth, I would never use basswood for anything but filler. When I was working on the NRG planking half hull, I had alot of problems with the basswood planking. I switched to yellow cedar and was much happier. It is relatively inexpensive and soft like basswood, but slightly harder. I find it works better than BW and finishes VERY nicely.

    When will this beastie be available for purchase?
  28. Chuck Seiler
    I am a long time PRIME member already. Price is above and beyond that.
  29. Chuck Seiler
    Upon checking Prime, I see it is available, but I would either have to rent at $.99 for 4 episodes or buy at $.99 per episode. If you buy full 'season' it is about $20.

    And now...

    I wasn't aware that there were paddle wheelers in the middle ages. 😁

    Chuck, What did you use as a container?
  33. Chuck Seiler
  34. Chuck Seiler
    'Tis a common tale. Sometime very small details take alot of time and effort. You wonder if it is worth the time/effort, but later realize it is. A poor detail distracts from a good model.
  35. Chuck Seiler
    Sure, if I had the equipment to do that. But then I probably would not need the press we are discussing. Easier to spend the $10 at Amazon.
  36. Chuck Seiler
    I don't think the flex difference between an 8 inch half inch diameter steel rod and a 12 inch rod will be significant, at least for what I am working 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.
