    Thanks! Good suggestion!

    Good idea! I'll try it and post result. I also ordered a set of jeweler's needle nose tweezers!

    I honestly don't think the dowel idea would work. I've already had a couple of close calls with sticky tape to hold little parts in place until I needed them. The clamps resemble what I have and I guess would not crush the parts, but those covers would likely be larger than some of the pieces. We're talking under 1/2 inch here. Several are about 1/4 or less. Those are the ones making me crazy. I'll fool around with a dowel and adhesive to see if I can manage anything with it. Thanks, both!

    I'm very new to this forum and this hobby. I'm building a 1/400 model of BB-63 and was totally unprepared for dealing with the number of tiny parts. I've already lost two little vent pipes that flipped out of my surgical tweezers. What kind of needle nose tweezers are best for gripping these things? I have surgical clamps, but they crush the pieces out of shape. I have surgical tweezers, but they lose their grip and the parts fly off to Neverland. There must be a solution. Thanks in advance for any tips!! Kahuna

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.
