That's a bummer you have to re-do them, but at least you caught it when you did, before they were glued to the deck and the rigging was started.

She looks exquisite Michael! I know I've said it before, but I'd have a lot of trouble giving a ship this well done away.

She looks great Jay!! Congrats on getting her completed. Your case turned out beautiful also. A fitting final resting place for her.

Wow! Thanks Ken. Sorry Jack, for the wrong info! I should have looked directly on the Weller site for those pencil types. The largest wattage Weller product HD advertises is 40 watt.

The 120 watt ones are the "gun" type Jack. The "pencil" type actually go up to 40 watt here: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Weller-40-Watt-LED-Soldering-Iron-Kit-SP40NKUS/204195330

Sorry to hear of your Mother Nenad. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know how you feel. Lost my Father 19 years ago and my Mother 1 year later. Edit: Yes, all men must die, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier for those left behind. Hang tough my friend!- 4,152 replies

I already have small and large propane and butane torches. And the large Weller is one I've been eyeing, but don't have just yet. Thanks for the info!

She looks marvelous Ken! Since my past soldering experience only involved sweating copper pipes together, I'm sure your book will have a lot to offer guys like me.

That's some really lovely "iron-work" Ken. I'll be ordering your book around the 1st of next month, along with a couple others.

I'm glad you mentioned the metal milling capability of those bits Michael. On the contrary, I value your opinion on these tools a lot, since you've been doing this smaller scale wood-working, and I haven't. I know I won't be doing much, if any, metal milling that will require a metal lathe or milling machine, so finding bits for wood will be just fine. Finding the larger ones is easy. It's the smaller bits I'm looking for. My milling machine is going to be simply a drill-press with an X-Y table, strictly for doing wood. So these bits don't need to be Proxxon. Cheers

Hope it's not too late to pull up a front-row seat to this one as well.

My hat's off to Woodie and Red Matt! They out-did themselves with the design of the companionway. Might want to throw in a couple extra nuts in their next pay-check!
-
Thanks Michael! I've spotted a couple Proxxon sets starting with the 1mm up to the 10mm, but it looks like I should start looking for some in-between sizes.

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.
