Chuck, Please use lower case when typing. Upper Case and people think you are yelling. Have you done a search for others that are building the same ship. there are a couple of them, I am sure someone can help you with your question. Do a search for the fair American and you will find the logs and then you can ask the builder. Welcome to MSW.

I made a mistake with a drill press that was brand new at the time. I got done drilling and had to take the model out from under the drill press and the nut holding in the press let go and the dam thing crash, makeing a mess. Take you time and please make sure evrything is tight. Best of luck. To me because of what happe that is a scareel way to do it, but what works for you doesn't mean it will work for me.

No matter how many you got started, you can always go back to one and do some and then go to the next and do some more. When you get bored with one go to another. Sooner or later you will finished one and then move on to the next. There are a lot of us that do this, it is also call getting OLD.

I know "Woodcraft" sells a tint of different colors for wood puddy, maybe that could also be use. You would need to look at the soecs of it to find more detail about the stuff. -

Nigel, Have you try turning the speed down and moving the travel speed up? Give it a try on some scrap, high speeds are not always the answer. Sometime you have to lower one and move up the other.

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.
