Announcing the Model Ship World Ship Kit Database Project
WackoWolf replied to SkerryAmp's topic in Wood ship model kits
Sterling went out of business some time way back. I have two of there USS Missouri kits. One I got from eBay and the other I bought through the Club I belong to in CT. -
That is why the old saying "You get what you pay for" is very true. If you want a tool that is top of the line and that will last and do the job right it is going to cost. But if try and get away with getting something cheap you usually almost end up paying twice of what the good one would have cost in the first place. Don't ask me how I know, just Please take my word for it. And yes I love tools also.

Nice write up for anyone thinking of buying this. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I know that it will be a big help for people here.

I also have both, and yes the metal one is harder to use then the plastic. I use the plastic one more and more. Wish someone made a smaller size one, but they all seem to be the same size. A good tool that can be use for a great deal of work.

Danny, If you can't fix the copper plates you could maybe look into getting them from somewhere else. Just a though.

Bill, Let us know what happen with your test. I like the idea but never heard of anyone baking it. So now you gut my attention and I would like to know what happens. Pictures would also be nice. -
Jerry, You have the skill and friends here will help as best that they can, why not give it a try. A little at a time, one line here and then another there. So what it takes you 5 days just to do one or two lines, that's one or two lines lest that you have to do. This is only my option and it is up to you since you are the one building her. Either way I wish you the best and she is a nice ship the work you have put into her is Beautiful.

Don9of11, I agree with you 100% about Norton, AVG and McAfee. I think they are a joke, been into computers to long not to know. I also use Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes for the last few years and have had no problems with Virus and malware But this is just my option, everyone has there own choice and what works for them doesn't always mean it will work for you. As far as Soildworks, I love it, hard to learn but it is dam good. But that is also my option. -
The detail in that picture will drive you nuts, but it will be up to you. Keep the pictures coming.

Nice chisel box. Keep your tools safe from falling and so forth is a smart thing. Keep the pictures coming.

Duff, To bad you miss the log when he started it on MSW 1, you would have love it. Danny keep the pictures coming.

Now that was cool. I really enjoy watching. Thank you very much for sharing this with the forum. If you can think it then maybe it can be done. Excellent.

Which Kevin was nice and a friend to send to me. When I start it I will do a log, I am thinking about making the kit but also making one in brass and aluminum. For now it is just a thought, but since a lot of people ask as to what a person can do with a milling machine figure I could show that anything you can think of can be done in a small scale. Anyone have any thoughts about this? Also I am not trying to hack Kevin tread by asking this, so if it all right with Kevin that I ask I will not delete this post but I will be starting one soon.

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.
