Very Very Nice. I like working with those old Revell and Lindberg kits, just to see if I can make a silk purse out of a sows ear. You certainly did on this one. Congratulations. EJ

I use them. The smaller foam one (#80784) is rounded, works very well with 1/700 scale ships. the bigger one (#15819) one is better for 1/350 and larger scale ships. I sure protects the paint on the hull when I'm working on topside details and rigging. EJ

Quote - from BETAQDAVE - Speak of the devil! I just got a new catalog from Micro-Mark in the mail today sporting another new offering called the Doctor DRYBooth. For a mere $199.95 you too can own this 10 5/8" w. x 18" h. x 8" deep metal box. (basically a small oven) Claims it will cut painted part drying time in half. I don't know about you but with just a little patience I believe that I'll just save the $200. - Quote A filament light-bulb in a cardboard box will do that too. -

Yes it is. Having been a tool maker in a machine shop at one point, I have an appreciation for finely crafted tools, especially miniature ones. I don't know where this tool was made, but it is nicely made. EJ -

This thing is really nice compared to the old Testors stamped steel plane I've used for years. Beautifully crafted. EJ -

I was a building contractor most of my life and the original "Tool Hound". I always liked the latest and greatest construction tools and still have most of them in my workshop even 15 years after I retired. I also have do leatherwork (special tools), custom case-making (special tools), metal work (special tools). When I got back into modeling about 15 years ago, I found the MicroMark catalog. OMG! That opened up a whole new world of tools to collect. I was in seventh heaven. Even if I didn't choose MicroMarks offering for a particular tool (maybe I wanted a better quality or type), it gave me an idea of what was available out there. They also have some items I've never seen anywhere else. My collection still grows to this day. When I'm gone, my kids will wonder - what the heck is this for, and what do we do with this thing. 😁 EJ -

Sadly, Midwest seems to have gone out of the kit business. I have built most of their offerings and enjoyed them immensely. Usually built as a "relaxing" build, especially when I develop builders block on a larger project. I haven't seen any of their kits for sale anymore from model/hobby stores, either online or brick and mortar. EJ

I ordered mine through Amazon. It is a Superior brand fly tying vise, model #2A, from Griffin Enterprises Co, Kalispell Montana. www.griffinenterprisesinc.com they have several models, but I liked the narrow nose on this one. EJ

Still struggling with those blocks, but finally found an appropriate fly tying vise. Tried to post a pic but the site won't allow me to. I use photobucket. EJ What a huge help.

What a wonderful thread. I've been struggling with my 3mm blocks, but now am seeing nice results using ideas posted here. Thank you everyone. EJ

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.
