Ray it all comes flat, everything should be marked as well as a list of parts and tools needed for the job. Just a thought you may want to start with a less complicated model. The lesser amount rigging involved on a simpler model would be a good introduction and might make the build more enjoyable as well as a satisfactory finished model. Start simple and work your way up... just my 2cents. Razor blades for cutting the planking... your beard looks fine (ha)

Ray, add some single edge razor blades, a good pair of scissors an sand paper. Plus a great deal of patience.

I believe Bluejacket (one of the sites advertisers) carries several sizes of linen thread. Good luck with your project.

Hi mates, Does anyone have a preference for plating keel up or water-line down when using individual pieces of copper. I've coppered a blunt bow ship before but I will be working on a sharp bow and was wondering if the starting point would make any difference. Thanks

The super fine saw arrived this morning. well packed and wrapped in cloth with Otani Oniji II, by the woodcut artist Toshusai Sharaku on it. Same as in RichardG's earlier post. Can't wait to use it...

To paint or not to paint, that is the question?
markjay replied to ratskiss's topic in Wood ship model kits
I've faced both choices and found it best to wait and see what the wood looks like in the kit and how it planks. If you opt for wood and want to upgrade the supplied wood you can check out the Timber Yard (they advertise and support this site) for what is available. Not as expensive as copper. Good luck with whatever your choice.- 11 replies

Stunning! -
Passing this on. I've been checking Zootoyz.jp site for the availability of the saw with no luck. So I emailed to find when it would be available, their return email said the website is not up to date and zootoy.jp will send a paypal invoice for the saw and ship it. So if you want to order one use the contact tab on the left side of their web page and request the saw. If you order at night you'll have an answer in the morning, at least that is what happened for me.

Did you check out his other videos?
-
HOF, take a look at the utube video. It took some practice on my part but using the right thread all looks in scale. He also has several other videos related to rigging.
-
Hi HOF, no I decided to pass on the brass. But it's still not to late to change my mind...

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.
