Don, I think modellers at all levels will appreciate this book. There is much to be learnt, and also much to drool over and aspire to.

Proxxon transformer - speed control for Pen Sander?
gjdale replied to rtropp's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I don't think you need variable speed for a sander. Incidentally, I have the Proxxon Pen Sander and love it - a very useful little tool. -

This is starting to look like one of the Farside cartoons, "oops, wrong classroom!" So, let's see then: Mike likes your rear end. Wayne is encouraging you to eat Augie's oysters. And Popeye likes your contours, is sending kisses and calling you "big boy" ............ <backs very quietly towards the door, hoping no one noticed>

HMS Victory by Sven - FINISHED - 1:600 scale

Nice touch Matt -
Brian, With postage, the total cost was 108 Euros (I opted for the slightly more expensive postal option as it included insurance). Even with the postage, I still think this book well worth the cost.

Brian, I had some trouble with email initially bouncing back until I discovered that the computer had inserted a couple of \\ into the email address. I think it did this when I clicked on the email link from the site. When I took these out of the address and re-sent, it worked fine. I suggest you check your original sent mail and see if the same thing happened with yours. Once I fixed the addressing, I received a response within 24 hours. As for Paypal, I'm not sure - I paid via Credit Card. Again, I suggest you ask in your email.

Thanks Mick - all it takes is a willingness to step outside your comfort zone and have a go! You will surprise yourself at what you can achieve by just giving it a go. There have been no fancy tools used here (at least none that couldn't be done just a well with hand tools).

Thanks Mark. Sherry - thanks for the vote of confidence, but I won't be doing any subcontracting These things look difficult, but once you come to terms with the size/scale, they aren't really that hard to do. Having good quality stock timber to work with is a must though, and you can't do better than Jeff Hayes and Hobby Mill in my opinion! (Disclaimer: no connection, just a very, very satisfied customer )

I was aware of Mr Berti's passing before placing my order. I believe the business is being run by his son, but in any case the response to an initial email query was very prompt and the attendance to my subsequent order was likewise handled promptly, efficiently, and courteously. I would have no concerns in placing further orders with Ancre. If you have any doubts, I suggest sending them an email first - and if like me, you don't speak French, they will correspond in English.

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.
