    Speaking of mast’s complexity “You ain’t seen nothing yet” 😊

    I cannot see any of treenails on today's Victory hull on this photo. Looks more like some nails heads. I can see some on the other pics. None would be seen under the paint and at 1:96 scale.

    I think you are right. No-one can see treenails in common scale as 1:48 as example except the current modelers.

    As for gold and copper I can recommend paints shown on the pictures. I was pleased with the results.

    You also can secure the dowel into electrical drill chuck. Use same wooden guide arrangement as topic starter shows. Turning on the drill but not turning on a sander disk may provide much cleaner results.

    I agree. Also your idea is new to me and good in some circumstances. Enjoy discovering a pleasure of ship building.
  23. Y.T.
    Well. I got the idea. Issue is you can only machine the length of dowel equal to half of your grinding wheel diameter. What when you need a longer taper? Another limitation I see is when one needs to taper a small diameter dowels as 3 mm to 2 mm for example. The grinder may chew on the dowel.

    Can you please provide more details? I didn’t understand.
  25. Y.T.
    Absolutely correct. Deal with your own government if not happy with tariffs.

    This hobby is an expensive one and as long as hobbyist is ready to pay more for the products they want the manufacturers will be fine.

    I do not use airbrush. I do not own it. All my modelling painting I do with a hand brush. It comes out very good to my opinion. I cannot imagine how I would mask whole ship hull with something to make sure that air brush does not pollute my whole project.

    I apply it (diluted shellac) with small brush. Wash it with water and soap after use.

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.
