    I agree. Also your idea is new to me and good in some circumstances. Enjoy discovering a pleasure of ship building.
  3. 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.

    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.

    Hi, Chris. Where is your business located? Is it in UK or US? Not clear from your remarks.

  22. Y.T.
    I made my own from flakes. I would try to dilute the one sold in cans at 50% (half - half) with 100% alcohol. Try a small portion to see how you like it.
  23. Y.T.
    I have very diluted shellac. It is diluted with 100% alcohol. It dries almost instantly being absorbed by the wood. By the time I apply it on the mast or yard the end I started from is ready to get new coat. I apply up to about 10 coats till I get proper shade depth.

    I personally am currently building HMS Victory and pay little attention to such minor differences. Using 3 books at a time before installing any item: McKay, Longbridge, McGowan. Sometimes Lees and Peterson - these are little help. There are some small differences between them. I just ignore them picking one of the methods.

    I am making my own ropes for many years. I have this machine to make it: https://www.shipworkshop.com/product-page/vr-3-1-rope-making-machine-vertical-type

    This seems to be a brilliant idea.

    By the way I received this drilling positioner tool today. Looks very nice, well made all metal.

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.
