    Karen, I'm looking forward to seeing your build log. Full marks for choosing Admiralty style. Bruce

    Sitting down, Roger? $348,500

    Roger, I think you've got a pretty good grasp of the demons that drive us. That portrait is quite a find and it raises hopes for even more good stuff to be found.

    Ian, a warm welcome from chilly Sussex.

    Dave, welcome to MSW from the UK.

    OK, here goes. There has been discussion lately about the Ultimation tools, especially the hand-disc sander. There are other products of similar concept in use by jewellers and picture framers. I am making a hand powered disc sander along those lines but not a copy. The prototype is encouraging. Looking at the jigs and fixtures I will be using it would be easy enough to make multiple assemblies. Without commitment, is anyone out there interested in one after the trouble-shooting is done? Bear in mind I am UK based.

    If I squint a bit, it looks like a tow vehicle for a '60s drag car to me. Got a trailer?

    Yes it is sad news. It has touched many people here: Bruce

    Well said Kevin. Based on my own limited contact with him, I am sure your experience with Jim was repeated many times with modellers all over the world. He really cared about his creations and took the time to help the people using his machines. This was a rare quality.

    I couldn't bring myself to hit the 'like' button on this post, so sorry to hear of your loss. Bruce

    Have you considered aluminium thick wall tubing? That will keep the mass down.
  17. bruce d
    Oh boy.
  18. bruce d
    Out of curiosity, why change to aluminium?

    Pat, Just take care of yourself and make peace with the Gobble-Up-Chair. As Mark said, the model is patient. Bruce

    Great news Chuck. Don't be surprised if Ed Harris is a good student. He has a reputation for diving deep when approaching a new subject.

    George, please accept a pat on the back for your choices of subject and reasons. Looking forward to seeing a well researched barque rigged steamship on the workbench. BTW, do the Lloyd's digital archives have anything? Sorry can't give the link at the moment. Bruce

    The chair and extension reel look too modern (IMHO) but the drill is a perfect fit for the 1960's. I will just remind myself that this is not my model before saying anything more. It should be an interesting project.

    Now you're trying to make me jealous. The garage equipment looks cool, a couple of bits aren't period-correct if you are representing an early '60s speed shop but you are probably way ahead on this. Two items that seemed to be in every shop I saw: a wash tub full of kerosene for washing parts, surrounded by towels; and bags of oil-dry dust piled in a corner. Looking forward to seeing your speed shop!

    I am officially stealing this idea. Thanks! You are doing a great job and I hope you find a way to show those knees.

    No, it's counterfeit. Concerning the payment issue, can I suggest you contact Tom at CAF? He is a member of MSW and can be reached by PM. I have found him to be helpful and easy to communicate with.

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.
