    Perhaps look into cable ducts. Different sizes with removable tops, so may be exactly what you need.

    Using a stop block, you could do it in different settings to get a gradual taper, i.e. first setting with slightest taper, second with a steeper angle farther out on the yard/mast and so on. You'd only have to hand sand the transitions.

    Hello, don't know if you are aware that there are different brass alloys. Gross categories are hard, semi hard, soft. You might look for a material suitable for deep drawing, this should be quite malleable and soft. Not as soft as copper, however. Silver would be another option, but with price nowadays ... , and you'd have to cope with the colour 😎.

    Hello, you might try a mouth atomiser. I used one in my youth for application of fixative to pastels. No airbrush then🦣.

    Sorry, but I have to contradict. Being a master goldsmith, I know a bit of the trade. Solders for gold alloys have the same amount of fine gold as the alloys that are soldered, otherwise the fineness of the completed jewellery item could fall below the legally allowed amount. So, for 14k gold, 14k solder is used. With silver, it's another case for metallurgical issues. Silver soldiers for jewellery contain 67.5% to 60% silver. To lower melting temperatures of solders used in jewellery work below those of the gold and silver alloys , usually zinc is added (in the past, cadmium also was used).

    Sorry, sequence got muddled. Please read 3 - 1 - 2. 14th of April is the newest date I can see.

    It's quite strange, the tracking I get shows totally different data. Quantum mechanics?

    Kind of fascinating 😆.
  26. Kauz
    High probability 😎

    Hello, finally, the second copy I ordered arrived here yesterday. A little battered having taken the long run via Australia, so I second the idea of adding a cardboard sleeve. Of the first order, I've got no news yet.

    I think USPS cooperates with DHL. When customs were cleared the package was transferred to DHL for delivery within Germany. I was able to track the package with the DHL app, and it is in their system. Usually it's a matter of 2 days maximum until I get a consignment after it was processed in the letter processing centre. Not so this time. Meanwhile I have re-ordered the book, as from similar experiences I have little hope that the package surfaces again. Of course it's not the fault of NRG, and I'd never blame our guild. Just had to let off some steam 😉 Sorry

    Hello, DHL messed up the package. It cleared customs on Tuesday, 25th of March, and since then no further progress. "consignment was processed in letter mail centre". I called, but was told to wait until Friday and then have a research started. When I try to do that, I get the notice that it is not possible to have it researched, as it is a letter, no package. You might imagine my frustration.

    There are some versions for 3d-printing. Would be plastics, however: https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=Fractal+vise&page=1

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.
