    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?

    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

    Hello, jewellery (wire) draw plates usually have a chamfer on the small side of the holes, so wood is not shaved when trying to draw through. One could try to grind the plates till the chamfer is away, but it's a lot of work the plates being hardened steel, and you'd have to go through all the grits like in knife sharpening, otherwise there'd be scratches in the dowels. Also I've got cheap plates that are awfully warped, so grinding would be out of question.

    Hello, just found this thread on the SNR forum: https://snr.org.uk/snr-forum/topic/clipper-thermopylae-bowsprit-support/ Perhaps of interest 🤔.

    Hello, be aware that there are different kinds of brass alloys. Hard alloys are made for machining, you won't have much success annealing them. For bending, use the soft alloys.

    Hello, I did a search for "laser cut model workstation pattern". If you know somebody who'd do the cutting for you, this might be a way: Eg.: https://www.etsy.com/de/market/workstation_laser_cut

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.
