I am not. But that is only because the kit hasn't arrived yet Interestingly, Cornwall Model Boats are out of stock on this one. Shows it must be in high demand. -
Thanks guys for all these really useful replies. I drifted off for a spell there, and came back to find all these nice posts. I will need to do a daily check!

So, that's a "Yes" then?

Thanks Jack. I am very much counting on the build log to help me along. Happily, there are lots of previous and current build logs for Lady Nelson, so plenty of good advice and practice there too. Looking forward to 2017.

Thanks everyone. I think that gives me a plan. 1. Get a pin vise (+ the other very basic items, like a vice, hammer, knife, etcetera) 2. Start building and let the process drive the ongoing tools requirement, including uses for my current Dremel Result.

Thanks Rich. That sounds like really wise advice. So, get some kind of manual drill for work on the main model.

Hi. I am just starting out in shipbuilding, and like many others have the Amati 'Lady Nelson' cutter in mind. I don't have the kit yet, but am looking at what tools I might need, and in particular whether I can re-purpose those I have already. I do have the Dremel 200, which is a basic 2-speed, corded tool. Would this be of any use? I wonder if the cord might be awkward for fine work. Perhaps I might be better with a simple non-powered hand drill? And then there are the fittings. I guess some fine drill bits would be the main use for this tool for a simpler model like the LN? Other posts I have read talk about buying a chuck, or collets, etc. Bit over my head just now. Any advice would be welcome please, especially if it is simple Thanks, Ray II
