Before you remove them you might try gently rounding the handle edges with the tip of your X-Acto knife which may also remove some of the char. I don't see how you can round the handles once they're removed. As far as removing all the char, the only solution I see is painting them a color that resembles wood. Did you ask Chris?

Johnny, I use CA to glue eyes to the deck. I drill the hole a tad larger than than the eye, place CA gel on the eye shank, place in hole, and then add a tad bit of regular CA around the shank. I've had to remove eyes because of putting them in the wrong place and played billy goat heck getting them out pulling on the eye with pliers. They don't come out willingly.

Tame winter for all of us.

She's a beauty, Glen. For a 'it almost didn't happen' build I for one am certainly glad that it did because it ranks near the top. The lone penguin at that scale is very well done and a nice touch........thank you.

Pretty part of the state but comes with the price of more snow.

Grant, scratch the penguins. APA photo showing billionaire cattle rancher and SIB builder Glen McGuire informing a group of penguins their services would not be required in his latest project, The Jenny. In a local news briefing UPA spokesman Flip Moore decries McGuire's pulling penguins from his latest project saying "It's a hardship, we've got penguins that have traveled halfway around the globe to get here" "Now to be told they are no longer needed. Well, it's a bait and switch scam, plain and simple" "United Penguins of Antarctic members will not tolerate these tactics from Mr McGuire, we don't care how many cattle ranches he owns" Mr Moore wouldn't elaborate on any pending legal action.

Hello from Kiowa, Colorado

Doug, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. -
Attic is the key word here. Attics are normally hot to very hot in the summer months. It might be great and then it might not. I'd be most worried about the mast, tops, and yards but those could all be made of wood which we covered in David's build.

Not necessarily, Micha. Plastic gets brittle with age according to modelers building plastic kits. . I have never put together a plastic model so I'm relating only what I've read in logs.

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.
