Glen, rooting for you to pull this off, it looks like preforming heart surgery through a kneecap. Needless to say it boggles my mind.

I have a brand new one still in the original box or what's left of the original box. I'm never going to use it.

Hard gulp. https://www.amazon.com/Joewell-4038774000021-Classic-Scissors-5-0/dp/B003DPVRTM

I find the problem with scissors is there's little cutting power directly at the tips. When cutting rigging lines, the least amount of a cutting instrument inserted into a nest of lines means less worry about inadvertently cutting a wrong line. I work at 1:120, maybe scissors are OK at larger scales?

Rob, I've use a flush cutter for trimming rigging thread. I have one for cutting thread and one for cutting wire. I make sure to never confuse the two. It works out ten times better than any scissor I've ever used. https://www.amazon.com/Xcelite-170M-General-Shearcutter-Diagonal/dp/B0002BBZIS/ref=asc_df_B0002BBZIS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309807921328&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11981334926503510338&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9017484&hvtargid=pla-420966033329&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T5J56ZS/ref=vp_d_pb_TIER2_sessmpr_lp_B005EXOF6S_pd?_encoding=UTF8&pf_rd_p=21b55c31-c104-4168-9e8f-9425024c3fcc&pf_rd_r=AGSAZGTM2NZMBW5V5531&pd_rd_wg=SYLSo&pd_rd_i=B08T5J56ZS&pd_rd_w=9zUYc&content-id=amzn1.sym.21b55c31-c104-4168-9e8f-9425024c3fcc&pd_rd_r=31e819f8-5825-4f40-9d6f-760a2582b57b&th=1

Bob, very good of you to support the NRG by becoming a member. One of the best things I've done was become a NRG member. MSW has been too good to/for me not to financially support it.

HMCSS Victoria 1855 by BANYAN - 1:72
Keith Black replied to BANYAN's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Pat, what Eberhard described or the booms were stowed closer to the hull, I don't see another alternative. Seems most models have the booms stowed forward of the main shrouds.- 993 replies

If there's not a corral for a miniature Shiloh incorporated on the main deck I'm gonna be highly disappointed.

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.
