I've used this in the past, it's easy to sand. I really want to try this stuff. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/timbermate-wood-filler-water-based-8-oz-natural?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImY_pu7bB8wIVQWxvBB2Alg3jEAQYEiABEgIwB_D_BwE

Kramer, driving the nails in deeper was a mistake but one that's not insurmountable. You'll have to dig the pointed end of the cutters into the wood as close to the head as possible to get enough bite to lift the nail out. You're going to have gouges but that's why God made filler.

You should be able to remove the brass nails using a jewelry flush cutter (see pic) Pulling the nails is going to make your sanding task so much easier. Don't just cut off the head, work the nail back and forth till you can pull it out.

RA, welcome to MSW. I wish you weren't in the UK, I have a 1:84 Vespucci I don't think I'm going to be able to get to, at least not in this life time.

Tally Ho by jwpage - Scale 1:16

JW, I am so very sorry to hear of your health issues. It's a dang shame you have to give up working on your Tally Ho. I think you should put a notice in the marketplace section for the Tally Ho project. I wish you the very best, hoping you treatments are 100% successful........Keith -

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.
