    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.
  3. Keith Black
    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.

    Here in your intro would be as good a place as any.

    Again Tewhano, welcome to MSW. If you have a photo of the Pourquoi-Pas, I'd like to see it. Steam and sail always puts a smile on my face.

    Tewhano, welcome to MSW. You should introduce yourself in the new members section where we all have a chance to meet you.

    Ugo, welcome to MSW. Are you going to start a ship model? If so, please create a build log where we can follow along.

    Ugo, welcome to MSW. Your gun is smartly done, very nice job.

    Lynn, you know you've gone over to the dark side when you start cutting up the furniture to make stuff for your model. In all seriousness, the hull looks good. It's real easy to get carried away with a Dremel. You need to sneak up on the line, don't try to remove all the excess at once.

    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.

    When can I use copyrighted material without permission? What is fair use? Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder for purposes such as criticism, parody, news reporting, research and scholarship, and teaching.

    Kurt, I appreciate the NRG's position but I can not think of a better definition of copyright abandonment, 'an unsigned (orphaned works) and unpublished manuscript intentionally left in the middle of a public road'.
  19. Keith Black
    Steve, welcome to MSW. Your manuscript is indeed a treasure that hopefully will be acquired by the NRG. Thank you for your family stopping those many years ago to rescue this book.

    Lynn, I like your new digs. Working on number three, I've reserved a chair and look forward to watching this build develop. .

    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.
