    Try these sites, some of the citations (#) listed reference the patients, maybe one of them might show the engineering drawing info. https://www.accu.co.uk/en/p/126-what-is-the-difference-between-phillips-and-pozi-screw-heads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives The Pozidriv was patented by GKN Screws and Fasteners in 1962.[21][22] It was specifically designed to allow more torque to be applied and greater engagement than Phillips drives. As a result, the Pozidriv is less likely to cam out.[11][23][24] It is similar to, and compatible with, the Supadriv screw drive.[25] Pozidriv screwdrivers are often designated using the letters "PZ" followed by a size code of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (in order of increasing size).[11] The numbers do not necessarily correspond to nominal screw size numbers. Pozidriv screws have a set of radial indentations (tick marks) set at 45° from the main cross recess on the head of the screw, which makes them visually distinct from Phillips screws.[11] Maybe also research GKN screws and Fasteners, maybe they have online engineering drawings

    I had a little trouble also looking for it but found it under (see below) and author. Hope this helps So Where Do You Do Yours Then (Model making That Is) By Wintergreen, February 15, 2013 in Nautical General Discussion

    You might try esslinger.com a watch repair/parts store. look under tap and die watchmaker set of 14 around $25.00 if I remember Product Description This handy tap and die set comes with fourteen different taps and a large screw plate that allow you to thread wire, re-thread stripped threads on screws, and even thread cases. Perfect for working on small pieces that jewelers and watchmakers commonly run into. Now you can repair stripped and damaged threads that were unrepairable before. Sizes include .7, .8, .9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0mm for both tap and dies. 14 taps and dies sized 0.7mm - 2.0mm in 0.1mm increments 48 - 32 TPI 3/32" shank works with pin vise, T-handle tap holder or other hand tools Works great for jewelry, watches, eyeglasses, electronics, and much more! Taps have a screw-like end for cutting threads and a smooth end for collecting the filings Screw plate allows you to cut the threads of screws or earring backs to smaller sizes Hardened and Tempered Carbon Steel can be used with gold, silver, brass, copper, soft steel and other soft metals Plate measures 3.25" X 7/8" Inches (81 X 21 mm)

    Enjoy your builds. Looked at zootoyz.com but didn't see what I was looking for. So do you know of any wooden kits of the Japanese style foot bridges and of the Torii's. In time will probably buy some shrine/teahouse from zootoyz. Right now working on the smuggler by bluejacket. Thanks Walt Con Walter

    Following along on your build. Enjoyed/noted your problems and solutions. Great job. Enjoy walt Con

    This might also help, from Wikipedia. maybe in layman terms or slang it was called marine walk A quarter gallery is an architectural feature of the stern of a sailing ship from around the 16th to the 19th century. Quarter galleries are a kind of balcony, typically placed on the sides of the sterncastle, the high, tower-like structure at the back of a ship that housed the officer's quarters. They functioned primarily as latrines for the ship's officers, and in inclement weather they also afforded those officers a view of the forward sails of the ship without having to go outside.[1] On certain vessels and under certain conditions, the quarter galleries could serve as a firing platform for the ship's marines and sharpshooters during boarding actions. The galleries also provided a structure that was ideally suited for attaching decoration and often bore carved wooden sculptures, particularly in the 17th century. As small, wing-like extensions of the stern, the quarter galleries were difficult to secure to the hull and in rough weather were sometimes torn from it completely.[2] Quarter galleries were only ever fitted on vessels of war.[3]

    Great log, enjoy following along Walt con
  10. Walt Con
    Great Build. I will follow along. Thanks for the log and your follow up comments and suggestions.
  11. Walt Con
    Outstanding, I knew you had the story. A great scratch build. Give a hobbyist a box of left over parts, AC/ship/wheeled/track and let the wonders begin. Great job

    Liked your Russian Rail tank. The details and the camo is great. But have a question about geography location?. RED STAR Russian?. But last I looked Aberdeen Proving Grounds was in Maryland. USA. Or am I missing something.
  13. Walt Con
    Nice! A little off subject, the cars look like Studebakers.

    The one you showed looks like the similar to the one on the smuggler by bluejacket. one is under special parts in parts list as part of the kit. the one shown might be there part # 906. look under builds for smuggler and see if they have there stacks. also Alfons has good pictures under Gloucester fishing schooner.
  15. Walt Con
    Saw your comments and went to your build. Great info and pictures on your hull and templates. I saw some errors on mine that just didn't look right. So I hope with a little recut the (centerline/rabbet line) and just re tape new section onto template. Again thanks

    hello, is jpeghiny (Jamie Peghiny) still around?. I just got the smuggler by bluejacket, given to my by my daughters father in law. he bought it new in 1998 never did anything with it. So now my turn. Question/help I am having trouble trying to figure out the templates (how to make) any forum section that can help me. I typed in (how to make templates) and came up 0. mostly how to use prints and copy to template and the curves of the hull. Thanks

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.
