How to use a Circle Cutter by Dan Vadas
Moab replied to Dan Vadas's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Thanx for the explanation Danny. Did your wrist hurt after making the 120 cuts for the 12 wheels? Thanx again...Moab -
I just started following your build and the photos and explanations are “incredibly” helpful. I’ve gotten many good ideas and methods of working. Thank you...Moab

I recently built a Woody Joe kit. The laser cutting was the best I’ve seen. Although it was an easy build it may be a problem for someone new to modeling since there are no plans and the instructions are in “Japanese.” The illustrations in the instructions are excellent and easy to follow. The wood was excellent!...Moab

I totally agree with the comments above. The only reason I would consider buying it is because it would force me to purchase their shoulder plane and although I love tools it’s way too expensive. Also, my wife would destroy me when the credit card bill arrived...Moab -

Pantograph to enlarge plans
Moab replied to Sambini's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I’ve used FedEx office many times with great success and excellent accuracy. I’m not sure about the prices but I “think” a 20” x 30” print might cost about $30. They also offer sizes larger than that. $30 may be expensive but for me the benefits are substantial...Moab -
I spend a lot of time In San Diego but bummed out I won’t be there when you visit. Kathryn is one of my favorite models and builds but I’ll miss her...Moab

Mike; not sure this will help basically because I live in Chicago and there’s a couple of excellent fine hard wood yards in this market. I go to Owl lumber yard. They have a broad range of cutoffs many with awesome grain patterns and you can’t beat their prices. There may be a yard relatively close to you. Your pens look fantastic.!!...Moab

I bought one and it's great for small jobs that don't need the power of a full size drill. I bought one for a modeling friend and he loves it....Moab

Tony; I built a boat similar to yours. The only similarity is that we both used wood. Your craftsmanship is absolutely superb and the boat a real beauty!! Which cad program do u use and what is the learning curve to become proficient?....Moab

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.
