    Kenneth Powell's post in Switching from plastic to wooden kits - which tools do I need? was marked as the answer   
    Hello, Sgmartz -
    Most of the tools used for plastic models can be used for wooden models - hobby knife, magnifier, clamps of various sizes, paint and brushes, adequate lighting, and others.
    A Dremel and a set of sanding tools will help with shaping wooden parts. Sandpaper in a range of grits is a must. A pin vice with small drill bits will be needed for drilling holes.
    Sometimes kit manufacturers will have a sale on tools. Sign on to Model Shipways and other email lists to get a better idea of what's available.
    Cruise this site to get more ideas.
    Hope this helps - Kenneth

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.
