    Thanks Pat, it is interesting to read different opinion. I was aware about lead and the new stuff with no lead content. So, should I buy thin/copper/silver wire ? Is the proportion of content of each, except for melting temperature point, important for quality of the finition on PE ? Oh I forget : lots of no lead solder wire contain rosin in core, I do not know if this fit your recommandation. Thanks, Michel
  26. Michel L.
    Well, another and sat question for you. I do not want to abuse... Lead or no lead content ? Wire/rosin included or wire + rosin liquid or paste flux ? Thanks you, Michel
  27. Michel L.
    Finally, I choosed the Hakko FX-888D FX29BY. Now I search for solder wire or liquid flux and tip cleaner paste. Thanks Michel
  28. Michel L.
    Thanks again , valuable infos here and make me happy and confident
  29. Michel L.
    Ouch, they range from 280 to 350 $ CAD. May be currency exchange do not help here. But I retained your advice, may be in the futur with more money... Thanks Banyan

    Oh! Good new, good stuff at a good price. I will take a look for it. There is a lot of choice on amazon, but a lot of chinese material too. And did you purchased complementary tips with it ? Is large flat tip can be useful for some small planking area ? Thank you Michel
  31. Michel L.
    Ok, let me asked otherwise : are these stuff near 60-80 bucks on amazon are good stuff or should I invest in the range of 130 bucks and up ? Thanks

    Hi, I was long time without being able to work on my project. I purchased some tool, and constructed working table to set properly my tools in a clean space and esay to clean too. Let me show my new tools first. Some pictures show tools mods made by myself too. 1) RP TOLLZ 18 cm Photo etch tool. Well, seems good, but a further check at the picture you will see at the third screw at the right, just at his right, a small rust spot. Purchased on Eb**.ca at Modellbaudepot store. 2) Amati waterline tool. It is not cheap in Canada. Hopefully, i

    Hi, Can you give me recommandation for PE soldering. O have to purchase a soldering station that will be used almost exclusively for PE soldering. Not a cheap one, but not the most Weller expense too. Thanks you, Michel

    Ah! Ah! Yes, after reflexion, deepness seem a bit Frankenstein or dracula senario. Thanks for your comment.

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.
