    Mahuna got a reaction from WackoWolf in Foredom or Dremel Fortiflex ?   
    Gaetan is correct, a micro motor system is much easier to control.  The Foredom has more torque and is better for removing large amounts of stock.  I use both.  Another advantage of the Foredom is that you can set it up in a jig and use it for routing and milling.
     
    If you're looking for a rotary tool for small work, then the micro motor would be the better choice.  Gesswein tools are very high quality (I have the Marathon Handy 700), but are very expensive.  Woodcarving sites have other manufacturers to choose from - here's a link to an example:

    Mahuna reacted to JeffT in Scroll Saw Blades   
    I think this is the company Mark is referring to. These blades were recommended by Greg Herbert and they are good blades.

    Mahuna got a reaction from PETERPETER in The Naiad Frigate by Ed Tosti   
    Hi Ed:
     
    I recently borrowed a well-used copy of Volume 1 from a good friend, and I've already ordered my own copy - it's exactly what I need.  I started ship modeling about a year ago and have completed a couple of POB kits.  My goal is to complete a POF version of the Dunbrody, and your book will help me understand the techniques I need to master and the proper way to use my tools.

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.
