    Thanks guys you have been incredibly helpful. Now I have different options and I will be trying/exploring each one of them. I live in Thailand and getting good tools here is difficult, most everything comes from China. Saying that I use Amazon USA and UK but have problems ordering from AUS. I am looking online now and I will let you know what I find best for a beginner ( an OLD beginner !!! ) . Never too old to be young hey?? lol TTFN

    Hi Guys, I am new to modelling and I am building HMS Fly by Amati, perhaps a little difficult for my first build but there are reasons for this that I will not bore you with. Ok down to business. How do I fasten the eyelets/eyebolts to the deck, channels and all the other places. They are 0.42 - 0.45mm dia and the smallest drill that I have is 0.50 and it drills holes of about 0.60 and that is not tight enough. I have done well getting this far but now I need help. So Help !!! How do I fit them without spoiling the model with glue marks ? I have enclosed pics of the eyelet and a shot of my project thus far

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.
