    Get a closet hanger dowel from a local hardware store.
    The smaller dowels are often too dogleggy - or get that way -
    to use as spars.

    Hi Chuck, as a woodworker in another life my advise is to get your chisels 'scary' sharp and pare down on the work as you sneak up to the line you have marked by grasping the chisel very close to the tip (but keep a safe distance back)- this gives you the best control possible.. Don't hammer the work piece and just sneak up slowly rather than trying to remove large chunks quickly.

    Thanks for the info.  
     
    I absolutely have the wrong chisels, payday is next week. I will get what is required to keep the tools sharp.
     
    I will book mark this section and use the photos to help with rigging.
     
    As far as securing goes, I spent a large part of the day trying to find anything to attach to the bottom of the hull so that I could use a vise.  We are moving to Oklahoma City which means that stuff is getting packed or my Commander in Chief tossed stuff out. I did consider sawing a small piece broom handle, but feared that if caught the boss would make me use it.
     
    Thanks the advice will be used.

    I hope you can see from the photos there are areas that a Dremel cannot handle. The bow needs to be thined, how?
     

    This is between decks. I believe the distance between decks is 2mm.
     
    There is an area at the end of hull that requires the same type of work. (Photo will not upload)
     
    I hope that I am clear inow my request for knowledge.

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.
