I have used those small brushes designed to clean suede shoes (aka Hush Puppies) with some success. The finer wire bristles fit better than the coarse bristles in typical wire brushes. For the more stubborn areas I use an old scalpel/X-Acto blade and scrape out each individual 'row' between the cutting ridges with the tip of the blade. It is somewhat time consuming, but once you get a feel, it is surprising how fast you can clean the file. cheers Pat

Hi Keith, as expressed by Druxey I also have run out of superlatives for your build. The enjoyment I have gained from following along cannot be adequately described. Thankyou for sharing. Tom, a great photo - you almost have a full crew there . Grandkids are what it is all about at this stage of my life - the enjoyment I get in their company is a wonderful pick-me-up. cheers Pat

Hi Vlad, again an interesting update to your build. She is coming along very nicely, and I think you undersell your skills a little. It is great to see your positive attitude to the constructive criticism and suggestions offered; it makes such a refreshing approach compared with many who see such as an attack on their character/abilities. cheers Pat

Brian, I have thoroughly enjoyed following your build and I am now a little disappointed that it is finally complete, and I won't have something new to see what you have achieved. What a splendid display of skills in building this, and the effort is well rewarded with the magnificent model you have to show for it. cheers Pat

What a terrific achievement Glen, she looks great in her 'glass' home. This has been another fascinating build to follow, and you have set your 'benchmark' very high for the follow-on build cheers Pat

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.
