    Tough to find. I’ll keep looking. Thanks. So far all these solutions are out of my price range. Can someone suggest an affordable push pull drill? I bought a really cheap one but it’s not much better than useless.

    Thanks. Using a pin vice to pre drill holes for dozens of lill pins seems tedious.

    Do any dremels have a 0-36K rpm variable speed? Variable speed drills seem to have three or four speed settings. I need something that can turn at 300 rpm if needed. Thanks

  16. Laggard
    Instructions call for basswood. I screwed up the two provided pieces. No idea how important the wood type is. I have no access to power tools.

    Google fails. I tried every modeling site I know with no luck. Anyone? Thanks!

    Knee Pads - used for protection as you crawl around on the floor looking for the 2 mm block you just dropped. Broom - a household cleaning device only used when trying to find and sweep up the 2 mm block you just dropped and couldn’t find after 15 minutes on your hands and knees.

    My only build would float. Until the putty disintegrated and the integrity of the hull went to heck that is.

  25. Laggard
    Perhaps I should ask how quickly would your builds sink?
  26. Laggard
    Cause my first one would not. 🥴

    “BELT SANDER : An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.” LMAO. Also capable of turning a mast into a toothpick in the time it takes you to tell the dog to shut the hell up!

    Coming back to this as Allans helpful description contained this: “It is basically a groove in the lower edge of the garboard seats as well as the ends of the balance of planking as it rises up the post and stem.” Now as a newbie I have to find out what a garboard is. It’s often one deep rabbit hole just to understand one word. The definition for garboard will undoubtedly have some term that I will need to look up. It never ends. Hell, I have several glossaries bookmarked and still can’t tell you the difference between seizing and stropping.

    Well crud. I’m sure it was mentioned as a useful model tool. Guess not.
  32. Laggard
    Stupid thing came with no instructions. Does the end tighten any more than this? If not ‘‘twas a waste of money.
  33. Laggard
    Sorry all. Managed to find a scrap that I can use. Thanks for the offers.

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.
