    Thanks to all of you. @Allan. I live in Montalcino near Siena, Tuscany. Nice little town. I've been looking at some great work and bought the Amati copper plate to upgrade the ones in the Pegasus kit, which aren't so great. They are medium tick. @Roger: that could be a very nice solution, I'm just waiting to visit my parents who have a paper cutter and try it out. I haven't thought about it. Thanks @wefalck: the old scissor works pretty well, the only problem is when the piece is too small and it's hard to sharpen the edge. @Bob: exactly the problem I have using the scissor, so I will try to proceed with your suggestion Thanks for your reply, it's my first time with coppering and it's not easy to work with metal compared to wood.

    Hi to All, I’m building the Amati Pegasus and this is my first serious model that I’m trying to build. I have finished the first part and now I’m coppering the hull, but i have substitute the standard furniture included in the kit with a most detailed plates. Because they are ticker I have found difficulties to proper cut them with the right tool , and in all my research I was not able to find tool or technics than allow me to have a sharp cut line. so i ask your help to solve this first important issue. thank you and have a nice Sunday Gabriele

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.
