    Apparently the use of this part to extend the lathe bed it not recommended by the manufacturer. I don't know the reason why. Maybe it will affect the performance of the motor? I don't know. I just saw this on the internet. Have you had any issues with the bed extension?

    I believe it is by design.

    I noticed that they have a special form that you have to fill out in order to get replacement parts. I think it is under Contact US:

    I thought the ST was to be painted and copper plated?

    Is Fusion 3D free? It's an online software, correct?

    I would upgrade the spindle motor to a more powerful one. You can purchase a Z axis assembly that allows this to happen.

    merci pour le lien.

    in my bucket list.

    that is what I was thinking. I look at the hooks etc that those two ladies are using and it makes me think that they are making ropes for large ship models. But for me, Monsieur Gaétan Bordeleau's models are large.

    if they are using that machine to make ropes for model ships, I can just imagine the size of those models.
  32. targa4403
    oh i see what you are saying. if you look at that drawing, it could be interpreted to mean 4 planks of 3/64" are required for the width of the ports. I have the kit but it's buried inside my closet. What I was thinking is I would take the two pieces that make up the port lid and take measurement of the total width.
  33. targa4403
    Hello. I am a little confused by this image showing 3/64 with varying heights(page 112). I thought the drawings were 1:1 scale to the model or am I incorrect?
  34. targa4403
    Hi, just wondering. Are you saying the kit is missing some pieces, or that you have to make those missing pieces?
  35. targa4403
    sort of. Here is a list of components for air brush thinner: There are four ingredients: Distilled water Isopropyl Alcohol (99.9%) Acrylic Flow Improver Acrylic Fluid Retarder

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.
