Secret Service agents work closely with local law enforcement to ensure that the the visit of so-and-so with such-and-such on board the riverboat (use your imagination) goes according to plan. Once underway, passengers may find themselves in the presence of a known personality and have the chance at a selfie. But engineering has found a minor problem with propulsion (maybe torquing a couple critical nuts) which may delay the departure by a half hour. Meanwhile, the bridge crew just watches the show…

Anyone know if there is an alternative material for Silkspan? I can’t seem to find it over here, will keep searching but I haven’t found an EU vendor yet.

Personally, and not to be rude, no matter how good the Byrnes saw is, I find it hard to throw down well over 800€ to ship one here. Present saw price + overseas shipping = x€ customs filing fee + customs tax on x€ = y€ 20% France VAT taxes on total (x€ + y€) = z€ Saw = x€ + y€ + z€. Just for mental comparison, 750€ just paid for four new 215/60R17 100H Michelin 4-Season tires on my 4x4 with mounting and full 4 wheel alignment. So I understand and research the replies here offering up other saw options, they’re people like me who search for cheaper alternatives. We all know the short answer is Byrnes is best, but some of us can’t have a Byrnes (or just don’t think it’s worth the total cost).

Might need to talk to you off-line about that. Maybe your club can answer an expat’s questions.

Welcome! You’ll fit right in. I need to come hang with you. Looking to build a L1 rocket here soon. I also still build the little ones although we’re limited to 500 ft AGL in France. Booooooooo……

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.
