    I received my order of washers from Model Motorcars, who now owns Scale Hardware (see previous notes). I liked working with the people there through email. I order 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm ID washers out of curiosity, not knowing exactly what I was ordering, and I am glad I did. OK, the 0.6 mm washers are small and I do not have a use for them yet. From the picture below, indeed the 0.8 mm are perfect for the eyebolts/ ringbolts. On the left is the brass washer supplied from the model kit. I think the inside diameter is too large and the 1.0 mm washer from Scale Hardware looks much better. I did drive to our local ACE hardware and found out that after being in town forever, they are closing. They said it was due to the landowner, whatever that meant. I think you jinxed them!!

    Update ... This morning I found out through Google that Scale Hardware has been bought by Model Motorcars in England. The website is https://www.modelmotorcars.com/scalehardware/ The 0.8mm ID washers suggested by Kurt Van Dahm in his Ships in Scale articles can be found at https://model-motorcars.myshopify.com/collections/small-parts-hardware/washers I think I will buy some!!

    Greetings, From where did you order 0.8mm washers? I am not seeing a website for Scale Hardware. Please provide. Thank you

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.
