    For delicate parts like that, I use a combination of Richard's and Steven's methods. I use a fairly fast setting glue and simply hold the part in place while the glue sets, then when the glue is hardened I drill and dowel with fine bamboo dowels to reinforce the joint. John

    You'd better watch out, mate, or your good Admiral might get the job of sewing sails for all the members on the forum! John

    harvey, long ago someone who knew of my interest in things maritime gave me a copy of that little book. I've thought I'd like to build one of those interesting looking shios, so now I can do it virtually through your build. john

    When I was at sea we were taught not to wear gloves when handling wire. A cut hand was preferable to a wire catching in a glove and potentially doing a mass of damage if the glove didn't pull off. Most of our cargo gear was wire rope (as well as mooring springs) however I don't recall anyone ever being injured by a broken wire rope strand. John

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.
