Where to find 28 gauge black wire?
captainbob replied to David Spindle's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Try your local hardware store. If they don’t have it McMaster Carr has it. They call it: 1008 Carbon Steel—Black-Oxide Finish .014 dia. http://www.mcmaster.com/#metal-wire/=sltk0h -
Bob, that is quite a story. I thought I heard late last year that she had been moved to dry-dock. There are so many stories about her present state that it is hard to know the truth. I also thought it should have gone to Pearl Harbor where she would be at home. Arkansas probably got her due to some political favor. I still hope to build the City of Oakland someday but there are many others to build first. Thanks for the letter. Bob

I like that method of caulking. It’s nice and crisp. I used it on my dragon deck. Bob

What an interesting concept of using clay in this way. It should work beautifully. That’s really thinking “outside the box”, or is it “inside the hull”. Oh, well. Can’t wait to see the drawings happen. Bob

Yes. Walt, take care of "things", the boats will wait. Bob

I don’t know how I missed this build for so long. But I’m here now to admire and learn from your fantastic skills. Thanks for sharing. Bob

Where did you find the gnomes and elves you hired to build at that scale? They are doing a great job. If I were you I'd keep them around. Bob

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.
