    Much easier to pirate figures than ship models. Less than $100. for the rubber and resin plus the cost of the casting from the original caster. It is/was a bit of a plague.

    There is a wealth of information here. I model vicariously by reading the various blogs. Look around while you are deciding on your next steps.

    If for some reason you want to avoid Model Expo, have a look at the NRG’s Half Hull project https://thenrgstore.org/

    Been there and still am there. It is a shame. I don't have enough experience to advise on beginner kits but you have landed on the top ship modeling forum and help and advice will be forth coming. Stand by.

    Talented family.

    I bought this thing a while back. Like most of my tools it has been rarely used if at all. Seems to me that the blade could be replaced with a straight one.

    I like the "This is what I have done." but I really really like "This is how I did it". Thanks

    Probably varies from manufacturer to manufacturer like most countries.

    Are you still planning a tool review?
  31. JohnLea
    Sound advice I have seen here is to buy tools when you need them for a specific purpose. I have purchased a number of "have to haves" and never really used them.
  32. JohnLea
    Great news. Keep pumping!
  33. JohnLea
    I am going to hazard a guess. BINGO!
  34. JohnLea

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.
