    For what it's worth, Proxxon MF-70 works fine. I'm on my second machine. It does everything I need. If you have limited horizontal surfaces, it's very easy to put back on a shelf to free up bench space. Downside is the noise, also the continual cranking can be an irritant. There is a bloke in Germany (I think, can't remember the company name) who has an adaptor to screw onto the crank handles that should reduce the irritation somewhat. Grant.

    Gentlemen, some great work spaces in that collection. I'm in awe you all are able to maintain such organized, tidy workshops. My work shop is disorganized and chaotic. Regards, Grant.

    Hi Dick, just caught up on your work. The colouring of the "bricks" in your stove look great. Functioning hinges on the companionway,👍. Are you retired now? Regards, Grant.

    I purchased one of these: https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/74112/index.html 2 years ago. It is the third pin vise I've owned, the best so far. Reasonably priced. Can't comment on the claim to clamp 0.1mm bits. The smallest I'm using are 0.4mm, which the tool handles without any problems. Regards, Grant.

    I do.... and I've been studying the page of details on the yards for some time, yet still managed to overlook the sheet block hanging off the yard.. Time for a new pair of specs. Thanks for your prompting. Regards, Grant.
  22. Boccherini
    Gentlemen, I am in need of advice. I have no plan for the sheet blocks under the main yards, so I tried to guesstimate off the 1:96 plans. Question is.....does this look about right? Thanks, Grant.

    Dick, I should've put a "😀" after "van". My apologies if you interpreted my light hearted comment as criticism. It was not intended as such. Regards, Grant.
  29. Boccherini
    The octopus gave it the look of a sea going food truck. Not very piratical. Regards, Grant
  30. Boccherini
    That's looking good John. What is the overall length at present? Regards, Grant.
  31. Boccherini
    Steven, just finished browsing through the build log, an interesting project well executed. Regards, Grant.
  32. Boccherini
    I nearly forgot to add: may your Christmas fowl be seasoned and cooked to perfection.
  33. Boccherini
    Glen, that is a well presented model, congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the completed project. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Regards, Grant.
  34. Boccherini started following Cutty Sark by Richard Dunn - 1/40 scale - scratch built semi-kit prototype
  35. Boccherini
    Glen, apologies for this, does this mean vessels built on Maui require an anti "fowling" paint? Grant.
  36. Boccherini
    Off to a great start. They look good. The koa has a pleasing colour. I thought we might be spared livestock and penguin references this time. You've let the longhorns in........... Regards, Grant.

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.
