    Thanks again Mark,and thank you too Brian for your input here..... I think I'll go with the Dremel Versatip, I like the idea of not having to wait too long for the iron to heat up and not having to secure the pieces. So thanks again for the advice. Frank

    Thanks Mark,,, Now..... with that said... and taking into account that I'm not going to be building a full blown air craft carrier and that my building skills are mediocre at best, would I be better off buying a fairly decent soldering iron rather than considering a mini torch set up?I don't think I'll be doing anything elaborate as far as soldering goes, wait a minute, no ...I know for a fact I wont be doing anything elaborate. As far as soldering goes it will be minimal. The reason I asked this question was to see whether or not the Dremel pencil torch would be as good as a regular iron , it just looked like it's an easier tool to use, and of course...... the price is right Thanks again and everyone's input is appreciated. Frank

    Thanks John...... i haven't given much thought as to what type soldering hard or soft. Whats the consensus for what we do in ship modeling? Would silver soldering be better or not, My question is would the Dremel butane Virsatip be good to use with either soft or hard soldering or should I just be looking at a conventional soldering iron like a Weller Frank

    just soldering for normal model ship building, Frank

    Just inquiring if anyone here has any info as to the stability regarding this item. I was thinking about getting one. Lowes has them on special for$24.99. seems like a good price , The cheapest I've seen them for is $49.00. They also have the mini torch at the same price, or would a reg soldering iron like the Weller be a better choice. Thanks . Frank

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.
