If you're frugal (or like me, cheap), strop the blades frequently when using them. Doesn't matter which brand as I have both SM blades and Exacto type.s.

You can buy rope walks. There's been a lot of good reviews on the one from SyrenShipModels. (Chuck's company).

This just boggles my mind... so tiny and yet so much detail. When you're done you could probably qualify for neurosurgery.

Ford GT40 by kpnuts - FINISHED - Magnifier - 1/12 - PLASTIC
mtaylor replied to kpnuts's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Looking fantastic and lights really add something special. BTW, you make me nervous with pictures like #5 with the wheel over the edge slightly. I'd hate to here it fell to the floor. -
Welcome to MSW, Marty. If you'll go to the top of this area, you'll find this: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/13703-for-beginners-a-cautionary-tale/ along with several other pinned posts to help you on your way. Also, each section has pinned posts. For example, in the Kit Builds area, there post on how to set up a log, etc. I hope this helps.

Hi Charlie, A quick search using the search feature gives some results. Looks like there's couple of build logs here on MSW. https://modelshipworld.com/search/?q=Black Prince&quick=1&type=forums_topic&search_in=titles

Check some of the Clippers... especially those by rwiederrich. I've not seen too many who did put the boom sails but vaguely recall seeing a Victory with booms and sails.

The SMS Trinkstein is an absolute great log. I highly recommend it for anyone who's not seen it.

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.
