I have two... a Proxxon and a MicroMark. Both are hand held. The Micromark is wider than the Proxxon and requires their power supply to operate it. Both work well. For most purposes, I use the MicroMark version as I find the Proxxon is a bit unwieldy for many tasks. I also have a belt/disk combo but I really wouldn't say it's all that portable.

Welcome to MSW, Charles. The Wasa is looking very good.
-
Well, the "old" set is/was probably better than the newer ones. I still have enough bits to last for several years.

The second one in Bob's post showing the photos is the one I have. Possible and even most likely that the current offering is different from the one I bought many moons ago. To me, it's still useful as there has been a need at times for the less used bits. I've used them in pin drills, dremel type, and a mill.

That is an excellent find. Thanks for posting it.

Stevinne, at one point Model Expo offered a wooden box with like 20 different microdrills sizes. There were 10 of each size. I don't know if they still offer it but it was good value for the money and I have yet to wear out or loose the bits.

I love that view from the deck. It must be hard to work out there with that scenery.

So the Kraken already ate the flightless bird, the boat is next and the bear is dessert? I need a scorecard to keep track of all this. That is going to be some great looking water when done.

I've found I don't use my lathe all that much complared to tools like my mill, jig saw, and mini-table saw. However, I would recommend once or even before you buy to go here: https://www.littlemachineshop.com/Products/product_new.php and go to the "Learning Center" tab. And also here: https://www.mini-lathe.com/mini_lathe/introduction/introduction.htm It will give some serious knowledge on the care and feeding of these machines.

Welcome to MSW, Vaidas. We do have more than a few card builders here so feel free to open a log in the kit area. It's great way to meet others and get help as needed.

I agree with Allan. Also a couple more of the ship itself. I don't see a spritsail mast in the photo. It sits at the extreme forward end of the bowsprit. There's more than a few masting pieces that look like that.

I totally agree with Jaager. Begin at the beginning has untold advantages. And open on a log when you start.

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.
