Piet, Thinking to much often leads to really cool things. For a minute there, I thought you were going to say you figured out how to make the torpedo tubes actually fire... What you're doing looks very workable. Love it!!!

You know you got the towers right when the finials fit and yours are perfect. I think mine took three tries to get everything lined up right.

Hamilton, 1) Generally speaking...yes. 2) The line feeds inboard through a hole lined with either lead or leather (depending...) and then (depending on the size and weight of the lid) may go to a set of blocks or just to a cleat. 3) It's my impression that the timbers rest or are attached to the stem. You might ask this in the Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck area.

Max, Put the checkbook down. Make a cup/glass of your favorite beverage and sit back. Now ask yourself this: Where do I want go with this hobby? If it's kits then power tools are a waste of money. If it's scratch building, then kits are a waste of money. Then ask yourself: Where am I in the shipbuilding learning curve? If you're doing more and more scratch work and bashing, what tools will most useful for that? It's a growth process, I think. When you're ready for the big power tool, you'll know it and no one will convince you otherwise. if you're more kit oriented, go for the kit and put the money away until you need that "next thing".. be it tools, kits, or wood. Now I could tell you exactly what I'd buy, but it may not be what you'd want or need. Kinda' evil, aren't I?

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.
