    Hello Nick,

    I have a beginner question on affixing blocks directly on to the new eyebolts (versus the older more expensive ones), I know we did this in class (getting older). The newer eye bolts are totally enclosed due to cost versus the round older ones (which I prefer, and I will buy in bulk the future if BJ has them for sale), I assume I need to cut the eyebolt to connect the block directly to it. If that is what we did in class, where should I make the cut?

    BTW I will need a display case for the Yankee Hero, I will order it this week.

     

    Thank you and Blue Jacket for being a great support staff!

    Bill T.

      Hi Bill,

       

      You will want to make the cut where the ring portion meets the post.

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.
