    I used it already on the dowels I put inside the masts (to strengthen them) yep - just a case of scraping using the curved insode section of the blade, Its very sharp and did a great job, the idea is to do the same after making on the dowel each end where to start tapering it. OC.

    This one - OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    Thats a great repair - I remember always having the same problem with kits of Harriers - with thier fron screen. OC.

    I have got a great new tool for shaping spars - its a rounded scraping tool that slides in and locks (extended or retracted) it will be great for shaping the tapers on my dowel spars. OC.

    You mean for sanding plastic or even wood parts? I use nail sanding files - I have a mix of the flexible two sided ones and many that are thin with card in the center - I have beautiful nails now 🤣 OC.

  14. Old Collingwood

    Yep me too Aurora - Black Manta etc and the TR3 (Poss Blackbird replacement) I once went with a group of aircraft spotters to a UK mil base Mildenhall as two Blackbirds were stationed there then, we camped out in a field under the runway hoping to see one of the aircraft depart, we never did as they were kept hid away in there hangars. OC.

    Its some plane the TSR2 its massive when you stand next to it - yet such a tiny wingspan. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    TSR2 would be Brilliant, I have seen both survivors at Cosford and Duxford museums - amazing aircraft. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Nah - you live in a model shop.🤩 OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Back to normal - toothpaste to the rescue - final result magnifier 1 finger 0 "ouch". View through magnifier after repair. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Thank you sincerely EJ. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Makes you realise what a special job - dry docking is getting the ship ligned up to catch those blocks. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    This is what makes our forum so special - we are like a family looking out for each other and helping where we can. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Thanks for that lou, I have just been looking online at our local store to see what they have - not seen the above mentioned but they do have many others. OC.

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.
