Dremel units can change from collet to chuck within the same brand. Others are not compatible with Dremel. I have done so. Very convenient. Save your money with buying a Dremel, see it as a good investment. My corded and rechargeable has lasted for years.

Great Photo Etched Saw Blades
Nirvana replied to kurtvd19's topic in NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD - News & Information
I have bought quite a few items from John Vojtech, the quality is better than what I expected. Have been using the saw for many years without noticing any wear of the blade. I prefer to give him my shopping spree instead of Amazon or Micro-Mark. -

I don't have sort of CNC experience, but after watching some videos it seems to be a fair entry level machine. There were some well-founded negativity, of areas that could had been better designed. But overall for 600 dollars it seems like a fair investment for hobby purpose. -
Only question is the scale 1:72. Is it based on the big original model? The model, which took three months to construct, weighed over 25 long tons (25 t), measured 65 feet (20 m) in diameter and 20 feet (6.1 m) high, and used compressed air hover pads for up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) of hover-height movement around the set

Mini self contained airbrush
Nirvana replied to Bill Hudson's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I would suggest to go with a regular small air compressor and an airbrush. The compressor will let you to adjust the pressure more easily. And to me it looks like one has to have a compressor to recharge the canister. So why buy such a unit? -
MSW is extremely slow
Nirvana replied to Keith_W's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**

Oh my, that's a small piece to put in the lathe. I know I would had screwed it up. You on the other hand, make it look so easy. Beautifully done.

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.
