michaelb40 Posted March 27, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2019 Hello everyone, I am new here and want to ask for help with a snafu. Earlier today, my wedding band fell into the hold of my prized model ship and I can't reach it. Does anyone have any ideas for how to get it out without damaging the ship and without shaking or flipping it? Any advice would be much appreciated. Feel free to shoot me a message at xxx-xxx-xxxx as I am not on the computer often.

Gregory Posted March 27, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2019 Not an easy task, without a picture or two showing access to the hold... My best guess for a start, is a piece of small gauge wire, that is fairly rigid.. mtaylor 1 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottRC Posted March 27, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2019 Try your local auto parts store and ask for a flexible mechanical parts retriever. They come in two types, one is magnetic, the other has a set of claws you work with your thumb. Some even have lights. I have one that is 1/4" in diameter that I have used many time in retrieving stuff I dropped into tight, enclosed areas. mtaylor and Cuda1949 2 Quote Current Builds: Revell 1:96 Thermopylae Restoration Revell 1:96 Constitution COMPLETED Aeropiccola HMS Endeavor IN ORDINARY Planned Builds: Scientific Sea Witch Marine Models USF Essex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
