STUMPED..sort of

 

I have noticed that I am getting low on split rings and eyebolts.  Since I will need them, I am looking for a source from which I can order some additional before I run out.  I have been looking, but am unsure of which vendor is still active.  Can anyone point me to a good source?

Split rings and eyebolts are very easy to make on one's own. All you need is some blackened, annealed wire, a pair of side cutters, and a pair of round-nosed pliers. The learning curve is not steep at all, and once you get the hang of it, you can turn out rings and eyebolts lickety-split.

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.
