    don't know what kind of wood it is, but Home Depot paint stir sticks (12" and 24") are very good. Cuts easily down to very thin dimensions. Very little fuzz. Color/grain is a bit boring but it is very stable. And the price is right - I always pick up and extra stick or 2. Lucky Star

    No matter how tight I try to pull standing rigging, time eventually causes it to sag or pull it too tight and some other piece of standing rigging goes limp. Anyone have any tricks? Will the black (cotton?) thread tighten/shrink with an application of water? Lucky Star

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.
