    For light-colored treenails, I use the straws from a household corn broom available at most home goods stores. I purchased a hand-held type at a dollar store and got enough straws to last a lifetime. Each one is about 10 inches long and there are various diameters. I pull them through a draw plate to get the exact size I need. A couple of minutes work gives me about 20 or 25 10 inch lengths. For dark treenails, I use the bristles from a palmyra brush or stable broom. Same deal except the lengths are a lot shorter. Both types give very strong, uniform treenails. I dip in diluted white glue then cut them almost flush with little snips. A bit of sanding when dry and it's done. Terry

    Think about getting into photoetch. It's not as hard as it first seems and allows you to make many things for modelling. Small disks of copper or brass are easy to do, with or without holes. The Micro Mark kit isn't a bad place to start. Terry

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.
