Hello from the southwest US, I am new to this forum, and have a question I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My father completed 2 beautiful model ships, the H.M.S Victory, and the Adler von Lubeck. He has passed away, and I now live over 2000 miles from where the models are. I have admired these models since childhood, as my father finished them during my youth. I can remember him soaking the wooden planks, and using boxes of toothpicks and hand drilling the holes to place them as pegs along each plank. I can remember him drawing the twine through beeswax and tying all the rigging by hand or with tweezers. I would really like to have them in my home, but I have no idea how to go about shipping such delicate models, or if the prospect would be cost prohibitive. I would need to ship them from the northeast US to the southwest US. Are there any companies that specialize in something like this? I can't imagine trusting them to just anyone, and would expect they would need very specialized packing and transport. Any advise or input would be greatly appreciated, I really have no idea where to look. Thank you in advance, Chris

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.
