Nautical Research Guild

Westmont IL, 60559-1917
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.

There is a GOOD software for this purpose. Name is SCAN2CAD, you can vectorize any raster or PDF. If your PDF is already a Vector drawing, you can translate into DWG, DXF or some other which I cannot remember. If you have non non-vector PDF or a raster, it also converts the lines into vectors, like lines, curves, splines etc, it can also recognize dotted lines, hatches etc. From a raster or non-vector PDF, the scan has to be clean and good. I cannot describe what is clean and/or good here, you have to try and find out. Before conversion you have to perform several operations on the image like converting to black/white (no grey scale), cleaning speckles and holes, thinning or thickening lines, smoothing the pixels, etc etc. I am not using it for the last 7 or 8 years because it is expensive, but I have made a lot of succesfull conversions.
Attached you will find a ship plan page found from internet and its conversion as DXF. The attached conversion is without any correction. You have to clean and correct some shapes, you can do this also on SCAN2CAD with vector superposed on raster. Some part of DXF is removed for copyright purposes.
I cannot remember exatly but you can download and use a trial version for one or two weeks with full functions.4.dxf delete.dxf
