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.

nrg710,
you can draw your desing in Rhinoceros, you must save your desing in *.igs extension (Rhino has the possibility of save your work in many types of extension, is very usefull and esay to mane) . Then, import the file into Hydromax, and open it, review corners, surfaces and touch parts of surfaces. When all is ok, save it in *.msh extension ( hydromax extension is equal to Maxsurf extension).
You can work with the file , modelled easily in rhino, in maxsurf and similar software ( hydromax, hullspeed....).
Now I used this program to modelling and studing diferents hull shape, and efficiency, working with diferent methods to calculate wave resistance and others.
