Hello from Northern California Foothills
Ryland Craze replied to bobandlucy's topic in New member Introductions
Hi Bob and welcome to Model Ship World. You have done a very nice job on building your Grand Banks Dory. That kit seems to be a very good kit for the first time builder of a wooden ship model. We are glad to have you aboard. -
Hi Darryl and welcome to Model Ship World. We appreciate the support you have given MSW by becoming a sponsor. You have many products on your website that will appeal to our members. It is really amazing the amount of detail that is present in these small scale models. They will enhance any model railroad layout or the display shelf of a ship modeler who wants to build a small scale model. We are glad to have you and your company on MSW.

New To Building Ships Help and advice needed
Ryland Craze replied to Richard O's topic in New member Introductions
Hi Richard and welcome to Model Ship World. Based on your experience, you should have no problem building a wooden ship model. You have been given good advice by the members in their posts above. I look forward to seeing what you decide to build, but take your time making your decision as the build time could run into many years. I would also check out the build logs on whatever ship model you are considering. -
Hi Rachel and welcome to Model Ship World. I am glad you have joined us and look forward to seeing your build log.

Your Pinnace is coming along nicely. It seems you have overcome some of the problems that occurred during construction. My Longboat builds also had the translucent hulls. It happens when you sand down the planks to get a nice finish.

Your dory turned out nice. It looks like a fun build. This would probably be a nice kit to use in teaching an introduction to wooden ship modeling class.

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.
