    Hi Chris!

     

    Thanks so very much for the sage advice. As to being anywhere near a modeling club, I'm at least three hours south of anywhere like that -- Portland, Oregon. I live in Roseburg, Oregon, which is pretty much timber and ranching country. The young folks here have nothing to do with hobbies such a model building. If they're not glued to their smartphones, they are getting into trouble with drugs or whatever. We did have a hobby shop some eight or so years ago, but it folded due to lack of interest. Two years ago, our Walmart quit selling the few models and modeling accessories they had altogether due to lack of interest. From what I've gathered, at least in these here parts, building models is a lost art no one around here cares to resurrect.

      Ah, life in the sticks -- I'm well acquainted with it! I grew up in Humboldt County, California, which as you may know is hours away from anywhere. I moved here to SC from Mariposa County (home to Yosemite NP), and the nearest big cities were Merced and Fresno, which aren't exactly bastions of maritime culture.

       

      Cheers!

      I lived in Taylorsville, Plumas County, CA for a couple of years. My parents are buried there. I now call it my hometown. Now THAT'S remote!

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.
