    Your first order is getting strange. I checked the tracking and as of April 14 it has been in Niederaula, but now it says: Pre-Shipment Origin Post is Preparing Shipment I hope that doesn't mean that they are sending it back to the US!

    Someone at the post office probably didn't know the difference between Austria and Australia!

    That said, I'm not really prepared to purchase copies and mail them overseas as I am not sure how I would process payments. I am but a simple ship model builder...😉

      Thanks, I wasn't looking for any myself - I was asking for information so people in Australia could get one.

    Hi Mary. The bookstore where I purchased my copy doesn't normally mail books or magazines I believe. People normally visit the store to order and pick up their purchases. They had about a half dozen copies when I was in the store, so not a huge stock. I could ask them if they expect more if you like.

    Cheers,

    Peter

      No, that's OK.  I just thought that if they were selling them, I could refer people to them instead of ordering from us.  We still have bout 70 of them here.  I hate to see people paying up to $35 for shipping if they can get one locally.  What is the name of the store and where is it located?

    Thank you for your comments. I will look into getting a cardboard sleeve for future overseas orders. Unfortunately that may raise the shipping cost. I hope we can find a way to compromise and not raise the price any higher! Mary

    Hi Peter, Does your local hobby shop ship items? Maybe some other members from Australia would like to contact them for a copy. The shipping is indeed outrageous from the US to Australia. It's around $35. People, please PM Peter so we don't fill up the website with questions about the hobby shop. Thanks!

    Unfortunately 'local hobby shops' are becoming few and far between!

    I am very sorry this has happened. I will wait a couple of days before I process your new order - just in case the first order shows up. If it does, let me know right away and I can cancel the second order for you. Mary

    Hi Kauz, We do not ship by DHL, so there must be a mistake in the tracking. I just checked it and here is what it says: International Transit Processed through Facility FRANKFURT/FLUGHAFEN, GERMANY March 25, 2025, 6:43 am Hopefully it will be straightened out soon. Mary PS - Please send any further inquiries to the NRG office email: nrghomeoffice@gmail.com. That way I can figure out faster who you are since we have no members named Kauz.

    To any friends or followers of Altduck,  he passed away on March 28, 2025.  He will be missed by many.

  23. ferretmary1 started following Neverland Hobby - is this a legit model manufacturer?
  24. ferretmary1
    Yes, I was going to mention that the manufacturer of the submarine kit is in China.
  25. ferretmary1
    A lot of hand creams and body lotions can do that to print on a glossy surface. I'm sorry you had to learn that the hard way! 😱

    A couple of years ago, we had a member who ordered a flash drive from us. The member lives in North Carolina. I tracked the package heading east, but then it turned back and headed southwest. It got as far as Texas and sat there for a few days. I contacted the post office as soon as I saw it go off course. They finally corrected the direction and the member received it a few days later. Another member who lives in Indiana - less than 40 miles from here, had his order go to Puerto Rico and then come back. I could have driven it to the guy's house! The Post Office is crazy sometimes!

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.
