    Don't forget that MSW is "Open" 24/7. There are people who visit this site at all hours of the day and night. There are also members who browse without logging in, so you don't see them, but they are there. They have to eventually log in to see certain parts of MSW (the build logs, for example). I think I've seen as many as 500 people logged in at once, but usually it's between 200 and 300. Mary

    Hi Frank, The directors have been talking about it, but nothing has been done so far. I think they want to release them in 10 year intervals, so it would probably be a year or so after Vol 70 No 4 is released. Mary

    PPS: The digital Journals go back to Vol 63 No 3, which is when we started the digital Journal. These are available only to NRG members with digital accounts, for a modest fee. We also have Vol 61.4, Vols 62.1 - 62.4, and 63.1 - 63.4 as PDFs available to NRG and MSW members who want them, for a modest fee. MSW members must let me know your MSW screen name so I can verify that you are an MSW member. Mary

    Hi Frank, Since you have a digital membership, you can also buy digital copies of those Journals and have them added to your digital account. Contact me at the office email and I can give you more details: nrghomeoffice@gmail.com Mary Van Dahm NRG Office Manager PS: Anyone else reading this who has a digital Journal account, may also contact me for back issues if your membership is current.

    Then you will have to order more! 😁

    We have MSW stickers, too!

    Contact Josh at Blue Jacket (josh@bluejacketinc.com) for more information, but basically, yes, you would be making parts for their models with a casting machine.

    I will share your post with some of our NRG members in Maine. Maybe you will get a bite.

    My husband doesn't plan to die until he has all of his models built. Looking at the stacks in his workshop, I think he will live to be 355 yrs old! I know my beads and gemstones will go in a dumpster if I die first. He has no interest in rehoming my stuff. 😜

    I just looked - It's around 10 grand including shipping.

    Wyapa - I hope we're not overwhelming you with our back and forth banter. Chris is there a better site or modeler that you would recommend for Wyapa to go to to find a more accurate model? Mary

    Bob - Just a suggestion - in your 'spare' time, start cataloging your books for the sake of your 'dearly beloved'. That way your spouse or family won't have the arduous task of having to sort through them all some day. A lot of great libraries end up in a dumpster because the owner's family was too overwhelmed to deal with it. If there are certain books that you want to go to certain people, put an index card inside the book with a note that says "Please give this book to .......", and list their contact information. Let your family know that some of the books have such cards inside, so they know to check for them. Every year we deal with family members trying to figure out what to do with books and models left behind by a parent or spouse. Mary

    The Model Shipyard has excellent quality models. The only drawback is that they are in South Africa, so I don't know how much the shipping charges would be.

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.
