    LAST DAY OF NRG STORE SALE! Get your orders in today before midnight tonight!
  2. ferretmary1
    Only a few days to go, everybody!! The sale ends Saturday, so if you have your eye on something, get it now before it's too late! You don't have to be an NRG member to get the sale price, but you DO have to be an NRG member to get the extra discount. Join now and get an extra 20% off the sale price on most items!

    Hi Jim, We sent out an email with the discount code to all NRG members just a couple of days ago. I will PM it to you since I can't just answer you for all the world to see. Mary

    I just sent it to you. 😁

    This is the last week of our sale! We've marked down our CDs even further, so get them while you can. When the stock on hand is gone, they will be discontinued. Great as gifts or a gift for yourself! We also have a lot of Journal back issues available. The more you buy, the more you save! Complete your collection - or if you've never seen our Journal, find out what makes this premium magazine world renown. 96 pages per issue (except for pre 2018 issues which have 86 pages) with less than 10% advertising! More articles for your money than other magazines.

    We are running low on Half Hull kits. If you've had your eye on this project, order it soon. No rainchecks! When we get more in it will be after the sale and they will be back to full price. Here is a link to the build log for it: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/21980-half-hull-planking-project/ Here is a link to it in our store: https://thenrgstore.org/collections/plans-and-projects Mary

    The sale is still going strong, but won't last for long! Place your orders soon. If you snooze, you lose!

    Hi Ron, No, it's not your membership number. I will send it to you by email. Mary

    The NRG also has individual articles for sale available as downloads. If you are looking for an article on a certain topic, check out the list of available articles in the NRG store. They plan to eventually have all of the articles from all of the Journals available, but we aren't there yet. Mary

    For any doubters out there - Yes he did donate $101! Thank you GGibson!!

    A big Thank You to all of the MSW members who also joined as NRG members during the drive!

    The payment did not go through, but I don't know why. We've never had anyone get that message before, but I don't think we've had anyone make a donation from New Zealand before. Or if they tried and got this message, they didn't tell us. If you were paying by credit card through PayPal and not through a regular PayPal account, it could be that your credit card is blocking you from making the transaction. I know that one of my credit cards will not let me make any non-US transactions - and that is my business card!! Very frustrating. I would suggest contacting PayPal and asking them about it. Since you are the sender, you have to initiate the contact with them. If you want to try paying by credit card, instead of PayPal, you can use the donation link on the NRG site, which takes credit cards. Make a notation with the payment that it is for MSW and I will record it accordingly. To pay through the NRG donation link, go to https://thenrg.org/about/donate

    Allan - Thank you so much for your generous donation! You'll be getting a CAMM pass from me as well! AND - it's tax deductible! We are a 501c3 educational organization. Mary
  14. ferretmary1
    I wonder why. Maybe it's a PayPal thing to make sure we aren't scamming people. I guess if anyone wants to give more than $100, they could make two separate transactions, or call our office and pay by credit card. BTW, Tom, Thank you for your very generous donation! I will be working on receipts and CAMM passes later tonight. Mary

    Hi Allen, To actually donate, you have to go to the home page and click on the donation link. The link I listed takes you to Jim Hatches' plea for funding. I thought that people might like to know more about why MSW needs funds before they give. It literally costs thousands of dollars to run this site and this year we have only been receiving a total of $50 a month from donors (and it's the same 3 or 4 donors that are giving each month!). It would be nice if other people pitched in. I know times are hard right now, but surely people can spare $5 to support this great modeling forum! We're not asking anyone to give a lot (if you would like to, though, we won't turn you down), but if everyone gives a little bit, that would help. Mary

    Plus, since you saw it on MSW, you get a free MSW logo decal with your back issue! 😁
  19. ferretmary1
    We have hundreds of back issues on hand that we would like to move out. Some are very limited in supply and it's first come - first served, so don't delay! What you see is what we have, so please don't call or write us asking about issues that aren't listed. These are available through the NRG Store.

    The Jig has been our fastest selling item that we have produced for the ship model community, with almost 200 sold in the first two months of production. In fact, we sold out of the first 100 in less than 24 hours! The Jig is well made, durable and very reasonably priced. A note to non-US purchasers - the shipping cost for up to 3 jigs is the same as for 1 jig (blame the US postal service - not us) - so double up with a buddy or two and split the shipping. US shipping goes up a little bit with two or three jigs but is also worth splitting with a friend.

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.
