    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

    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.

    Hi, Slugger, Welcome aboard! Be sure to check out our sister site for The Nautical Research Guild. The link is at the top of the MSW home page (NRG Home Page). We produce the Nautical Research Journal. There is even a free digital Journal sample that you can view. Best Regards, Mary

    I know that Toni Levine is coming up with some other learning projects, but I'm not sure when they will be ready. Don't pester her for a timeline, though. When the next project is ready, we will announce it - you can be sure of that! 👍

    Hi Lyle, Right now we don't have any submissions for any ship plans. Sorry. Mary

    Did you know that your donations to MSW or the NRG are tax deductible if you are a US taxpayer? The NRG is a not for profit 501(c)3 educational organization, and as part of the NRG (but with separate accounting), MSW donations are also tax deductible. Please put us on your holiday donation list this year. Merry Christmas and Happy (and healthy) New Year!

    Talk to Chuck. Maybe he can give you some tips.

    Hi Chuck, I was just looking at some posts on the MSW site and noticed this one. Can you delete the address in it or update it to our current address? (237 S Lincoln St, Westmont, IL 60559) Also, the current projects that we have released do not have a CD with them - we just send people a PDF of the monograph. Thanks!

    If you are planning to order something from the NRG store as a present for the holidays, PLEASE get your order in soon. Orders overseas can take 6 - 8 weeks for delivery in some countries. The sooner you get your order in, the sooner we can ship it to you. The clock is ticking!

    We still have 2021 Model Ships calendars available. They make great gifts, so avoid the holiday rush and get yours today before supplies run out. Each 13 month calendar has 14 quality photographs of models built by MSW and NRG members. Proceeds benefit Model Ship World and the NRG, so show your support for these great model building institutions! Thank you!!

    We are now offering back issues of the Journal through the NRG store. Quantities are limited and when they are gone, they are gone! If you are not quite ready to take the plunge into becoming a member, this is a great way to check out our print Journal or get back issues you may have missed. Click on each Journal cover shot and you will be able to see what articles are in that issue. Here is a handy link to get to that page in our store: https://thenrgstore.org/collections/back-issues Be sure to check out the rest of our website while you are there. And yes, we still have calendars! Happy reading!

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.
