Patrick, your yacht is really coming along. Your using styrene really gives it a modern (fancy appearance}. But remember that styrene and bright lights do not play nice with each other. Years ago I remember a modeler brought a model of the PT109 to Manitowoc and because of the heat and light it had started melting in his car. Just keep it at normal temps and you will never have to worry about any problems. David B

Your planking looks magnific Mark. That Poly really enhances the wood. One thing I do not understand is your pear wood. I know several modelers who swear by it and say it does not ding or mar easily. David B

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.
