    Make sure the back/far end of your fence is not closer to the blade than the front of the fence. This would increase chances for binding and kickback...Moab

    Absolutely Ken. Plain copier paper. I started working in mm a few years ago and as my mind ages mm are soooo easy. Obviously mm can't always be used. Also, a few years ago one of our forum members posted one they did for angles. It works great...Moab

    In order to make minor size adjustments on the chopper I added a small graphic to the floor. The increments allow me to more accurately make 1mm (or smaller) changes to the position of the stop. I

    Here’s my two cents. My skipper during most of my first tour was a four striper from the Academy. A great CO. HE defined the difference between the two as follows: Any vessel that can be carried on a ship is a boat. I’ve given up discussing this with individuals since there seems to be about 100 different definitions. I have no idea which is correct...Moab

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.
