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.
Pure Tung Oil refuses to dry in 10 days - what to do?

Dan and ‘ye all’ please answer this:
I’m trying to use none toxic products and came across Tung Oil which I used neat on my own dining table. It turned out well and my daughter asked me to do her oak table which is 3x size of mine. In this instance I did sand off (very thoroughly) the previous wax finish. I gave it several coats wiping off the excess afterwards and leaving for 24 hrs. The table had been placed outside on a covered patio for the sandiing etc and left outside for the whole process. I noticed white spots appearing and it seems to have got progressively worse, despite resanding those areas. I’ve had such conflicting advice so even contacted the manufacturer who advise stripping it all down again with ahydrocarbon based ( benzine in South Africa). This seems quite drastic and defeats my whole objective of a toxic free procedure. I’m sure is more to do with moisture than any athivnag else. Your thoughts greatly appreciated.
