    Anyone know of a source for 1:64 scale figures of sailors or workmen (1 inch tall)?

    EJ Can you please tell me the supplier you got these from?

    Hi All! I recently completed my Pride of Baltimore and also previously built Bluenose II (both Model Shipways). I've been trying to choose and purchase my next project but it seems the ones that I like are out of stock. For instance MSW Niagra or Syren. Are the manufacturers closed because of Covid? I can't even get email responses from Model Expo and others.

    Just curious...Do any suppliers sell pre-blackened hardware/fittings?

    Looking for my next project and would appreciate suggestions. I completed Model Shipways Bluenose II last year and have been working on MSW Pride of Baltimore and I'm into rigging and expect completion in q few weeks. (With Covid/stay at home I'm putting in 3-5 hours a day). I think I'm ready for something more challenging for my next ship. I love the lines of the schooners and don't really care for fancy "ornamental" looking ships. The 1:64 was perfect for my fingers and eyesight so I want to stay with large scale. Both of my builds are plank on bulkhead and I like that but may be ready for plank on frame if its a really nice ship. I'm not an engineer and need good plans and instructions. Please make any suggestions you can and thank you for your time.

    This is my 2nd build. I finished the Bluenose using exclusively titebond wood glue. This build is the Pride of Baltimore. I thought I'd try Bob Hunt's practicum and he used CA for almost everything so that's what I'm using on this build. Hull and deck are complete, stained and painted and it looks pretty good. I've used CA for everything including hull and deck planking and the only problems encountered were a few misalignments that I had to redo.

    What do you use to assemble square pieces like 4 walls of a cabin or other boxy deck furniture? I use CA to assemble these parts so the square or jig would have to be glass or smooth metal. Thank you

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.
