    Hello Chris,Just a thought,If your winter climate is wet,damp, a moisture problem could effect your modeling woods etc,check the quality of your windows,ie single/double pane,fully insulate .Your basement is half way there already,A small area for painting (dust free)closed off (plastic),if your using power tools this area has also to be required to be dust free, there is dust removal systems that connect ,that's not to expensive, then out of the room. A good system of lighting,plug outlets,a chair and a stool at different heights ,also easier on the back to change . A floor covering at the modeling area that can make it easy to find dropped pieces as you know many are very small,a place to display plans,a usable sink,magnifying lamp ,music,, I used to manage big kitchens at one point in my life,were tool etc were used by many staff so the motto being "put things back were you got it from"to prevent clutter and accidents" the most used ones in a central area to lesson travel. A not easy task is to keep the room temp as even as possible, on the lighter side,1 sofa for pondering,2 a refrigerater(for beer) to help ponder problems,snacks etc,. Enjoy your new home and modeling,ps do not forget to ask permission from the Admiral,ha ha,Edwin

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.
