thanks Rich . well german language is really difficult from what i can tell.i can feel you oh... i lived and worked in ireland back in days and later with american coleagues for couple of years. but language is live thing and its brushes away when not used...Ive been out of real practice few years now. but im glad i can still use it. well, english is what greek used to be in first century...global language. and thats great. i like it how it is. certainly better than mandarine chinese or german for same matter.

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.
