    I'd be game for the Thermopylae kit, and think that twice the postage would help compensate for the trouble of shipping.  I'm located between Philadelphia and Reading PA, and USPS would be fine.  You can e-mail me:   johnsymborski@aol.com  with instructions to buy the kit 'as is'.  Of course there will be TLC needed to build her.

      we had some freezing rain a few years ago that iced up the roads.  Could not go anywhere until late morning once thing warmed up a bit.  Don't miss driving to work in the snow.  we do have the occasional hurricane though.

      Ahoy Jeff !  The package came today intact ... thanks.  It looks like virtually everything is there, and I'm not going to start it until my present Wasa wood build is done.  I've seen a couple logs showing what can be done with the Revell Cutty Sark kit - in terms of augmenting the detail and improving (busting?) the model to a much higher level.  Wooden deadeyes and blocks being just two examples.  Something similar is doable with the Thermopylae 'sister' kit.  Meanwhile, I'll gather more info on the 'Big T'.   Johnny

      Great.  Let me know if you do a build log for it so I can follow along

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.
