    Garth: I found your log very informative. This is my first ship build ever at 76 yrs of age. Yes, the instructions are very sparse but thanks to the plans my kit is coming along. I took your advise on the distancia pieces for the hull framework. I am having a bit of trouble deciphering the sizes. With some help I found ou they use the metric scale so that was a help. But their are some sizes I am having trouble with....maybe you can help me? Some sizes I am having trouble converting are...... 0, 5x3 1, 5x4 What I am looking for? Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Norman email address chaltun@verizon.net

    Hi! ...and thanks guys for the quick response. Here is a sampling of the confusion: some parts have a measurement as 6x11x72, 1x4 some show a distance between 2 points as 60 There are no commas between any of the numbers Normy

    Help! I am 76 yrs old and trying to build my first ship kit. Why at my age I'm attempting this project beats me, I was studying the plans today, which leaves a lot to be desired, I come across my first problem. Probably I'm ignorant but how do you convert these italian measurements into inches? Kindly help me. Many Thanks. Norman

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.
