  1.    mtaylor reacted to a post in a topic: Materials and finishes used on 1920s era ship models - research or experience
  2. Amy
    Hello, I work for a maritime museum in Australia and we recently acquired a large builders model of a passenger liner, which was fabricated by Vickers-Armstrongs Ltd in Barrow-in-Furness in the UK in the late 1920s. We are curious about the materials and finishes used on this model and hope to learn more prior to undertaking any testing conservation treatment. I was wondering if you might be aware of any resources available on this topic? Or do you have any personal experience researching or repairing 1920s era models? I understand that this is a very knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic community, so I would greatly appreciate any insight you may be able to share on this topic! Thank you in advance and kind regards, Amy

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.
