Nautical Research Guild
237 South Lincoln Street
Westmont IL, 60559-1917
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.
Which scrollsaw

Hi everyone,
We have the Proxxon DS 460 scroll saw and a very old and greatly treasured Aeropiccola. The Proxxon will hold its own with most scroll saws and is capable of cutting some serously heavywight timber with the right blades (olsen or FD). The Aeropiccola is a gem but is best suited to delicate work. If you ever get the chance to buy one....just buy it.
If you have the money, and we didn't at the time, I would buy a Hegner and be done with it. If a Hegner won't cut what you are trying to do then the only other option is an industial laser!
The Proxxon tools are very nice and along with the Proxxon FET table saw we have just about everything covered for what we build that requires some machine tools.
All the very best,
David.
