    Hi Thomas, Thank you for your response. I managed to get the book "Wolfram zu Mondfeld" in PDF, so I have something to read... English is standard, I can manage somehow. I assume you mean this Czech forum: https://www.modelforum.cz "Doris Obrucova" is TOP, but there is nothing that compares to the quality of modelshipworld.com and I am glad to be a part of it. Martin

    Hi guys, OK, I'll stop talking about the book for now. I will focus on the build logs that will give me the most information. Can I ask where is the best place to order models from Model Shipways? I assume that probably from the Model Expo directly from the USA. Otherwise, I would have some basic modeling experience from other fields, see the attachment. I recognize balsa from plywood and CA glue from wood glue 🙂 Martin

    Hi to all, I'm new here and this is my first post. Greetings from Europe and I apologize in advance for my English, I am not from an English speaking country. I'm glad I found this forum before I start building my first wooden model ship. Why I started this topic...I want to ask local experienced modelers if there is any book that a beginner should read as an introduction to the world of wooden ship modeling. Why am I asking... I am looking for a book that would be really worth reading, and given my English, I would consider translating it into Czech (I am from the Czech Republic). As for the first build, I am clear about the choice of model. This forum has turned me on to Model Shipways a lot, I try to read a lot about the "Lowell Grand Banks Dory". I chose this model also because it is produced in the USA and I will find great support for it here. That's all for now and thank you for welcoming me to this great community. Martin, 46 years old

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.
