    I suppose that buying dowels in inches is not really a big deal, especially since I am an amteur machinist with a small lathe and mill (I used to make functioning small steam engines from aluminum, steel, and brass, but decided I prefer building wood sailing ships). However, the suggestion from Gregory about dowels on Amazon bears looking into. Thanks for all the tips and advice, and I'll be taking a caliper with me to Ace Hardware and Hobby Lobby when I go looking for dowels. Sal Ateca Tucson, AZ

    I was given this site over on Ships of Scale: Wood Dowels Building Materials | Cornwall model Boats I will consider buying a few from them even though they are in the UK rather than turn my own from Imperial sized stock. Thanks for the replies.

    Hello All, I have three kits from Caldercraft's "Nelson's Navy" line and I've been searching the internet for metric diameter dowel rods as backups in case I make a mistake or two with the dowels that come with the kits (currently building HMS Snake). I live in the USA and my internet searches have not resulted in finding a single supplier of metric diameter dowels. Can anyone provide me with a link to a supplier? Thanks for any assistance.

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.
