    If you spent time in our misbegotten Asian adventure and are over 70, you're probably already a member and just don't know it.

    Back in 1971 I got a Scientific brand model of Bluenose, which sat on a shelf until I retired in 2008. I started it, then got caught up in other things. It sat there until I got, and completed, a metal Model Expo civil war Parrott rifle. The Parrott got me back into modeling, and I have now taken up the Bluenose again.

    I will. Actually, I was in Saigon for only a day, but University of Saigon sounds more impressive than Long Bin Technical School of Digging Holes, Filling Sand Bags, and Standing Guard Duty.

    I am working on my first model - Scientific (brand) Bluenose - that I received many years ago as a gift and which I never got around to working on until I retired. I recently watched a video on making ratlines. The author suggested using Revell Contacta model glue to secure the knots in place (at about 8:30 in the link below). Does that sound right? I thought it was for plastic. By the way, this is my first post on this site. Thanks, Univ of Saigon 68

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.
