    Thank you both very much! Very very big help and I will use all these resources. Im very sorry for the delay - I kept checking back and did not see any replies but today I just got an email saying there were replies! Anyway, I do appreciate this. Let me digest it, as there is quite a bit here. Originally I was thinking Boxwood, but I discovered that it was not that easy to find and am now considering other woods. Ill review all this and let you know if I have any other questions. But I will go and intro myself and follow your suggestions...

    Hello, first time posting to this forum and Im sure everyone is rolling their eyes, ha ha. I have built one model kit J Class sailboat and am now building a replica by scratch. How do I determine how much plank to order? I guess I could calculate the rough area, then divide by the length/width of the planks, but with the curvy nature of the hull, the area is not so straight forward. The model is 48" long, 10" wide. I was going to use Boxwood, but any other suggestions are appreciated

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.
