    Looking for someone that can model a Naval Ship I served on so I can 3d print the file(s). If interested in chatting let me know and I'll fill you in on all the details and share what info I have on the ship. Hope this is the right spot to post this Dave.

    What other manufactures make tools for shipbuilding or other hobbies? I know of Dispaie and Tamiya but looking for other quality makers. Tia Dave

    Thanks for the reply. Have you seen this plastic welding tip and do you think it would work for plank bending? I know it is flat but it is small enough to use in a bending jig/form It is only around 7 USD vs the 40USD.

    I did check those kits out as well as the other one in the series. I almost purchased them but, the Polaris won out.

    Just wanted to say hello and mention I am starting my second ship after an uncompleted first attempt (1847 Harvey - Artesania Latina). This new ship is the Polaris from Occre and I will be making a build log here. My goal is to actually complete this ship then go back and finish the Harvey after I get some more experience. I'll be researching here and other sources as well as asking many questions to clear things up. I'm 62 and have built quite a few plastic models over the years (and other things) since I was a young boy but, now I am retired I really want to up my skills and focus on wood models. My biggest hurdle will be getting over my OCD of making things perfect which has caused me to fail completing projects in the past. Advice is always welcomed Dave Cox - Northern California

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.
