    Rowan, I'm happy that others gives you an answer where you can find wood. I wanted to say that we have a few modelshops in the neighbourhood but I think that's a little bit to far for you..... The other side of the world !!!!!!! Then it's gonna be expensive wood !

    Thanks Denis and Nigel, @ Denis, Every day is my birthday Every day I get one day older.....so I can give me myself a present when I want to But the titel Master builder ??????? At the moment I'm more an apprentice ! When I look at your build or that from others....I have still a lot to learn ! For example....being patient ! I want to rush things and then the moderator in the house is giving me comment and I have to re-do things ! Never lives together with a moderator !!!!!!! I have to because I love her !!!! @ Nigel, Thanks for the good words ! Finishing can still take a while but slowly I get there. And then for your question..... I don't know yet what I'm gonna do when the Fonz is finished. First finishing the Aggy and then to another build or doing again 2 builds at the same time. I know all ready what my next build is gonna be. But I keep that in the fridge for a while

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.
