    Don't know of suppliers here who can provide pre-cut small timber, but two very good people if you can mill your own are Anagote of Marrickville and Trend Timbers out at McGraths Hill. The bloke at Anagote is a wood fanatic and unbelievably helpful if you catch him at a time when he's not too busy. Trend have the advantage of having a section where they sell offcuts and small pieces for wood turners. By the way, just for the curious; when they were setting up Anagote they were looking for a name and asked their kids what they should call the company.

    I think I'd be using appropriately coloured thread for the wire ropes, Pat. A mid grey might be about right. John

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.
