    Hello Ron!

    I too am a member of Model Shipwrights of Western NY. Sam and I have been conversing about you over the holidays and I indicated that I would also try to reach out to you. His last reminder prompted this note. I am on MSW under the "handle" of Thistle17. I have always loved that day - sailer/racer almost had an opportunity to restore an original wooden one but didn't act fast enough on her. I now look back and muse "What was I thinking?"! I was then diverted from restoring a 17' Chris Craft Sportsman that I stumbled on at Cape Cod. Again I was pulled away from a head long plunge and lots of $$$$$ by one who knows better than me. Any ways I am now relegated to the work bench building models. Its safer and less expensive.

     

    I am working on the Syren Cheerful and Winchelsea. I too have a MS model of Niagara sitting on the shelf waiting for ts turn. I might mention that one of our members has many pictures of her as he too has built this model. I think I can reach out to him to see if they are captured electronically.

     

    In the mean time we invite you to join us this season when we resume formal gathering starting in March. If you give me your e-mail address I can copy you on minutes and agendas. Also do visit our web site for past endeavors modelshipwrightguildwny.org.

      Thanks for the note. I look forward to meeting and discussing the art of model building. I started building a few years ago when I retired and found I actually I had time to do something other than work. The Niagara is my third project, the last was the Baltimore, which took me over two years to complete.

      My e-mail address is ronkamin@gmail.com.

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.
