    Morning all, I have a question for my friends - I plan to glue down the MDF parts of the farm to the Plastic base of my display case (I think its Acrylic or possibly Perspex) what would be the best glue to use I have some Gorilla PVA, Gorilla Suer Glue and that AMMO Acrylic glue that's strong on plastics and clear/PE. Any thoughts idea's please? OC.

    Hiya Denis - the Allies formed squares to defend them selves against the French Horse charges, they were very effective that way as a Four/Five man wall was a real threat to the French on Hourseback. OC.

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.
