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.
warping metal castings - moved by moderator

The Mamoli Santa Maria ship model kit contains two metal castings that are to be placed on the ship sides in the rear near the upper deck. These casting are flat. However, the area where they are to be glued to the ship is slightly concave. To have these castings sit flat against the ship's sides will require that they be warped to fit - see photo. How can these castings be slightly warped without cracking?
