    Rob, if you have plans of how to do certain things, you should stick with it. This is a great idea, card stock is also much more flexible.

    Eric, If they were down by half last Saturday, and today probably below 80, I would gestimate somewhere around 500 issues. Just a guess!

    Mine should be arriving soon, ordered about a week ago! Thanks for a nice preview of the calendar.

    Mike, I went to HobbyTown the other day, and looked into Tamyia models and Trumpeter. My oh my, has Tamyia changed their quality to much better.
  25. Nirvana
    I clicked on the link and got the sale pop-up on their website. Calipers of high grade!
  26. Nirvana
    Rob, your progress is fantastic. At this scale some details are hard to create, you have done a great job!
  27. Nirvana
    Cap'n Snack, Warm . The kit you have chosen seems like a very nice kit including the PE. At 75 dollars and free shipping from Amazon it seems to be a nice deal.
  28. Nirvana
    Henke, that is very beautiful coppering work you have done. Doesn't it feel good to be back at the yard?
  29. Nirvana
    Daniel, a big and warm welcome to MSW. Having the experience of building plastic kits are very helpful as you already have the eye for details. Building a wooden model is different since there are hardly any pre-made parts. However the choice with Polaris is a great start to give you all needed experience to move on. I am looking forward to your build log. Welcome to MSW!

    Time to order some "software" to create my rope!
  31. Nirvana
    And for me this little kit showed up today. Chucks' Rope Rocket! When opening up the package I was hit by a very pleasant scent - Cherry! I certainly like the design and looking forward to put this together, it's a very simple kit. Chuck, one thing you have forgotten to add while laser burning the cherry is a copyright imprint. Putting my nose to the cherry wood another pleasant scent emerged - the smell of tar -the type used on boats between planking or while creating ropes!? This should be a quick build, question though: I love the

    Nice backbone structure of the frames.
  33. Nirvana
    The Terror is a magnificent ship, I will follow that build along as well. Nice finish of Lady Nelson.
  34. Nirvana
    Nice catch, even though you had made a nice stove already. But there is nothing more we like to do, but to do it again.😄

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.
