    A photo-table is highly recommended, they come in various sizes and qualities. Choose a table that has an acrylic flexible top. Blue or green back drop paper will work amazingly if you like to post-edit picture and insert a background. The sweep is important as it will eliminate shadows, and using in-direct backlight your model will certainly stand out. See this one

    Richard, go into your setting and change from color to b/w. I am an avid pro-amateur photographer (40 years experience), and considering going back to regular analog camera along using digital. I still have my equipment except the darkroom items.

    Chris, with that type of single piece hull you can convert her to an R/C ship. There's plenty of space inside for all the equipment.

    400 dollars and 48 inches long! 1600 parts.... That will be a showcase kit!

    I have a 3d printer and with my brand there is attachment for laser engraving. Some guys has even been able to cut card stock with the 3W laser head.

The bed for 3d printing is heated has a working temperature from 55°C to 80°C depending of material. Next the extruder head has even a higher temperature. Best thing you can do is learn the drafting of components and send the files to a company for laser cuttin

    If used in the movie back to the future everything would make sense. I was lost after his first sentence. 😂🤣

    The desktop laser machines are not meant for cutting (maybe very thin veneer) but mostly for used for engraving. Laser cutter has a steep learning curve. In order to get a good "cutting" laser you will find ones starting at 2400 dollars. Anything below 1000 will not hold up for what we are doing. Ask Chuck what he is using. He certainly know the laser cutter. You need a good vector based program something like Corel Draw, which has a steeper learning curve. I do have a suggestion, search if you have a MakerSpace in your area, they will certainly have a

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.
