NRG's Original Shop Notes Reprinted

[kurtvd19]

The original Ship Modeler’s Shop Notes first published by the NRG in 1979 and out of print for several years is being reprinted and will be ready for sale by early April.

The original Ship Modeler’s Shop Notes contains “Shop Notes” and some longer articles from the first 25 years, Volume 1 to Volume 25, (1980) of the quarterly Nautical Research Journal.  This book has been described as a book that ship modeler’s must have. 

This is a completely separate book from Ship Modeler’s Shop Notes II published in 2009 – SN2 covers Volumes 26 – 50 (1981-2005).  If you have Shop Notes II we are sure you will want to add the original to your library and if you don’t have either, now is the time to get both.  

Be sure to contact the office for the member’s discount code that will save you $5.00 off the list price.  Save on shipping when you order both Shop Notes (1 & 2).  Place your order through the NRG office and pay only one shipping fee of $6 for shipping both copies (US only & to the same address only!).

When the books are in stock we will announce they are available for purchase.

I have to echo and reinforce Kurt's recommendation for both editions.  They aren't a be-all and end-all of model building, but there's tons of stuff in each volume, organized in sections for ease of reference, and they are spiral-bound so they open flat for ease of use in the shop where you may have glunk on your hands and don't want to have to hold a book open.
