tlevine Posted October 9, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 9, 2019 The NRG is now offering the latest in its series of educational tools for the ship modeler: the Half Hull Planking Project. The purpose of this Project is to teach modelers how to plank a hull using spiling techniques. Even a novice should have no trouble learning this technique with the materials and instructions provided. The tools required for completion of this kit are inexpensive; even a Dremel is optional. The price for the kit is $52 for NRG members and $65 for MSW members. The kit will include everything required to build the kit except the building board. The manual will be available as a download. If you are interested , please contact the NRG office at info@thenauticalresearchguild.org. You can follow the construction here: Canute, mtaylor, ferretmary1 and 2 others 5 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: NRG Rigging Project Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.

The final shipping weight was a bit less than earlier calculations so we have been able to reduce the US shipping to $10.00. Unfortunately the weight difference doesn't affect non US shipments. We will refund the $5.00 for those who paid the higher US shipping. The shipping date has been moved up to starting 10-16-19.

bruce d Posted October 13, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 13, 2019 Thanks Kurt. Do you know offhand what service you will use for UK orders? My interest is to make a 'best-guess' for delivery date (for domestic reasons). Looking forward to it. bruce mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretmary1 Posted October 13, 2019 Share #8 Posted October 13, 2019 Bruce - We will be using the US Postal service and sending it by 1st class mail. I know it's more expensive that parcel post, but we want to make sure it gets there, and it's still cheaper than Fed-Ex or DHL.

ferretmary1 Posted October 13, 2019 Share #9 Posted October 13, 2019 For US purchasers who have already paid for their kit, your refund will be issued once we have mailed out the kits, which should be in a few days. Thank you for your patience. If you still have a PayPal request pending, I will cancel it and issue you a new one with the lower rate.

Edited just now by kurtvd19 PLEASE HELP US WHEN ORDERING Please help make it easier on the office as we are finishing the conference registration process along with the usual membership renewals, etc. by providing the following information when emailing the office about purchasing a kit. We are getting emails saying “I want to buy the planking kit” without a name or address or how you want to pay. This makes it necessary to send an email asking for this information. Also, the prices are listed here, please don’t email the office asking how much the kit is or how much the shipping is. If you want a PayPal Invoice sent, we need to know your name and PayPal address. We also need your complete name and mailing address in the email – please don’t make Mary send emails asking for this information. If you are using a credit card the best way to order is by calling the office. Or by email, please provide the name on the card, your name and address and the card number and expiration date and security # off the back side. Feel free to send the card details in a separate email. Thanks mtaylor, Canute and VTHokiEE 3 Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.

kurtvd19 Posted October 14, 2019 Share #12 Posted October 14, 2019 We are mailing the first 6 kits today. A bunch more are ready but pending payment. The office sends tracking numbers when kits are shipped. As the PDF instruction manual isn't yet posted for download it will also be emailed.

ferretmary1 Posted October 14, 2019 Share #13 Posted October 14, 2019 If emailing your credit card info, I usually recommend sending the first 8 numbers in one email, the second 8 numbers in a second email and the expiry and security number in a third email. It is more secure that way. Calling it in is even more secure, but since we are not open 24/7 we do our best to accommodate our customers.

ferretmary1 Posted October 14, 2019 Share #14 Posted October 14, 2019 I forgot to mention that we will send emails out to everyone who orders a kit with your tracking information. Once it is up on our web store, that will be automated, but for now I will send them out personally.
