Welcome Bruce!!!!

Before jumping into a build be sure to spend a few days or more researching here at MSW.  You will get a good idea of what is involved with scratch building, kit building, or kit bashing.  There are fantastic tutorials and articles on most every aspect of a build in the articles data base here.   Due diligence is the key before spending your hard earned money.   With 40,000 members there is what probably amounts to close to a million years of experience here at MSW to be shared with you if your own research is not getting you some of the answers you are seeking before jumping into a specific project.

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.
