Hello friends,

I am a retired Otolaryngology Surgeon since 2017 and residing in Bodrum, Turkey. Bodrum locateted in southwest part of Turkey , a worldwide well known holiday resort and I live here for the very best part of the year. January and February are spent in Ankara, the capital, as winter conditions need it.
I am 70 years old, married and have a son of 38 years. 
Although my history of scale modelling dates back to early 80’s , I was able to concentrate on the hobby only for the last 6 or 7 years due to very busy professional life. 
Actually I am not a recent member and a member since 2018. Sorry for the late introduction.

I am adding a photo of mine taken in front of some finished works of mine, taken in Bodrum residence.

I am sorry if there are any  mistakes in my post as English is not my native language.

Best regards to all0AEBC15F-F7F8-4804-87F0-409EDF67A594.jpeg.3a896433563cad9469609f293d460bd2.jpeg

Welcome to MSW. I do envy you living in Bodrum, with easy access to the underwater archaeology museum, with the Serçe Limanı "glass wreck".

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.
