Hi everybody.  I'm actually restoring a 1957, 17 foot Higgins Sport Speedster, which is a plywood boat.  I have forgotten exactly how I found MSW, but I like model ships too.  I hope to stick around and learn some things.  And, I might as well be truthful, I want to get 25 posts under my belt so I can offer something for sale in the classified section.  But I hope to stick around afterwards too.

Welcome to MSW.   I'd suggest opening a log in the Shore Leave area as "Restoration".   We'd love to see it. 

 

We do have quite a few members in Missouri so you might add your location to your profile so it appears under your profile photo/image and shows up in your posts.

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.
