Hello, gentlemen!

 

Sorry I didn't notice this topic earlier, but now that I've found it, I didn’t want to ignore it.

 

Some of us have already met—I'm the proud owner of Lady Nelson, a ship I was inspired to build mainly due to your posts. I'm not aiming to become a master like you (I've been working in the IT industry for the last 30 years, so my relationship with the offline world is a bit complicated), but I find a lot of pleasure in reading your stories and viewing photos of your beautiful ships.

 

I'm a big fan of the Netherlands (esp. the House of Orange). Delft is the best place in the world, followed by Leiden, Katwijk aan Zee, and Maastricht. That's an axiom, so no arguments, please! However, if you don't love crowds and appreciate brutal Nordic beauty, living in Espoo is a bit more comfortable. 

 

I have great respect for your serious approach to history, naval technique, attention to detail, and the friendly atmosphere here.

 

Thank you, gentlemen! And happy building!

 

Glory to Ukraine, Karjala takaisin, Rule Britannia, God Bless America, Oranje boven and Polska strong!

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.
