Hello, modelers around the world!
 

I am a new builder from a small and beautiful country - Lithuania. Looking forward to this hobby as it seems calming and interesting, especially for long and dark evenings that are right around the corner in autumn.

 

Some time ago I bought my first ship model kit - Polaris by Occre. I have started building it, but then, of course, the lack of time kicked in. Now I feel that I have more time, also my big new work table is on the way to my house, so I want to continue my build. I have photos from the beginning of the building and also I have lots of questions so I am going to start the build log. Hope to receive the feedback!

Welcome.

    One great thing about this hobby and MSW is being able to share with fellow enthusiasts from all over the world.  Wouldn't it be nice if the world were all just one big happy group like it is here?  Maybe there's hope.

It would be super nice! I remember good old days I was playing Magic: the gathering in 2006-2008 and there was a Lithuanian forum and community of this game. It was a nice way to communicate in the forum with like-minded people, but nowadays social networks, like Facebook or Instagram, are filled with toxicity and hate. This is why a forum feels nostalgic for me.

Lithuanians love the Baltic Sea. Did you get a chance to visit Lithuania?

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 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.
