Hi Workboats, thank you for your suggestion, I actually did that this week and joined the NRG and should receive my first issue soon. I was also contacted by a forum member and will purchase a big collection of back issues as well. This forum is populated by very generous members who are eager and willing to help a newbie in the pursuit of this hobby. I am very happy I joined! Thank you all.Go to www.thenrg.org and join to receive their excellent quarterly publication titled "The Journal". And your membership will also give you access to back issues of "Ships In Scale".
