Grace & Peace

Six-masted schooner, based on the kit from Bluejacket, Inc. The model will be suspended in the nave of a New York church as a "Votive" model. Votive models are typical in many European churches of various faiths, but are especially prevalent in the Protestant Northern European countries. It is approximately 6 feet long and has 21 working sails.

You should feel honored to have your work displayed like this in a church.  Very impressive.

Thank You, much appreciated.

I do feel honored, especially to be a part of a celebration of the Pastor's wonderful legacy of care to his community. A few years ago and after visiting churches in Scandinavia, the Pastor asked me if I could create a "votive nave model ship." I had similar experiences in Europe and had some knowledge about the subject so I became interested, and committed.

I admit that it is a good feeling to know that others might feel the positivity the model represents, that it helps them navigate their life's journey - the metaphor of navigating one's spiritual existence by their faith.

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.
