Duchess of Kingston - Vanguard, 1:64

This is a fairly straight out of the box build of the Vanguard Duchess of Kingston yacht model, although I did replace most of the line with rope that I made.

Billing Boats Half Moon 1:40 by Usedtosail

This is the tenth wooden model ship I have built over about 13 years. This is the first 17th century ship I have built, the first with full square sails, the first where I had all of the rope on the model, and the first with crowsfeet and bowlines.

Chris Craft 1938 27’ Triple Cockpit Barrel Back by usedtosail - Dumas - 1/24

This is my first powerboat model build. I did a bit of kit bashing like making my own propeller and rudder from brass, new decals, and flags. It was a fun project.

Beagle - Mamoli

A kit bashed version of the Beagle, started from the Mamoli kit, based on the Anatomy of the Ship Beagle book. The hull could be much closer to the book, but the rest is as close as I could get it.

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.
