About Me

I started my ship building (scratch) activities about 20 years ago when I accidentaly came about a box containing all af Chapman Mercatoria prints in A3+ size sheets at a shop for old books. This fired my interest in historical ship Building technology and naval history of Europe, Asia and the Americas.  10 years ago I started my scratch build of English cutter No.6 on Plan LX.  Due to job requirements with many and long periods of absence from home I 've been able to follow this project very seldomly only so that I've completed the hull (POB) only.

Being a sexagenarian I am about to retire next year; I presently acquire tools and machinery to equip my workshop by end 2019. Then I will work intensively and regularly on ship modelling tasks. I want to plunge into CAD construction and learn this technology completely new to me, grown up in the analogue era. 😉

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.
