    Hello all, Retired 66 year old that is looking to get into modelling, particularly wooden boats. Like most people my age a spent lots of time in my youth building plastic airplane and building Meccano cranes. Unfortunately I come across this site and read the article "A Cautionary Tale" that listed recommended boats for a newcomer to late. My wife got me a Billings Boat "Renown" (off my Christmas list) for Christmas. This model was chosen because it was supposed to be for beginners. Having started the model I can concur that the instructions are crap and the quality is a lot to be desired. For its faults though this kit is a way into fault finding and model wooden boat building, just got decipher the plans. Looking forward to actively participating in these forums. Tony

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.
