    Thanks for the welcome! I've had a good look about their website on your recommendation, they've got some great kits from an interesting little company. I'll have a look at building the Pickle sometime soon.

    Hello all, and thanks for this wonderful resource! I've been lurking this site for a little while so it is time to say 'hello' and contribute in a small way. Before he passed on, a good family friend scratch built wooden ships, a great number of them I am told. I remember as a wee lad standing next to his model of the Victory, I've no idea of the scale but it was as tall as me. Something had to inspire me, guess that was it. I'm looking at going back to building plastic stuff after a 15 year break, hopefully building up to my own giant wooden Ship of the Line some years off yet. I'm a newly qualified Officer of the Watch in the British Merchant Navy. I had a varied cadetship serving on a modern and 1980's cruise ship, a suction dredger and a small handy size container ship. I'm a Deckie, so I only have a little in depth knowledge of the Ginger Beers greasy parts, but I spent a month working in the engine room (very glad I chose the Deck side) so I know my way around at least. I don't promise to bring 25 years experience, but the Secretary of State for Transport says I've passed my driving test at least. If anyone has any questions about modern navigation, how to conn a ship or ship/cargo operations then please fire away! Cheers!

    Trinity House maintains lighthouses and navigation buoyage throughout the UK. A quick Google has found a load of prints of plans in their shop. Good for a general overview maybe? https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/shop/lighthouse-prints

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.
