Hi everyone, I am a new member but I have been lurking for a while, getting inspired by all the amazing builds on this site! While I have very limited experience with model ship building, having only completed Artesania Latinas New England Whaling Boat kit as a kind of trial (it went ok), I have been assembling and painting miniatures for over 20 years and have other craft hobbies like bookbinding, so I am not totally new to alot of the techniques I see used in all the fine build logs on this forum! And this is exactly what got ne interested; I love the finished look af a sailing ship - they are just very aesthetic to me - and I am really intrigued by the construction process. I know next to nothing about actual sailing ships, but I guess that will come in time! Having seen the amazing kis from Vanguard Models, I decided to start with HMS Flirt. I will be opening a build log for this soon! As I have a full time job, two small kids and other hobbies, progress is likely to be slow at times and come in 'sprints', but that is how it has to be for now 😉 . Cheers from Denmark, and I'll see you around the forum! TJM

Hi, My name is Anja and I started recently with modelshipbuilding. I do have experience with woodworking and architecture models, but a wooden ship is something else. I got a simple kit from China the "Halcon" scale 1:100. There are no real Plans, in fact just some laser cut boards. So I begun researching topsail schooners and found this forum and learned already a lot. This is the model so far, made already some mistakes, corrected some, have to live with the rest and have a lot of fun.

New to this, I thought I would buy the HMS VICTORY from Wish it's only £30, looks like it is a Chinese kit so quality unknown, but I thought a good starting place as I can make mistakes and learn while not ruining an expensive kit. I am Jeff any advice would be great

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.
