Good Day. I am currently immersed in the construction of the Billings Boats Andrea Gail (608) boat, foreseeing the day when I'll need another project. I have an R/C racing boat that can provide most of the operating gear, at least I hope that is feasible. What I would prefer is a model of a British Commonwealth naval ship that I can buil as R/C, but those appear to be unavailable (at least in the size /scale that I seek. Perhaps most importantly for me is a kit that doesn't have to be planked. (I ain't sure that I've got enough years left to tackle yet another of those.As a Canadian, I'm not much interested in USN ships, but nonetheless find myself more and more curious of the USS WHITEHALL kit by Dumas. Anyone have any thoughts on this fantasy of mine? Is the idea feasible and/ or worth following up on? I shoul add that I'm an old, largely "poor", ex sailor and servant of he Queen who wants something relatively simple/" quick" to build, without being "cheesy. LHS support here in the great white Norh is pretty much unheard of, I rely on mail order but have the patience of a welfare recipient in a waiting line (okay, I have NO patience), lol). (Something along the lines of " Intermediate skill" would be ideal

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.
