Hello Everyone I'm a scratchbuilder, retired and living in southern Ontario, Canada. I scratch models of mostly racing cars from my youth (think Fangio), a steam locomotive and several half hulls of modern sailing vessels owned by myself and friends. The most challenging model after the steam engine was a full-hulled model of a life-long friend's own Trojan 36 sport fisherman. This was completed from my own home made plans and from taking literally hundreds of photographs aboard the boat. I don't know if modern vessels have much interest here as I see mostly ships of a historic nature. Anyway, I have a goodly number of photos of the build (which I made into a nice book for my friend) and of the completed model and I'd be happy to share them if they are considered appropriate. Cheers Frank Smart

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.
