  4. USS TRUTTA SS 421

    USS TRUTTA as she appeared at the end of WWII and as she appeared as a converted GUPPY Class. The two models are in a single case one atop the other on separate mirror shelves. I based the hull on the old LIONFISH kit. It had the correct shape but that was about all it had.

  5. Stove by a Whale! Sinking of the ESSEX 1820

    This was made from a broken model of the little Academy Whale ship. The base is two inches round. I made my own photo etch parts for this as a test. The work here is my second in a series of whaling ship dioramas.

  11. USS George C. Marshall

    Last of the 41 for Freedom Class Ballistic Missile Submarines. Marshall was a 640 Class SSBN. The need for this class came from the United States development of late modifications of Poseidon Missile system, and then to the Trident 1 these new missile systems were larger and heavier. The goal not achieved until the mid 80s was to have a system capable of covering targets while the boats could remain in home port. This eliminated the need for costly facilities in Holyloch and other areas outside of the US

  13. SSN 700 Bottle with working Lighthouse

    Here is another version of my working lighthouse in a bottle. Made some improvements. The light flashes in time with the real lighthouse. I used my new photo etch skill to detail the light tower.

  14. Surprise Box

    Three tiny models used to create a unique box. Models are of maple, bass, steel, and brass. Nameplates are my own photo etch as is the US Submarine insignia.

    The submarine is of the 637 class attack submarine. I served on USS RAY SSN 653 of the same class. The ship is a Bermuda sloop. I hope you enjoy this. It took 18 hours of build time.

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.
