    Honestly, I feel a bit old as well. I was born in 2004,

    Ye gad's, I must be real ancient of days!🤫 born pre-Pearl Harbor.  I remember Challenger very vividly.  Also remember the capsule cockpit fire that killed 3 astronauts on the launch pad. 

    Update : Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee—died in a fire during a launch rehearsal test for the Apollo 1 mission January 1967.

    Rocket 1888 by Jack12477 - FINISHED - 1:24 scale - 50' Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht

    As an update : the model of the ice yacht Rocket now resides with my oldest daughter at her home near Lake Erie in Western New York. She told me this past summer that of all the models I built this one was her favorite and asked if she could have it when I was ready to part with it.  After 5 years of sitting on a shelf in the spare bedroom, I decided it needed a new home.

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.
