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.

Dave this is absolutely an excellent build-log and the finished model is fantastic!! I really admire what you have accomplished...so much so that I visited the
Lauck Street Shipyard site and found that Bob's kits are priced @ $600.00!!! Whoa...way to much for this retiree.
I parted with my Lauck 'Kingfisher' retirement kit to a fellow site member a while back, but remember that Bob's kit included a fantastic set of plans that a scratch builder could duplicate every piece of the kit with. Does the 'Patrick Henry' kit also include a good set of plans similar to Bob's 'Kingfisher'?
If it does...I would be very interested in buying the plan set you are done with. I have the tools,wood,skill and tons of time to do a scratch build if I can
manage to get a good plan set.
I will enjoy watching your Fair American build as it progresses.
