Nautical Research Guild

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.

you are not wrong about badly fitting bulkheads, I experienced this when I built the artesania latina hms surprise also my keel was badly warped, I have read some accounts of people who were building the same ship I have and most said they had problems with the stern, this was the first thing I checked and I found that the so called laser cut parts did not follow the ships line, after checking the drawings I found that from the end of the midship rail the upper hull planking tapers up and is around 5mm higher than the frames allow for because the rail capping on the stern should be almost level with the end of the side rail capping, so if the side are not tapered up the stern as supplied is far too high, and that was just one of the many things I found, when I get a chance I will upload my build log and photo's.
