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.

I just wanted to tell you that I've spent all mornng reading your fascinating posts regarding the Swift Virginia pilot boat, and I am simply amazed. Your posts are incredibly detailed. They are filled with quite a bit of humor as well as many helpful hints and downright essential bits of model shipbuilding lore. Before I began reading, I thught foolishly that I knew a lot about model shipbuilding. I was wrong. I learned an awful lot about ship construction from your posts. You are a great teacher, and I will certainly take away a great deal of information to use on my future modelling efforts. Thank you, thank you for all your patience and hard work. Please continue, or my own Swift boat will never be finished. --Tom
