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.

It is new kit time of year I am starting on an ancient Egyptian ship from Amati. After looking around a few kits I found this one interesting as it is a bit different and appeals to my love of ancient history. It is modelled after some ships from a Pharaohs tomb wall and other historical information one of the oldest ships we have good descriptions for at about 2000 BC. I cannot speak to the accuracy but I find this intriguing.
Looking through some of the details a the boat is mostly held together with a lot of rope. So my knot work should (hopefully) improve.
First off I will start with the unboxing:
The kit is nicely boxed. and the instructions have a lot of well put together diagrams from the first view. Also that a lot of rope!
Going to make a start on the frame later.
