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.

Hello,
Firstly sorry for my English. I am not perfect in English.
I build RC amerigo vespucci model ship.
Thats my first modelship. I work on it very detailed. Which part i dont like, i retry to fix it.
Plan was from a carton ship and i edited for RC models.
I started in 2015 and build main ship about 5 months and i didnt continue building.
I stay home for 3 weeks so i started again by building the deck.
All parts (woods paints etc) are the high quality. (For 5 years there is no disruption of woods and paints. Only some scratches due to hitting)
Main wood part was from Birch wood which is good resistant to water after Teak wood.
I cannot tell everything in English. Only the main things because i dont know many terms in english.
I used a Brush engine 12V
Power supply is 12V 7Ah battery (~2.2kilograms)
ESC has a fan to cool.
It has a sail servo to open and close sails.
It has a servo to open lights from little windows.
Height is about 101 cm
Widht is 17 cm at most
Weight i didnt measure this but its fine with water level. I guess its near 8 kilograms with battery.
Last week i started to build main deck floor. Its from rose tree.
Battery stand and main buttons stand will be able to open after use to change battery if needed in years.
I have othere forum in my language that i share my build experience from zero to this day. If someone is interested i can send the link to show images. Its not true to give link here.
Btw its my first model ship i build from 0.
I made many mistakes to be a good one for example i painted with acrylic paint at first. Then i didnt like it and i removed all old paint for a week. Now i know things how to do. Kind of expert
