    Has anybody ever built an OCCRE model ship kit?  If so, how do you rate?  Thanks!!

      Depends what you are looking for.  My first model was Occre’s HMS Beagle and it was a great first kit for me.    The planking is simplified, so if planking the way a real ship was planked is important to you it might not be right for you.  For me, I would have failed at planking the real way on my first ship, so it was a good fit.  I can’t speak to there more advanced kits, but you are a beginner, there are a lot of build logs for the Beagle and Polaris that you can check out on the site.

    I'm scratch building Emma C. Berry from Lankford's plans for Model Shipways. I'm up to the point of building the windlass and gotten a treasure trove of good info from the Chicago area clubs but any further info, especially pictures, would be gratefully received. Thanks!

About the NRG

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.
