         Glad to see you back modeling again. Takes awhile to get back to normal. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    Hi  Andrew. My Bowdoin is sitting in dry dock as I am waiting to regain full use of my right hand. I have started the rigging

    when I was sidelined. Hope to be back at it soon. My son who is in the Coast Guard just did the inspection of the Bowdoin

    and came up with some fine pictures.

    Wish you the best on your build and will be following along.

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.
