    Greetings, My name is Ralph Cooper and I am a Member of the Merrimac Valley Ship Modeller's Club in Newburyport Mass. I consider myself a Neophyte builder with SO MUCH to learn. I have built 10 models of increasing complexity until I just finished the HMS Bellona, a 3rd rate ship of the line that took me 2 years, 2 months, and 1850 hours. What I have learned so far is that I know nothing in comparison with some of the members of the club that have been doing this for a lifetime. To me, compared with some of the excellent work they produce, my work is rough but I want to get better. I have been at it only about 7 years and all I have really learned is that I have everything to learn, so finding a site such as this is a goldmine of info along with the experience of the members of the Merrimac club. I look forward to tapping into this treasure trove IMG_1942.MOV here to continue to build my skills as far as possible. Included is a short film of the Bellona, hope you can't see all the little mistakes and rough areas!

    Greetings. I am also building the kit and wonder if anyone out there is familiar with the plans. i can’t seem to figure out what the numbers in circles mean (see photo). I suspect they have something to do with rigging? Any ideas?

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.
