    For some reason I find while working on one build I get inspired to start another and sometimes even 3 at a time. I started a small scratch build about 3 years ago, put it aside and just finished it a few months ago. It was the corel half moon where I took the plans and shrunk down the size in half. I call it the half halfmoon I finished last year as a desktop model

    Thanks, usually a kit this small will only take 2 - 3 weeks to complete for me if I'm only working on it and not other builds at the same time, I can get back to my yacht America build now which I started last month.

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.
