    The 3 builds are all old, and not that informative about the quality of the kits. Think I'm most likely are going to aim for the Mantua kit, as I think it have the best looking deck of the 2 kits.

    Not much feedback...

    Hey all, I have set my eyes in Gorch Foch as my 2nd ship - and hopefully for my Christmas gift from the wife. However there are 2 models out there, either from Mantua or Occre. From other reviews of the manufacturers, it seems that the wood quality of Occre lacks a bit. But what about Mantua, how are they? And who makes the overall better instructions? The price for the kits are somewhat close, just that the Mantua kit comes without sails. /Henrik

    Hi Dimitris, Thank you for your reply - I really enjoy to follow your build. It will not be my first ship, I just like to plan ahead. I think I have settled for the Marie Jeanne from AL as my first build.

    Hi all, I have been lurking around this forum for a while now. In the past I have started a few builds, but always had trouble when I came to the planking. But after I found this forum, I think I would manage with a new kit. I will start with a smaller set from most likely Artesania, but my goal is one the naval training ships. But which set should I go for; Which set have the best plans? Best fit? Best components? I'm looking for the a build around 100cm long, but there are more manufacturers making the same ship. The ships i primarily have been looking at are; Skoleskibet Denmark by Billing Boats, Gorch Foch and Amerigo Vespucci. My budget is around 350-400€. Hope that I can get some feedback on which set to choose. Kind regards Henrik

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.
