    Modeler for many years, mostly plastic and model railways.  I did my first wooden kit, the Dutch Botter from Artesania Latina when I was about 18....never finished it.  I was at the time really not confortable in working with wood. After so many years I have now the will to start a new modeling journey with wood kits. My goal is to build is to go step by step with a first model that I can feel excited about.  Ultimately I would want to build a Portuguese ship from the 18th century,  most likely a Corvette (Andorinha comes to mind) a Frigate (Rainha dos Anjos comes to mind), or if I can get there, building the flagship second rate ship of the line, the 90 cannon Principe Real .  

     

    Currently I am preparing my first built,  the Zulu from Vanguard Models.

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.
