    Hi Hugh, Welcome to MSW. I have purchased two Artesania Latina kits and in my experience you will need to check were the kit has been manufacured. If it is made in Spain the quality is OK. My experience with second kit is an Artesania Latina made by their subsidiary in Hong Kong and the quality is horrible!! Good luck. Renato

    Hello Keith, and welcome to MSW. I am 72 and still enjoying building wooden ship models. The only difficulty that I have is that In Cape Town we don't have any winter therefore building during the 7 months of summer is very challenging. More then often i have to stop working on the model as it is too hot. Cape Town is running out of water. Renato.

    Welcome. Some kits manufacturers seems to have cut down in cost accept for the top of the range like Caldercraft or Amati. My experience is only based with two models both from Artesania Latina. The model made made in Spain was OK, however their Elite series model made in Hong Kong the quality was substandard. The drawings contradict the instructions and the quality control is shocking!! Some parts are over supplied while other parts are under supplied. AL response is good, although it takes 3/6 weeks to receive parts. Good hunting!! Regards. Renato

    In my early teen a was very frustrated in trying to play the saxophone that eventually i decided that that was not for me. One day my late father close friend told me that is should try to play the clarinet first and then once i have mastered the clarinet then I should learn how to play the saxophone. He was spot on !! After that playing the saxophone was very easy. Good luck. Renato

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.
