    Hi, I have been building models of all kinds since before WW2 & at nearly 89 I still enjoy doing it. I spend a lot of time building all types. I have built 6 train layouts since 1955, a small 4'x8' to later 10'x18'. all were fully detailed. Most all my trains were old time narrow & standard gauge geared locos. I build all types of fighter planes as I served in a post war fighter sqd. I have built a lot of wood sailing ship models & now do them all in plastic. I do alot of WW2 subs, carriers, & Battleships as my brother was in combat in WW2 & was on the USS Indiana.

                  I build all kinds of car,  Here are a few05-DSCN7039-001.jpgbut mostly race cars of all types as I have been going to races since my first in 1936. Nascar & Indy are my favorites , but I love & build a lot of Ferraris. Our home is full of built models of all types. Aside from 40 years designing & building homes models have taken most of my spare time. That is just a start I am just starting on Popeyes General Loco. I have been on ships for the last 3 or 4 years     Gene

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.
