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.

G'day all,
Have posted here ages ago, however all appears to be gone now.
OK, first up I must fess up to not building this one 🙄
In my defence I'd say due to the fact I still haven't finished by little scratch built ship, I had to have a display piece to soothe the anxieties 😀
So she stands about 1.5m high overall....but needs a really good clean and rigging replaced here and there.
I wondering the best way to clean the sails? Not sure of the exact material, though it feels a little stiff and has a slight sheen.
Just bung them in the washing machine or soak...thinking if I use bleach they come out too white?
Hope to also ask advice regarding correct rigging etc as it doesn't look quite right to me.
