    I joined this site some while ago. I have been building 1/4 scale HMS Southampton for 5 years - sometimes putting away for months as other pastimes catch my interest. Southampton was designed by same guy as Niger class, but one year earlier. Niger incorporated changes to Southampton but with identical dimensions and weaponry. Sheets of 1/4 scale admiralty plans are available for free download from a gaming site. The plans show far more detail of the actual hull construction and planking but lack other deck detail from Winchelsea. I am thrilled to find Winchelsea to help me detail the fittings/deck etc. Unfortunately I am not as skilled as some which is disappointing. However I suggest there are some discrepancies - for instance Winchelsea is missing the second layer of planking above waterline which reinforced hull for boarding enemy vessel. It is also lacking oar ports which were still needed back then. I am no expert and welcome any correction

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.
