    Hi all, my name is Art, coming to you from Kentucky, USA. I'm originally form Arizona where I built what seems to be a right of passage, the REVELL 1:96 USS Constitution. That was quite some time back in my high school days. My mother would not let me take that ship from her house when I moved out (which was back in 1980). Unfortunately that ship did not survive my young nephew.. After my mother's passing, I decided I would get back into the hobby. I am currently working on the Black Pearl, I won't mention manufacturer, most of you know why. Wish I had found this site before that purchase, but it is what it is. Instructions are pretty bad, a lot of errors on the rigging, etc., but it's coming alone just fine with a few modifications. It's been a fun build and I am looking forward to finishing it soon. I've have the MS2040 USS Constitution on deck and will start it once I complete the Black Pearl for my wife. Looking forward to borrowing a few ideas from some very talented Connie builders like xken, usetosail, geoff matson, modeler12, captainsteve & jsgerson just to name a few. Great forum, so much information between here and NRG. Glad I stumbled upon it, so much stuff still to learn...

    I have to agree, I wasted a little money on one of these. It barely does okay on the wood lathe setup. Jigsaw setup about the same. As a metal lathe, it's junk. Haven't tried the other setups, but it's not a precision machine by any means. For a few extra bucks, I could have made a better lathe

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.
