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.
HMB Endeavour 1768 3D Model
in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software

Hi ODemoth,
how did you go with the model in the end?
We are pitching the idea of building a replica of the Endeavour as part of an event to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Cook and Banks discovery of Australia in 1770 (the event therefore being in 2020) to the NSW state government.
We are trying to accurately represent the ship as it would appear on a site in Sydney and it would clearly save time if we could utilise your 3D model.
The project is a not for profit initative and seeks to get the school kids of Australia involved in sponsoring the building of the replica for a few dollars for which they get to be part of this unique project and get their name embossed on a plaque in the ships hull.
It would be great to get your input / support on this and we'd of course acknowledge you as the creator of the model in the presentations.
We already have the full blueprints of the ship itself and a seasoned boat builder who was involved in creating the relica that sails around the world, so it's more saving in time to do the presentations / sell the idea to government in the first place that the model would be most helpful
what do you think?
kind regards, Steven
