  1. Danish fishing vessel 1/220 from cardstock

    In the 1900s with upcoming of the petrol engine, the Danish began to increase their fishing fleet in order to outrun fishermen who were underway by sail only. The fast Danish vessels suddenly appeared on the fishing grounds, took their advantage of speed and catched and delivered their fish before the others could react.
    That's why they've been nick-named "shark cutters".
    My model is nearly 95% scratch built, that's why I'm posting it here. Scale is 1/220.

  3. Ice Breaker "Stettin" HMV card model scale 1/250

    One of my christmas gifts from my beloved wife. It's the German ice breaker "Stettin", built in 1933, decommissioned 1979 and still afloat carrying tourists and guests. 
    The model is from cardboard and depicts the vessel as it can be seen today. Publisher is HMV, the model has been constructed by Peter Brandt. I built it "out of the box", adding thread railings and some colour here and there.

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.
