    Hey mate Gday snowy here from dawin i believe all of the above is true . I highly recommended frank mastini s book ship models simplified. I personally got the amati adventure as my first kit but i didn't start it for about 2 months after i bought it.first i bought books and looked at other builds . But i think most importantly i looked at my plans for the build for over a month to understand everything .i tried understand all and dry fit and glue once Good luck and enjoy Snowy

    Hi guys I have pre made sails on my occre diana kit , all 21 of them. My question is when i did my amati adventure kit it had a 1.3 mm rope tied around All the edges. Do you guys reckon i should put this thread arond the pre made sails . Or when you have pre made sails is this not done. Cheers snowy

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.
