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.

Hello. My name is Rob Robinson and I am from Victoria British Columbia Canada. I will be building the AL Bluenose II over the winter. My wife and I are snowbirds and since I don't golf I need something to keep me out of trouble for five months. Years ago when I was much younger, impatient and less handy I attempted a Bilings Cutty Sark. Disaster. Did not even make it through the planking. A lot has changed over the years and I feel this build will be better. I hope to complete the project by May so that it can be entered into an auction for sick kids in Victoria.
