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.

Just joined the site as a place to find answers, gain insight and view others accomplishments as I work on my own.
I spent my youth building plastic models, mostly WWII German armored, but I did do Revels USS Constitution. I have always been fascinated by fully rigged sailing vessels and have wanted to build one. In 1999 I got a fantastic deal on AL’s San Juan Nepomuceno. I started it, and then the children came. Now 18 years later I am once again back to model building and have pulled the ship out of the closet.
Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for me.
