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.

Good day.
I am looking at building a model of the American Privateer Young Teazer. The ship was a topsail schooner of 60 ft in length. So I am looking at a Baltimore clipper model that can possibly be modified to represent this ship.
The actual ship was blown up by her captain to avoid capture, offshore of where I am living, in Chester, Nova Scotia.
What scale length is the Harvey model? I am thinking I would have to alter the scale, like higher bulwark, larger deadeyes, larger cannons, etc, to change a 90 to 120 ft Baltimore clipper to represent a 60 ft topsail schooner
