    Welcome!
  24. GrandpaPhil
    Welcome! This is my favorite corner of the internet. Everyone here is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Their examples, advice and experience are responsible for most of my models since 2018. I also build to chill out and relax. I’m also not super worried about the end result.
  25. GrandpaPhil
    Bienvenue! (Welcome!)
  26. GrandpaPhil
    Welcome!

    Bob, Looking forward to seeing this one! I have the Orel kit of the Wasa in 1/100 scale (card) in my stash and have it slated for sometime after I build de Zeven Provincien.
  28. GrandpaPhil
    Bob, The Harriet Lane looks amazing! Get to feeling better!
  29. GrandpaPhil
    Very nicely done!
  30. GrandpaPhil
    Excellent save! Very nicely done!

    @Baker, Thank you very much! Working on rigging the cannons: I am about 40% complete with the tackle rigs. All breech ropes are done!

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.
