    I used the AL Bounty Jolly Boat as my intro to an actual planked hull model boat. It worked perfectly and I learned a LOT!

    Congratulations! Very nicely done!

    I’m not generally a fan of the Mantua set of model houses (of which Sergal is a part), but a Sergal kit can make a great start for a build, just be aware that if you want any real levels of detail and accuracy, it is going to be a kit bash, not a kit build, and involve much research, which you should do anyway for the best results.

    Mark, That is excellent news!

    Endeavour looks great! I am my own sewing department. From my personal experience and in my opinion, it is worth the extra work to make all sails and display them fully set.

    Bob, I haven’t looked in for a while, Astrolabe is looking amazing! My sincere condolences for your friend! Those plans of the Astrolabe look like AAMM plans, and their plans are amazing!

    I have no idea how Academy handles replacement parts but the alternatives are to make your own decals on a computer and print them, paint them and cut them out, paint them directly on the model or buy aftermarket decals/stencils.

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.
