    A little joke to test your attention: there is a mistake, who will discover it?

    The visual reality of guns on finished model : not very present 😛 I would find a better look, that's seems difficult...
  10. Chris.

    @ Dubz Another detail: the smooth crown of the stern was never sculpted to facilitate the evacuation of water splashes, and preferably tarred to protect the wood from cracking caused by the sun
  25. Chris.
    One detail: textured smooth nails are never nailed with exposed heads Nails are poisonous for modellers health 🤢 Under 1/30 scale : strengstens verboten !

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.
