    Well, it's a hobby and not a quest. I work on my model as time allows and when I'm in the right frame of mind to commit to quality work. And those 2 things don't always coincide with each other.

    Looks great! I know what you mean about life getting in the way. I haven't made it into the shipyard for weeks.

    Welcome aboard, Joanne! There are a wide variety of models to choose from. Everything from ancient Egyptian, to tug boats, to warships, to well known Hollywood boats like the African Queen. Whatever you choose there is help available at this site.

    Welcome aboard! As I once was told: it's only wood and can be repaired / changed in a variety of ways.

    Remember, your build log may help another. No matter how many logs there are of a given model the techniques used to build them will differ. And passing on this information is the idea behind this site.

    I've found that having multiple was of accomplishing a task is best for me. Take saws or clamps for example. One size dosent fit all. Especially when working in small, tight areas. But to each their own.😀

    To measure accurate angles for cutting material. Sometimes on a model, sometimes on a drawing. Just another tool to use when other measureing tools aren't applicable.

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.
