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.

Hello everyone, is this thread an American thread? I am curious if the subject matter has an effect on the value of the ship. For example if it is an Knight’s Templar ship complete with details such as mask head in gold, gold thread cross sewn on the flag closest to the mask head when all of the other sails are brown with the Templar Cross on them. What type of materials are looking for to have been used? Would details such as ship bell be a positive? Ship name has been hand scribed in gold but the second part of the name is barely visible now
