    Dave I restored a model called Queen Frederica on this site and there’s pictures of my models in it.

    Hi Dave, I’ll sail it a few times then it’s on display in my living room along with the many way to many other projects from over past few decades. I’ve been a scale model junkie since I was a kid. Mike

    Just an update on my progress. Working on rigging. Hoping to finally get finished or is a scale model ever finished? Looking into some HO scale tanks and trucks for the deck cargo.
  18. Mike P
    I’ve been busy trying to get this project completed. I’m up to assembling all the pieces and bits. Next booms and rigging dericks.
  19. Mike P

    Thanks you for the kind words Don, Deans supplies everything needed to build the ship, of course upgrades never hurt but a great place to start and just right for a working r/c model. Deans put a lot of thought into the kit It’s a builders kit meaning lots of work but lots of satisfaction, that’s what it’s all about. Mike

    Thank you Yves, I’m considering getting into it as the 3D printers are really not that expensive but like everything else there’s always the add ons I will look into it as it’s really the future thank you for you time. Mike

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.
