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.

Well just look at that..over past 2 years have built Artesania Latina's Mississippi steamboat and chinese Junk. I am now awaiting delivery of Mantua's Victory 1:98 since
I wanted a more challenging and lengthy project, now I'm gaining more confidence.(They were my first two model boat attempts).
Thought I'd look to see if anyone had posted experiences of the build and straight away found your log. I will no doubt be looking at this regularly once I've started for
guidance and inspiration when the going gets tough..because I know sometimes it does!
Great that you have taken time and trouble to create the log...will surely help others..such as me along the way.
Now semi-retired so have more time for such things.
