    I was looking for something for my 3 year old grand son for Christmas. So grandpa decided to build a sternwheel steamship, and in lack of time for a scratch-build, it would have to be a relatively simple design, but tough enough to be showen over the carpet. It also would be capable of floating on a lake or pond. It is more or less a nice functionable toy ship for little boys to play with. It would run with a 4,5 Volt battery, if required. Today I recieved the kit. It was a pile of wooden planks and round dowels together with an electric motor, an reduction gear, a few gear wheels and a drive chain. The wooden parts are neigther printed on, nor laser cut, so quite a task, and I do hope I´ll get it completed by Christmas. The partslists come together with some scetch drawings and a rather short building instruction. The Kit from make "Matches 21" is reasonable affordable, (less 50 Eur ) for the case that the model would not last too long. Nils

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.
