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.

To All:
I'm a bit of an old coot picking up on trying to complete a model of the Cuttysark I began in 1974 (Have I waited long enough?). The hull, deck and cabins were all completed back around '76 when I was on the road a bit. I've yet to complete the masts and shuddered a bit when I found that little piece of plywood with 13 little cutouts on it. Any suggestions on cutting these out? A fine coping saw maybe.
My biggest problem is that my plans have gone astray except for the rigging. I have no idea of correct dimensional layout for the cabins. Anyone have an old copy? I haven't as yet tried to see if Billings is still around, but am guessing not. My real problem was likely self induced as I started making wine in 1977 and am sure my interest shifted. Now if my eyes can hold out and my hands will quit shaking I'm going to finish the Cutty. Thanks for any help. Bruce Paulsen, Orinda, Calif.
