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.

As the title says I’m about to take my first steps into wood model building, I’ve built countless plastic models but I am ready for a new challenge. I’ve wanted to build the Occre cut-away Bounty but after reading build logs and watching YouTube builds it seemed a bit ambitious for my first one so I’ve ordered the Occre Albatross. I was watching a build video and the guy building it was using some sort of palm-sized squeeze bulb to put pins into the planking and it made me realize that I may not be tooled up right for a wood build. So the obvious question is.. what, if any, special tools would you recommend I should have??
