  32. John Ruy
    YES! Working on a pair of Catheads now. Drilling out the triple block in the end is challenging. CAN’T WAIT TO START RIGGING. I think some blocks will have to be a painted knot 🪢 LOL 😂

    Hi Jon, just went thru your build log here. Excellent work… Love your diorama. I saw your Bowdoin Diorama up close, several years ago in Boothbay. I was working on my own Bowdoin back then. Looking forward to getting a close up look at this one when you bring it to one of our meetings. Meanwhile, I’m going to pull up a chair and watch you finish. 🍻

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.
