    Very good reference, I enhanced my Revell USS Constitution’s rigging details using the wonderful diagrams and info contained is this book. GREAT BOOK! Cheers 🍻 John

    Nicely done… congrats 🍾

    Thanks Keith… To be fair to Bluejacket, had I built the winch they casted it, the parts were done quite well. It was my Hacking of the parts to build the Klondike’s Winch, that roughed it up a bit. Thanks for your comments, I think it came out quite nicely for my first attempt. Cheers🍻

    Thank you Keith, your advice was very helpful. I can now add micro mechanics to my skill sets along with micro carpentry. 🔨

    Steam Winch… I purchased two Bluejacket steam winch kits and proceeded to modify them to create 1 Klondike Winch. CHEERS 🍻

    Keith, I love the detail at this scale, Awesome work! 🙇 You are an inspiration to me, as I am headed for small scale builds. The Admiral has been telling me to downsize my collection, either in numbers or scale. I am choosing scale so I can continue to build. LOL 😆

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.
