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.
question about selecting a ship kit

Hi i was wondering if someone could answer a few questions. What type of bow is the easiest to plank? rounded or pointed? I have built many balsa rc airplanes and a Dumas atlas van lines hydroplane and a dumas coast gaurd utility boat. Given my experience what level would that put me in should I start with something like a bounty launch lifeboat or A rattlesnake. Also what brand of kit has the most detailed quality and instructions. I am looking for something more challenging than the dumas rc boats.
Thanks
Mark
