    I must confess......I was quietly browsing on the local 'for sale' site here in Norway -actually looking for a book on the old Colin Archer rescue skips when....suddenly.... there was a Colin Archer 414 (ABS hull) kit for sale. It was only 20 minutes drive from me so I when to see it. 

    Some mildew (jordslag) on the sailcloth, the wood didn't smell too fresh either so I bought it😬!  Did not take the original box though, that did not smell good at all. 

    Once home, I sprayed the sailcloth with 7% vinegar and sprayed everything else with Cavicide (a surface antibac spray) to kill the mildew bugs.

    This new (old) Colin Archer will be built as the RS14 which was launched in 1901 and named 'Stavanger'.  It's 1' longer than the RS1 -don't know why yet. The full size RS14 is on land at the Colin Archer museum in Larvik east Norway. 

    There, I've confessed,

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.
