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.

Good morning all. Pete in RI here. Looks like you are making a well planned start here, well done. When you order parts from Dan, ask about his new stern balisters. He now makes separate ones (3D printed), so that you can scrape off the kit ones, paint the area black, paint the new balisters yellow, then add them to the stern. Check his build log. They are also much finer detailed than the kit ones, and no fiddely painting or masking required. Also I suggest you buy all his sheets, you will realise this as your build progresses. There are full instructions on his website. Regards, Pete.
