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.

Just saw your notes on the ESSEX> I worked with the curator of the Peabody Museum, Chad Smith, and Bill Baker when the Book "The ESSEX Papers" was being written. Had access to a lot of inf, and did a lot of research myself. I built a scratch model of the ship, donated it to the Museum, in 1976. It was on display for some years. There are many errors in the kit, and I don't think Portia's info is accurate. Suggest you try to get a copy of the book and plans. I am making a book with photos of my model. Don't know where you ARE IN THE CONSTRUCTION, BUT WOULD BE GLAD TO PROVIDE INFO
