    Thanks. I'll start the Santa Maria prep work tomorrow and it'll be about a week until I start assembling the stem post, keel and stern post. And I'll visit some of the blogs here and see how they work so I can start my blog. I see you're in WI. I lived in Beloit for a few years before moving south to Warner Robins, GA.

    Hello everyone. New member here! And Happy Easter to everyone! I started building models way long ago as a boy and on a summer trip my mom took me two Mystic Seaport where I saw and got on board the Charles W Morgan and that did it. I fell in love with sailing ships. Then life happened. Although a career in the Air Force and aviation (now retired and a volunteer at the Museum of Aviation), my interest in sailing ships never diminished. While stationed in England I restarted building model ships but this time the ships were wooden models from Billing Boats. I selected Billing because of their "star" rating system for beginner, intermediate and expert. My first was the Marie Jeanne. I have stayed with the beginner models building the Roar Ege, Oseberg viking ships and both versions of the Bluenose. I am now about to start the next level (Intermediate) with the Billing Boats "Santa Maria." I have just found this site while browsing the net for some hints on easier ways to make sails. Wish I would have found you sooner. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and I'm looking forward to gleaning knowledge from you and may offer some of mine. Never have done a blog so this will be interesting. Allen C

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.
