    1. Hull Construction 1-3 I've started the Hull Construction. First I dry fitted bulkheads 4-13 onto the false keel and then the lower deck step patterns onto the bulkheads before fitting the lower decks before gluing everything into place. I was really impressed with how tight the clearances are on all the laser cut parts. It really is a giant jigsaw puzzle. I wish I'd have cleaned up the laser char on the lower deck seams. I realize this won't be very visable though.

    Hello Shipmates I thought I'd share with you my build of Vanguard's HM Brig-Sloop Speedy. This is the 3rd wooden model ship I've built over the past 2 years but the first one I've posted on here. The prior two being Occre's Polaris and Amati's Lady Nelson. I ordered this directly from Vanguard figuring it would take a week or two to make it to Phoenix AZ so I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up on my doorstep in Phoenix Arizona 3 days later. My first impression upon opening the box was how well it was packed, it really spoke volumes about how much pride they take in thier kits. The cover art on the box is beautiful. The kits packaging Most of the parts laid out. Thanks Martin

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.
