    Keith, I have been binge reading your build to get caught up. All I can say is the level of craftsmanship is incredible. I am in awe.

    ccoyle, I was a member of the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights for a period of time. They are a wonderful group of modelers and they were an incredible resource. Unfortunately, the distance I have to travel makes being an active member difficult and I just didn’t feel right about just popping in now and then. I do continue to follow their activities as much as I can on Facebook. Ryland, thank you for the link. I’m sure I will be binge reading build logs as I progress

    Hello all, new member from California. While not new to modeling, I do consider myself a beginner when it comes to ship modeling. I read the post titled A Cautionary Tale by ccoyle and I definitely fit the category of starting off biting off more than I could handle. My first attempt was the Armed Virginia Sloop kit from Model Expo. It was during the initial planking that I found I was in over my head. I set the model aside and drifted away from the hobby. There’s something about ships and modeling that just keeps drawing me back. The beauty of it just keeps pulling at me. I have since restarted work on my model with a renewed interest and much more knowledge from reading build logs online and I have to say it appears to be going well. I look forward to continuing to learn from you all and eventually be comfortable enough in my builds to share them as well.

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.
