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 like to say hello as I have just joined the forum.
I have been building 1/35th plastic armour kits for ages and wanted a change.
During the lockdown in the UK I bought a Victory models Lady nelson kit to try my hand at.
Sorry to say that I have not started the kit, to me its not a great beginners kit? Manual gives little guidance. Also I was surprised by the MDF hull ribs?
So I have left this kit till I know more about building.
So my first question is, is there a brand that as the best build manual,for a novice? I am looking to buy another kit that is more suited. The Lady nelson was a good size. Do not want something to small. Also do not want something with solid hull or little work.
Any tips on brands and info kit recommendation would be great.
