    Lancashire - one of the old mill towns - grimy place - mostly cold wet and windy.

    Hi all, I'm a newbie, and I chose as my first build, The Beagle from Occre. Two reasons for my choice. Firstly the excellent tutorial vids on youtube as being a new builder I had no idea how clear the instructions would be and I didn't want to fail at the first hurdle. Secondly, I read a book in 2008 and it turned out to be my all time favorite book ever. If I could only take one book to a desert island this would be it. This Thing of Darkness by Harry Thompson I originally found this in the library, loved it so much I promptly went out and bought it so i could read it again. I've quoted one of the 5 star reviews on Amazon from C. E. Utley of the book below as I can't possibly do it justice myself. After reading this I have been fascinated by the voyages of the Beagle, and therefore it HAD to be my choice of first build. I've got to the stage of making the Bowsprit, and although I've made a few mistakes along the way I'm happy how its turning out. I found the hardest thing was actually making the tiny boats - most exasperating. I won't make a build log of this although I'll upload a few photos once I've finished. Anyway, I hope this introduction wasn't too long, and if you happen to read the book - you are in for a treat. Best wishes everyone Genny

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.
