Nautical Research Guild
237 South Lincoln Street
Westmont IL, 60559-1917
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.
Sopwith F.1 Camel Build Log

John:
I enjoyed following your construction of the Sopwith Camel. I also built one and it was a challenge for my 84 year-old fingers and eyes. But I got through it pretty well. 160 hours of work. I just wasn't able to hook up the control cables to the stick and rudder pedals but it doesn't show.
I grew up in Salem (NH) and got a Civil Engineering degree at UNH and moved west. Worked for the City of San Diego for 40 years and retired in 1999. Never missed the New Hampshire winters! Over the years I have returned in Octobers to enjoy the beautiful foliage.
