    Chuck will the capstan be available for non-club members? It would make a nice display with my Winnie capstan. Thanks! Best Regards …. Rick

    Shauer, To my eye, I think the garboard strake needs to extend farther forward towards the bow. Unfortunately, you'll have to adjust several of the strakes to accommodate the adjustment. Look closely at the pictures in chapter 2 and look at other Winnie build logs. Best Regards .... Rick

    Greg, thanks for the additional information, I also have a small lathe and thin diamond discs. I was going to use a file also. Time to rethink the process. Best Regards .... Rick

    There are some real low-life's out there. Sorry that you have to deal with kind of BS, it's so uncalled for. I too would like to see the Battle Station as a regular kit in your kit lineup. Would be a nice addition to those of us that are working on the Speedwell. Best Regards .... Rick

    Dusan, Your model is absolutely stunning! I’m in total awe of your fine craftsmanship. I do have a question though, I know for the wales you used black leather dye, for the rest of the model, did you use black paint or the dye? ‘’Best Regards …. Rick

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.
