  7. Bilbil Lalong from Astrolabe Bay, P.N.G.

    Modeled at 1/2"=1', this is a 9.5m Lalong from Madang, Papua New Guinea. Sources for this model were Mary Mennis' two outstanding documentations of the reconstruction of the first Lalong built at Madang in over a generation: "The First Lalong Canoe Built for 40 Years, Bilbil Village, Madang Province" (1980), and "Mariners of Madang and Austronesian Canoes of Astrolabe Bay" (2011).  The upper lee platform is the 'captain's quarters,' while the weather side was the crew's.  The lower slatted platform was used for carrying cargo-- typically clay pots, which were traded along the coast. At the top of the mast is a wooden cuckoo-- totem of a local clan.

  10. Hawaiian Sampan

    This is a model of the "Waialua Beauty"-- a power sampan I saw at Hale'iwa Harbor some years back. I built it to the hull-lines of one shown in Harry Sucher's "Simplified Boatbuilding: The V-Bottom Boat" plate 33, with specific details, color, etc. from photographs of the original. Scratch built at 3/4"=1'.

  11. Slocum's "Spray"

    Scratch built at 3/8"=1' from lines in "Sailing Alone Around the World" with details from same and later interpretations. Interior mostly my imagination.  While not R/C (nor even really made for water), it sails very nicely in light wind, and is great company for summer swims.

  12. Tahitian Va'a Motu

    Old-form Va'a Motu from Tahiti, based on diagrams in Haddon & Hornell's "Canoes of Oceania," Doran's "Wangka: Austronesian Canoe Origins" and Neyret's "Pirogues Ocenaniennes."  Western drawings of this canoe type go back to the 1770s.  By the 20th Century, this sail form had been replaced with spritsails of western form.

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.
