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.

Geoff, . . . Or anyone that has built this model ! ! !
Stumbled upon this website while doing research on a recently inherited model, The Charles W. Morgan. I see you started the build a few years ago. How goes the progress? Have you completed it? If so, a few pictures of it would be greatly appreciated Sir.
I received this model partially started. By that I mean the hull has been started. It looks like the shiplap, (?), boards are almost done. I think everything is there from my first inventory checking. Guess I really won't know until I start constructing this magnificent ship.
Any "first-timer" tips you might want to share? I've never built anything like this before. Really no experience beyond the standard car/ship/plane models as a kid. The typical plastic type.
I am an experienced woodworker / furniture builder that, hopefully, will help me with this. Your thoughts on this please.
Looking forward to your response.
Thanking you in advance,
