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.

Hi there. I’ve just joined the Group today. I’m a retired seafarer (38 years Service Royal Navy). I have been building POF ships since I was about 19. Six ships completed in between time away at sea. All builds have been from ‘in the market’ kits, but I am working myself up to take a leap of faith and semi scratch build HMS Prince from the Amati plans, which are on order. I just need to finish HMS Fly first; basic hull complete, main deck fitted and that’s it so far.
I do like WW2 ships, mainly 1/350 scale in plastic, with all the aftermarket bits and bobs. Recently finished a paper and card 1/200 HMS King George V.
Really looking forward to sharing stuff on this site.
