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.

Thanks so much for that. Great advice. I have just received my first kit. Its the polaris from occre in Spain. I too wanted to jump in and buy a huge kit like HMS Victory from Amati but I'm trying to follow advice and start small. I laughed when I opened the box yesterday when I seen all the parts and new I would need as much help as possible with this basic kit. I can't comprehend the skill levels on some of you guys with these huge ships but figure if you can do it then someday I might be able to do it. Can anybody give their impression of the Polaris kit from Occre and also on the mayflower first step kit from Amati. Thanks lads.
