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 think what you've built looks great, I'm currently working on the same model. I've completed the hull and about to put the railing around the top of the hull and lay the decking. It looks like you've used a stain on both timbers - is that correct. The instructions say to use a clear gloss but that doesn't come up that well.
Also how did you go about shaping the deck timber, what I mean is, how to did you come up with the shape to trim the decking to before you laid it.
Thanks!
