    Thank you, Keith ... perhaps one day, although I recognise that I mustn’t leave it too long. 😒

    Thank you, Steven, and everyone else for the kind welcome! No, I’ve nothing on the go at present although I’m contemplating the newly introduced Occre “Endurance “. I have, however, recently completed the Mantua sectional model of a between decks gun station. I’m afraid my modest skills have deteriorated with age (arthritis and a tremor doesn’t help with modelling) but it at least keeps the old brain active!

    I promised myself some years ago that I would one day join this excellent forum but somehow never got round to it! I’m still putting planks to decks but at 82 - although the will is there - gnarled, arthritic fingers now make things hard going. That said, there are wonders to be seen here and I shall look forward to contributing from time to time. Thanks for having me! 😎 Derek

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.
