    Right now I'm working in my basement so a bit cramped. I will be moving to a new house in 2022 and will have a dedicated shop about 14x14. I have a small band saw, praxxon table saw and chop saw, a small belt/disc sander. I also have a unimat lathe/mill but its a bit small. Amazing what you collect in 40 years of modeling. I'm likely getting a small scroll saw and thinking about a bit larger lathe and milling machine of some sort. My plan is to have the various tools mounted on bases and stored on shelves then mounting what I'm using on a bench. I'm blessed with a wife that understands my hobbies. More likely it gets me out from underfoot!

    The flag and pirate was added by one of my surgical partners as a joke Constitution was damaged during a move and has been repaired

    Discovered this forum just recently. I've been modeling for most of my life. Started with plastic kits in grade school then moved on to solid hull kits. My first plank on frame was HMS Bounty some 40 years ago during my last year in Med School. My next project was HMS Victory which I kit bashed using The Anatomy of Nelsons Ships by Longridge. This took me 5 years during my surgical residency. Went on to Old Iron Sides by Mamoli, Life and kids go in the way so I stopped building for a while. Finished Cutty Sark during the pandemic. Just got started on Bluenose by model shipways. I've collected a rather large number of kits over the years both ships and cars . Many more than I can complete in a lifetime! Planning the next project is part of the hobby right? I'll be leaving my surgical practice soon and hope to spend several hours a day improving my skills Looking over some of the build logs have been an inspiration

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.
