    Well, I'm speechless. I found this website and forum after seeing an auction advertising the "Corel Sezione Maestra Cut-away Wood Model Kit" and then doing some googling. I am blown away by the detailing and intricacy of this gentleman's work. It's put me off now, from bidding on that kit...I haven't built a model since I ruined an Airfix model of a car more than 50 years ago, and I thought, after seeing the kit on the auction "Ooh, I'd like to have a go at that." And then I found this site...bloody hell, am I out of my league! I'd ruin that kit, I'm sure of it. However, I love all things nautical, Nelson was my childhood hero, and when I visit the Victory I am truly in my "happy place". I suspect all you modellers must be familiar with The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships by C. Nepean Longridge, but on the remote chance that one of you is not, it's something you will want to buy. I pore over my copy frequently. It's brilliant and it's great to compare his photos of the Victory and his model with my photos of her. I'm looking forward to exploring more of this awesome website and these forums.

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.
