Nautical Research Guild

Westmont IL, 60559-1917
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.

The best book on modeling the HMS Victory is by Neapolitan Longbridge, The Anatomy of Nelson's Navy (or ships). It is a very complete progression of a very detailed building of the Victory replica. It is not a new book - I bought mine back in the 1950's. If you can find it, the enclosed information about age of sail ship modeling and how the actual ships were put together is exceptionally detailed. It is well worth an investment for the serious age of sail ship modeler.
