    Hi. apologies for joining this conversation late, but I thought I would add my two pennies worth. I started HMS Pickle around 2008 but couldn't get my head around how to fair the bulkheads and it ended up in a box where it remains until today. A few months ago I thought I'd have another go, older, wiser etc. So I got Vanguard's HMS Sherbourne. I'm now a couple of evenings away from completing the rigging and I am so happy with the finished result and already looking forward to rescuing Pickle from her poor box and giving her another go. My Sherbourne isn't perfect, not by a long way, but as I don't plan on entering any competitions, doing macro photography or hosting any model shipwright conventions I'm more than satisfied with her, warts and all. If anything, the faults that I have left and not fixed will, I know, serve as inspiration to me to do better next time. Anyway, great starter kit, can't recommend it highly enough.

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.
