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.

All lookin' good Mr MaddogMcQ......I also made this kit back in '71-72 (I was still in my teens, just so could afford the £5.5.0 just before we went decimal)....I have no idea what happened to my model...I left home and it disappeared !!!....anyway now well into building my 'new' £89.95 machine...sure is testing the grey matter and skills...the surgical scalpel is a real boon as there is so much 'flash' and bits that just don't fit on the new kit....I'd like to ask a question of anyone here...'How does the rear Axel assembly sit on the springs...I've glued mine into place but it doesn't look or feel right, just sitting on the little box mounted on the spring...looks like it should have a bracket of some sort to hold it in place...or araldite !!.....enjoyed reading your progress report...keep at it...I am !!!
