    I'm building the AL Le Renard. My biggest complaint was this pressed wood or plastic bow piece that I thought was just awful. The wood isn't great, but not bad for what I paid for the kit (less than $30 abuot 15 years ago). I'm hoping I have enough to complete the job. The castings seem fair, though the carronades do appear really simple and underscale. My first kit was a Constructo Enterprise, and I have to say the AL instructions, with pictures, are way better than Constructo's so far, though Constructo's ship's plans were good and matched the pieces. Overall, though, I'd say I got my money's worth from the AL kit.

    Very nice build. I've been working on the same kit for some time now and I'm impressed at how well your hull turned out, particularly given that molded bow thing that comes with the kit. I'd been thinking about leaving the sails off mine, but now I'm rethinking that decision after seeing your ship.

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.
