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.

Hello fellow modellers, I have read all your posts and as a complete novice at wooden ships I admit am totally overwhelmed by the prospect of not doing the wooden parts of any ship, more getting my head aroid the rigging.
I have seen a number of books, dvd's and you tube videos on this subject and am just about to look at purchasing a kit to commence my journey.
In. saying that, the previous comments on the quality or details in instructions are just as frightening on a novice build as for a victory type model.
I am hoping that with the guidance of the experts on the forum I can complete my first build and, over time, increase my knowledge to be able to eventually attempt the expert type builds I can display with pride.
