    Thanks for the information, that first clears up my ignorance of what the Mayflower was, I just did a search to see what type of ship it was and most if not all the search engines said it was a Dutch built Fluyt......so it for sure helps to ask questions towards people who know because the internet has proven to be wrong on many occasions..........I learned that when I did research building a piece of armor many years ago, i rarely built anything out of the box----and like ships, there simply is not a record of every tank or ship and especially how it was marked or painted.....and I would expect that the further you go back the less likely it is that you can find records,plans etc on every ship made, there aint no way......... Thanks for the wealth of information guys.....

    Being new here had a question about the Mayflower, it is my understanding that the ship was a Dutch Cargo Fluyt......so can other types of Dutch Fluyt ships be built from a Mayflower kit such as from the Revell,Imai,Trumpeter offerings.....anyone know? Is there any links to the Dutch type Fluyt ships of the 17 century?

    New here, looking to build my first ship model. I do have considerable model building experience with plastic kits, mostly armor and the like but never have attempted a ship of any sort. I like ships from the 17 and 18 centuries. Either wood or plastic........... and yes, the rigging scares the heck out of me which is probably why I have never attempted one for 40 something years in model building

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.
