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.

Hi,
I've started building the Amati Riva Aquarama model and found your build log very useful. I'm at the stage when I'm ready to start planking having temporarily fixed and now removed ( as shown in the instruction) the servo rudders and rudder linkages. I found fitting these extremely difficult and was accessing them through the model - which will eventually be planked and decked. The instructions imply that these components should be fitted on completion of the model. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this with the limited access that will be available once the model is completed. How did you manage to do this task? Also like yourself I'm thinking of fitting the prop shafts and gear box before starting planking. Did you find any problems with doing it this way? This is my first planked hull model that I have built so any help and guidance will be gratefully received. Thanks again for creating such a good build log.
Cheers
Duncan
