    Hi All, Getting ready for the first build (Amati Lady Nelson), who has built their first ship and wished they had started with a building slip? When during the build process is it most useful? Dave

    Thanks! Quite a bit more expensive... I would possibly consider it for the sake of the membership, however it's out of stock.

    Hello Everyone, Very nice to find this site! I have always wanted to build a wooden ship... built lots of plastic ships when I was younger. I am retiring next month, have a nice work area and have decided to jump in. I have been reading the forums and looking at the build logs. WOW! So much to learn and so many good resources! I am thinking about Amati's Lady Nelson for my first build. However I also see the 1/2 hull on this site. That might be a good one to start on first. Opinions on either of these are certainly welcome, and opinions for a first build. Also had a question about the actual ship size. Is it easier to build a ship of larger scale? Are all the ship kits out there generally the same scale? Look forward to meeting many of you - Dave

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.
