Nautical Research Guild

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 Stuart. Just finished HMS Warrior and thought you might consider some of the extras I added to the kit. I know its to late for gun deck cannons and lighting but I made all the other tenders and extra rope work which I found the kit sorely missing. When it came to the hammock racks around the gunwale I used 3mm dowel cut slightly short of the recess then wrapped the canvas around and tucked any loss ends in the gaps. You have to bend a few lengths to follow the bow line. I think if you go to Facebook and search for HMS Warrior you should come up with my build. Regards John Cook
