    Welcome Gunbunny. Like you, I consider myself a plastic modeler and I'm also just getting started in the ship building part of the hobby. Built plastic models off and on most of my life (61 now), and as I get older I find my interests are actually broadening, in regards to subject. I like going back and forth on projects, keeps my interest fresh. Hope you enjoy the journey!

    Thanks Dave. Looking through some threads, seems everyone is friendly and eager to help. Most of my experience with message boards is with sports related ones. I expect this one to be a breath of fresh air.

    Thanks Bruce. I’m definitely not a prolific builder, so don’t expect a lot, either in quantity or quality.

    Thanks for the welcomes everybody. Peter, I agree, there seems to be something about making intricate models of modes of transportation. I've had the bug since I was a little tyke.

    New member, just getting into model ship building. I've built models off and on all my life (61 now), but they've always been associated with model railroading or model cars. I have little knowledge of ships, but they interest me greatly (mainly sailing ships). I have decent plastic modelling skills and that is the medium I've chosen to start out with, plastic kits. I had a Revell 1/96 Constitution when I was a teenager, but lost interest in it before I got too far. Unfortunately the kit has been lost to time. I'm not going to make the mistake of undertaking such a daunting task of starting right back there, I plan on biting off less challenging fare initially. I'll be lurking on here, picking up wisdom on what makes up a sailing ship and learning new techniques. I'll happily contribute any knowledge I've picked up over the years, if there ever comes a time when the opportunity presents itself. Happy modelling! Rob Smith Oklahoma City, US

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.
