    I'm 69 and have been building models since childhood. All the plastic stuff and rockets. Always fun. I have finished one wood ship model. The NY Pilot Boat. It was quite a learning experience. By the time I was done I wished I could start over because I had progressed so much. I am terribly proud of my model simply because I got it done. I considered buying another ship with a pre-shaped hull but went with the English Pinnace. I was at the point where I needed to plank the hull. There are so many methods and information I was boggled. Then I took my own advice...don't rush, study and practice on scrap if possible. I had so many questions and finding answers was a struggle. Then I found English Pinnace by EricWilliamMarshall. Great Just great! He answered several of the questions in his build log that popped into my mind. Great Just Great. I backed up and am doing some cleaning up of what I have already done to make my further work easier and better. I doubt I will do more ships beyond the Pinnace. I look forward to looking at pictures and reading the articles

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.
