    Yes Allan, I used to own one a little while ago. Had a lot of fun sailing it. Between the canvas convertible top and the reverse sheer that the bow had , it used to get quite a few looks.

    Hello all, thank you for all of the words of encouragement. It's nice to know that there's a wealth of knowledge out there willing to help you along with your project. I'll try to keep up with updates on the build, but tech and I don't quite get along. And to answer Louie da Fly's question,yes, this is the solid carved hull. Like I said, start Really basic. Thanks again.

    Hello everyone. Registered on this site a little while ago but it took me a little while to introduce myself. I've been watching a lot of the ship models being built on YouTube and quite frankly,it's a little intimidating. The level of craftsmanship is amazing. (humbling) I work in the aerospace industry and have been building model airplanes for pretty much all of my life. Mainly control line and radio control. Then someone challenged me to build a rubber powered free flight. I was hooked. Something so basic,but it was great. I loved building and flying,but I needed to get out of my comfort zone. In looking at all of the videos, I was amazed at all of the intricacies of building model boats/ships. Well,I decided to take the plunge. After reading a lot on this site,I went REALLY basic. I'm currently working on the Scientific Santa Maria. I know that there are better kits out there,but I'd rather mess up on this one. Call it testing the water (pun intended). Thanks everyone. //

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.
