    Hey folks, Dion Dunn here.  I’m a mid-50’s builder of. Pretty much anything and everything,  and have recently turned my attention back to model ships.  Over the past 40 years, I’ve built or restored everything from a 1952 Ford Custom (first car) to a Formula Vee race car, to a vintage Italian  bicycle….Lots of RC airplanes and sailboats, RC cars, an HO scale model railroad (in progress), and now back to boats.  I’m also the ex-Commodore of our local Sailing club and actively race a Sunfish and a Capris 14.2 fullsize sailboats.

     

    In the past I’ve built the Model Expo Phantom pilot boat, the Amati 1934 J class Rainbow, and the Model Expo Taurus tugboat (for my Father’s train layout).  A few years ago I purchased one of the older Artesania Latina 1:50 Swift kits at a garage sale, and have just started it.  It’s not the best kit in the world, but it’s scratching the itch for now.  Looking forward to a larger build and learning lots from the folks on this site!

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.
