    Hello everyone. My name's Sam Willis - I'm a well-known UK-based historian and I'm currently working on a new and very exciting project to film the world's best ship models with the latest camera tech. The project began with two models at the National Maritime Museum in London. HMS Royal George - a model made for King George III can be be viewed here and a quick behind the scenes video here of filming the Great Eastern diorama. All of this has been filmed for the UK's Society for Nautical Research and published in the Mariner's Mirror podcast. I'm now ready to take this project further, and to global collections, and I need some help with where to look for remarkable ship models worth filming. I would be enormously grateful for all ideas and suggestions. I'm keen on any sort of model as long as it looks remarkable; ideally if it has a good story behind it or an interesting vessel. I am not restricted by period and I'm interested in working with both private collections and public. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Sam

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.
