    The big mod was creating and building the water cannons. I had to research that a lot. Then I had to build the water cannon out of available components. Then I searched for NYFD decals and had the make sure they were the correct size . Mounting the decals was tricky on wood

    I have no idea how many of your tugboat kits have been built, but mine is probably the first to be converted to a fireboat. Are you happy about me hijacking your kit? ….. Or upset?

    Creativity and ingenuity prevent everything being cookie-cutter. I couldn't be more delighted. Send me a couple of pix and a paragraph or two of your mods and I'll make it "model of the month" sometime.

    I have no idea how many of your tugboat kits have been built, but mine is probably the first to be converted to a fireboat. Are you happy about me hijacking your kit? ….. Or upset?

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.
