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.

Hi Ed,
I have been reading through your log with great interest as I have recently found an old Norske Love kit at a garage sale. The idea of building this ship interested me so I picked it up. Of course the set is partially built with many parts missing or damaged as it is my understanding this kit was originally purchase in the early 70,s. So you are aware, I am a complete novice at building boats.
I am going to have to plank the decks and hull for sure and not sure what wood to use as there are few instructions. I can tell that the hull would be mahogany as I have some of those in the kit. The deck confuses me as in some builds I notice the decks are lighter in Color and others in mahogany. What would be the best to use if I can’t obtain mahogany strips for the hobby dealer.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give and thank you for your blog which has helped me so much already.
