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 Everyone. My name is Andrew and age 36. When a was 9 yrs old I was work on plastic model airplanes/helicopters, all military. I am an Air Force Vet. I did a combination of snap-tite and glue models. I have always had an interest in ships/boats. Growing up in Louisiana you get to see a bunch of them on the Mississippi River and Intercoastal Canal. I have just started modeling again and figured I would take a crack a ships. I have started my first wood kit. I'm having fun with it. I have been watching many video's to help me learn the techniques needed to put together a wood kit. My first model that I'm working on is the "The Harvey", a Baltimore Clipper. It has stumped me a few times but a few google searches and youtube video's later, back in action.
