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.

SkiBee - I can't thank you enough for posting most of the steps of your build of the Norwegian Sailing Pram. I'm starting the same build after I just finished the Dory build. Due to not having scale plans, and problems with contradictions in the instruction manual, I was about to give up with this build.
Just in time I ran across this blog site and your posting, and I was able to regain my confidence and desire to complete this build.
I was hoping to learn to build all 3 beginner models so I could move on to larger ships, but the build manuals, and instructions leave a lot to be desired.
It is my hopes that you or someone else who builds the 3rd build, the Lobster Smack will post the complete build in the same manner as you have with the Pram build. Thank you!
