    I'm not new to wood modeling (over 20+years), and prefer to build scale models. However, I am relatively new to tall ship modeling, and I'm doing research before staring my next project, an AL San Francisco II galleon (I assume this model is only "semi-scale", but it's a starting point for a larger, RC tall ship sometime in the future). I have a question about sails: When building a scale tall ship, is it customary to have the sails furled or unfurled? In the tall ship modeling world, does having furled sails signify anything, something like ship lost in battle... Thanks, Scratchie

    Hello everyone, I've just joined this forum and look forward to reading many posts. I've a lot of wood model building (mostly RC airplanes), both by kit and scratch build, and have built two WWII ship kits, a Cutty Sark kit, and scratch built the SS Shenking merchant steamer. Next project is the AL San Francisco galleon. Most questions I have will be about rigging and choosing stain colors.

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.
