    Yup I am down the road in Bull City.

      I think either my next build, or the following, will be the Vanguard Models HM Sherbourne.  I love the looks of the Grecian, but folks legitimately warned me off that one.  The Sherbourne is a beaut too and I have found a long form YouTube playlist by ModelKitStuff for the kit that is very detailed.  So, all is good

      Anyway, is there a group around here that gets together.  I noticed that yvesvidal is local too.  It would be great to pick the brains of experienced wooden ship modelers if things get sticky.

      Always happy to help. Have done 20 models so far and all the advanced VANGUARD KITS. All but 5 on the forum

      I saw some of the forum builds.  They will help quite a bit.

      I'm really thinking of building both the Sherbourne and the RN Ajax (plastic 1/700) at the same time.  I think I will like the pace of the wood build and the topic of the WWII Ajax.

      While I have yet to build anything of wood, I really like what I see in the Vanguard kits on the builds here.  That is why I leaned that way.  It is obvious that the designer of those kits has spent the time necessary to create a good product.

      You will see a build log for the Sherbourne NLT December.  My Admiral Graf Spee build is finally completing.

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.
