    I am currently building 'Saettia' (a late 17th-century lateen-rigged Genoese transport ship), another one of Tomek Weremko's designs published by WAK. 'Saettia' is far and away the best paper model kit I have yet attempted. I was particularly impressed by the way the hull is constructed. I am not the most skillful modeller, but the thing looks excellent: no ribs visible at all, exactly the shape it is supposed to have, and every single plank fits. And if you are no closer than 10 inches, it is indistinguishable from wood. So far, building this model has been an absolute delight. The Virginia Sloop is next in line, and maybe I will eventually graduate to the Zeven Provincien...

    I built this model, which was published by the Ukrainian company 'Oriel' (Kherson) and designed by Alexander Kustov. Kustov's guiding principle is that it should be possible to make everything of paper - so no templates are needed for additional parts made of wood or wire. I found the Solferino kit excellent: the descriptions and diagrams clear and the quality of the print impressive (for example the copper and brass parts). Everything fit perfectly, the build was fun, and the result looks good (with any faults being due to my lack of experience).

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.
