    As a teenager, I used to make model ships. One even won 3rd prize in a Model Engineer exhibition in London, though it looks very crude these days. Then a few years into retirement (now aged 80), I thought I’d try again, and so far have made models of HMS Sphinx, Winsby (later renamed Happy Return), RMS Britannia, and a late Elizabethan galleon based on the well-known Mathew Baker drawing. The present project is HMS Agamemnon. Not a kit (I've never made a kit model), and quite small at a scale of 1:150, as there's no room in the house for anything big. And the scale adds to the challenges. I'm attaching a photo of Winsby, which has a keel length of about 12 inches.

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.
