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.

Is anyone still reviewing this posting who has built the model? If so, I have a question; I am currently building it and am working on the paddle wheels. The plans reference part number 84, which is defined as 1x3mm strip. However, the scale drawing appears to use 1x5mm strip. The 1x5 looks better on the model because the 1x3 does not have sufficient size to "dip" beyond the spokes like a real paddle wheel would do. My question is which size did you use and if it was the 1x5, did you have sufficient material in the kit? Many thanks, I am really looking forwards to doing this model. I have made two other wooden sailing ship models and really enjoy this hobby, but these plans are not the most reliable...
