    Hearty congratulations on both the beautiful construction and the magnificent documentation. Your work instills confidence in my second wood boat build. Thank you!

    Hey there, mateys. I had done a pair of very basic kits before, a simple sailboat and a pirate ship, neither of much complexity. Around when the pandemic shut things down I finally resolved to start the Lightning Sailboat (1:12) kit from Dumas. That had been completed a few weeks ago (photos for the gallery in process); whereupon I learned my first mate, CFO and bestie had ordered the Ulises OcCre, 1:30, for my recent birthday, it came a month after. In the meantime, I found this resource (NRG/MSW) and hope to keep up a proper log as I begin the new project. There are some nuances to terminology perhaps some kind folk can enlighten me with: what is bashing? And is there a beginner / intermediate novice area? Oh and I had created my sign-in before thinking about it being kind of long and a bit obtrusive, so, allow some slack on that, ok? Before having family, and most of my career, I had completed many auto, aircraft, armor and other plastic kits, all for good. Working in wood is a special endeavor, as I found the Lightning kit at a local hobby shop’s going out of business sale - last century. I guess the CFO likes my modeling because it keeps me busy and chill. Yes, yes the wood had dried out a lot, and many parts were missing or had decayed. So much more creativity required!

    Although I probably have >60 years of modeling experience, only two years in wooden boats, as I had purchased a Dumas Lightning Sailboat >20 years ago from the  Jenkintown Hobby Shop that was going out of business. Covid comes along and I started it and have completed it lately. From what I read, I guess it was just about the right difficulty level, and I thoughly enjoyed it. So much that my lifepartner decided to get a more involved boat to step up to. Here we go! I've always wanted a challenge! Physics degrees, musician, learning Polish on Duolingo. More to come.

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.
