    I left the Endeavor behind, but sending the Endurance from Tanzania to the US (it was a gift for my dad) was quite the task! I had someone wrap it in a bubble wrap sling full of shredded paper and combine a few cardboard boxes to hold it. Then I someone had to bring it back as a checked bag on their flight to America. Apparently the Tanzanian airport employees thought this was VERY funny.

    Hello! I'm writing from my current home in Tanzania, but originally from Virginia. One of my grandfathers was a model ship builder himself, the other was a naval architect, and one of my uncles is a nautical painter, so it was somewhat inevitable I'd try picking this hobby up at some point. I'm currently working on my sixth ship. The first was a very old-school model with only vague instructions, and I had to give it up after the first planking. The second and third turned out just ok, and I ended up throwing them away to conserve space in my house. Finally, my fourth was the Artesania Latina Endurance, which I picked because of the comprehensive instructions and design for lighting. It may offend purists a bit because I ran out of time before moving overseas, and had to leave off the lanterns, ship's boats, and a few other details. Next, I completed the Occre Endurance, which I picked for the subject: Now moving on to the Artesania Latina Bounty, which is a monstrous kit. I'm looking forward to getting help from the experts here as I work through it!

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.
