    I have some silver birch logs I cut down last year , about 3 to 4 inch dia and was wondering if they would be suitable for making the frames for a 1/48 H M S Cumberland 1774.I,ve made some trial frames and they seem quite stable at the moment.Any advice would be greatly welcomed. Paul

    The photo below shows the stern gallerys with only one open gallery, as shown in the deck plans. this is unusual i know. could it have been after the battle of St Vincent. when elaberate stern decoration was being reduced.

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.
