    Hi all, first time poster here. Really taken all this advice in, its great source of information, and been looking at all the kits listed vs there rankings in the other page where member voted in the different categories. (yes i am very deep in the rabbit hole!! haha). I think I'm closing in on something from Caldercraft, possibly one of there models around the 100 mark so I'm not over investing in something if I don't get one with it etc. My background is in multi skilled construction work and being on boats since i was very young, this includes working and maintaining them. I'm not a traditional trained shipwright by any means, but i have lots of knowledge of various boats and the rigging, construction etc. I have also built a fair few plastic model kits and some of the nasty push together wood types so I'm not completely new to model making just new to wooden ship building. After all that waffle (and likely poor grammar I know I'm sorry), my question would be do you think I'm on the right lines with my selection looking in the "some experience" section and possibly something from Caldercraft? I guess my main thinking was towards quality of materials and clarity of instructions. Don't mind paying a bit more if its high quality proper well sourced timber, not cheap and nasty full of knots splits etc etc. Thanks everyone and sorry again for waffling on!

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.
