    I purchased a Billings Cutty Sark kit in 1985, while in the UK. This kit traveled with me back to NZ, sailed with me across to Australia in 1989, and now retired, I have both the time and space to commence it. I served my apprenticeship as a Wooden Ship and Boatbuilder in NZ and in my years of boatbuilding, I have acquired a lot of Teak, Kauri, Honduras Mahogany and other timbers and these will probably replace the majority of the timber in the billings kit. I have a set of the Campbell Drawings and I scanned these and scaled them up 162% to match the size of the Billings Drawings and at that stage, decided to loft out the hull, doubling up on the frame spacing of the billing model build from these drawings. I am now at the fairing stage and have the deck cut out and marking out details before laying the teak deck.

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.
