    Good morning/afternoon/evening all, Getting back into ship modeling after a long hiaitus. Went to a couple Washington Ship Model Society meetings 1999-2000, previous builds include the old Midwest kits, 1:350 Missouri, and 1:350 OHP frigate. Working on the Model Shipways Launch with the Vanguard Models HMS Sherbourne waiting (I started and abandoned the Caldercraft Sherbourne about 20 years ago). Served 10 years on active duty in the US Coast Guard including a couple years on the old Iris-class buoytenders. When I am not restarting my model shipbuilding, I write poetry. I have self-published a book of haikus in dad joke form titled "Dadkus" and if you want to see more you can go to this link for the book The build logs from you all are really inspiring

    Thanks Ryland. It has been enjoyable so far, plenty of problem solving for a little boat.

    Greetings all, Starting a build log for a bit of accountability for myself and to learn from all of you. I did 10 years active duty in the Coast Guard and hey the username was available so her I am. Starting with this model after a long hiatus from wooden ships, common refrain of kids and life. Next up on the slipways is the Vanguard HMS Sherbourne. Just finished planking and currently cleaning up the hull and frames. Updates will probably be infrequent due to travel-heavy work schedule.

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.
