    That’s great to hear, I was actually eyeing the vanguard models as well.

    Hello all, I've been doing plastic models for the past couple years, mostly WW2 tanks and aircraft, and I see wooden ships as a natural evolution of that hobby. Also, I read a great book called "The Wager", which got me really interested in all things wooden ships, especially maritime history. I'm majoring in History and am even considering doing a bit of extra focus into this area. Master and Commander is also my favorite movie/book series I'm giving myself a budget of $150 to get started. The Model Shipways Shipwright 3 Kit Combo Series seems to be a good pick, as it includes all the tools I'd need, as well as 3 basic ships. Do you guys have any other suggestions on a good ship(s) to start with? My goal ship is the Occre whaler Essex, and it seems to have very complicated rigging so maybe I ought to start with something more technical for the practice. Great to be here!

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.
