    Hi there, I recently started building wooden ship, but have been building models (mostly plastic) since I was a kid (with a big break between my 20s to 50s). Main reason for me starting, is that I am about to retire soon, and felt that this hobby would be great for me, despite some challenges, I am blind in one eye, which sometimes makes it harder to do things like rigging, as you can imagine. I have started with what I believe is a fairly simple and easy model (Virginia Schooner from Artesiana Latina), I have already tried to do some modifications of my own, which I thoroughly enjoy doing! I am initially intending to use this website more as a guide to help me overcome my mistakes (yes, I’ve made a lot). I am soon to stat the rigging, which I believe will be my biggest challenge, but I think this model should be a good introduction, I don’t believe it is too complicated. Thank you for accepting me to this forum, I am looking forward to learn a lot Andreas

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.
