    Hi JJ thank you for your quick response. I would be delighted if you could add me to your pre-order list. Do you have a price yet? WR Albin

    I'm happy for you. I'm self-employed myself, so I can empathise with how it feels to take the next big step. And it's a big step from the garage to a proper workshop. Good luck in your new workplace!

    Of that I am firmly convinced with this remarkable project. Many more will follow. I don't want to be the only one, I just want to be the first...
  20. Strand
    Can I pre-order already? Or can you at least put me on the list so that I'm among the first five?

    And finally, a few impressions of life on the USS Constitution It was a wonderful first project that left me wanting more. So I immediately started my second project, the HMS Flirt from Vanguard Models. This will be my first real ship. I can already show you a photo of it... And hopefully many other projects will follow. One of them must be an "Admiralty style" ship and a POF in 1:48 scale. But before that, I would like to build the Surprise from Vanguard Models. Plans, plans, plans... Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. It has been a pleasure to be part of a larger community and to receive encouragement from experienced and veteran shipwrights. Goodbye and see you next time. Albin

    A little bit more rigging
  23. Strand
    So, after a long time, I'm continuing my career as a shipwright. I started with the shrouds; everything to do with ropes and blocks is completely new to me. I've bought a "few" books on the subject... And then we were ready to go. The assistant has already arrived and is waiting patiently for his assignment. By the way, this is my workplace, a box with a lid that can be closed. The first shrouds were installed, the first knots tied, the first ratline knotted – all completely new territory for me. But it's fun.
  24. Strand
    Thank you, your words make me happy and I will continue to strive to improve my skills. I am not yet a real shipbuilder, but I have already started building my first complete ship, the HMS Flirt, which is just the right thing to start with.
  25. Strand
    Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. You've inspired me to post some photos of the almost finished project.
  26. Strand
    I am very interested in purchasing HMS Portland. Keep me informed.

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.
