    Thanks Phil🙂

    Thank you for all that information, lots of food for thought there. palmerit: I will have a better look at Vanguard, look good on quick glance. Have fun with Lady Isabella. Chris: Your right, I only mentioned that I enjoyed the planking. I think I would prefer ancient with as little rigging as possible, or at least ones with better instructions than the Roar Ege for the rigging. Gregory: That 3 kit combo looks really good for the price. I like the way they step up in skill level. Johnny: I did quite fancy the Oseberg, or maybe another try at the Roar Ege. It's just that I am recently retired and looking at a few 'hobbies', and cost is an issue. I do like the fact that modelling can be done inside in winter. I don't have the luxury of a heated workshop. Oh! My workshop is the garage - big door and cold.

    Hi all. I am new to modelling and even newer to Model Ship World, so hi. I have already made the Billing Boats Roar Ege 1/25 scale (took me over 20 years, but there was a large gap) and now want to look at my next build. I prefer to work with wood and quite enjoyed the planking of my Roar Ege. I made mistakes and probably bit off more than I could chew, so I thought I would consult yourselves. What would you suggest my next build be?

    Hi all. New here, had to join as you all helped me finish my Roar Ege. I purchased my kit over 20 years ago, started it and gave up. Now retired and am more mature and have time to kill. I stripped what I had done and started again. Still not perfect but I hope to have another go. Maybe with oak, if I can get sheets thin enough. I finished mine off with dark oak stain and linseed oil and added a Viking and cargo. Thanks once again for your assistance, reading this blog really helped me finish it.

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.
