    Marmite across the North Sea in the U.K. Håkan! We have Vegemite down here! John

    Having wrecks washing up on beaches seems to be becoming quite the thing! John

    She's really looking the 'ant's pants', Håkan. John

    Not quite sure what you mean by 'under', Paul. The line would normally go straight up over the rail to the pin. John

    What an interesting project, Nils. I think that's the first lightship I've seen with a clipper bow! John

    Just found your log. What a fascinating build - with lots of technical problems to play with! John

    Gary, I've finally caught up with your lovely build. That hull looks very nice indeed, and I love your plank bending tool - I think I'll see if I can find something like that our here. You ask about the planks being flush with the stern. Yes, in all boats or ships I have experienced, the planking lies flush. John

    A beautiful display for a beautiful model! John

    Dovetail joints even! So now it's cabinetmaker Håkan! John

    hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That's a very nice looking steam launch you're building there! John

    She's looking first class, Keith! John

    Ah, well, if it's the Amerigo Vespucci, Underhill would be a much better option, and you can still pick up a fairly cheap second hand copy! John John

    Linda, if you're serious about learning about the rigging of 'period' ships, you might perhaps start with a copy of "The young Sea officers Sheet Anchor' by Darcy Lever. This book was first published in the first half of the 19th century by a professional seaman and has copious illustrations with good descriptions. You should be able to pick up a good second hand copy of one of the many reprints for $30 or less (for a first edition you'll need to take out a second mortgage). John

    That looks a very nice yacht, Håkan. Is that your family on board? John

    Keep at it, Greg! You'll get there. John

    That hull's looking really good, Melissa. John

    Coming along nicely, Håkan! John

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.
