    Introduction to myself.  I’m 84 years old and have been retired for 25.  I have sailed most of my life starting in a 12ft dinghy in the South of England  finally

    single handed my 45’ Rob Ball designed vessel to the Hawaiian Islands and back.  Truly believe that the two finest days in a sailors life.areis the day you buy your boat and the day you sell her.  Life took over as it can.  I modelled a Bluenose which turned out OK then a RC P51 that I sold.

    I’’m about to start OcCr Ulises…..the tug.  Now I have the time, the space and the magnifying headset.  However my objective is to build an Endeavor having an abiding interest in Shackleton’s heroic exploits in and around Antarctica.  Again I’m leaning towards the OcCre kit unless convinced otherwise.  I will need all the help I can get as I find the rigging daunting for ageing hands.  Now off to finish a 1:24 Spitfire and discuss with my wife its final destination.  Seriously looking forward to interacting with MSW.

      Slight typo…….dugh!  Not the Endeavor but The Endurance ultimately lost in the ice but found 100 years later.

      Interested in any aftermarket deck accessories for both the Ulises and Endurance OccRe kits.

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.
