    Hi Popjack... There are plenty of books on radio control and build, they all have their own slant to method. It might be a first call to see how others are building on Youtube and have a think on .... plank on frame or moulded hull...! Some build from scratch,, a set of plans and build as you go, working out when to put the prop shaft in and when to seal the hull for water proofing. I read an article in the magazine Model Boats on how to build a 1930 Australian Tug boat, got the plans and set about the build... Twelve months later it is still under construction. Hope this has been of some help, Ian

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.
