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.

Hi Erik,
You may find the following link to Bill Maxwell's completed Swan class build of assistance. It has 247 high definition pictures taken during Bill's build of HMS Fly.

You will see that the edge between each of the planks forming the Stuff of the Topside is flush. The sheer strake immediately above the Stuff of the Topside is proud to the plank below and above it, ie similar to the main wale. This treatment appears consistent with the text of David Antscherl's TFFM, Sections 7.17, 7.19 and 7.20, and also consistent with the photo CD accompanying the kit, eg refer photos IMG3359, 3422 and 3432.
Hope this helps,
Terry
