    Rachel, Thanks, I know how you feel! My parents were avid subscribers of National Geographic and I grew up with Costeau’s adventures so when Billings came out with the Calypso, I just had to build it! Thanks again, Don

    Miles, You’re most welcome - I’m looking forward to seeing more of your build! Don

    Fuji, Thanks again for the kind words, I really appreciate it and am following your build with interest. The Billings Calypso is a bit of a challenge as it is crude by today's standards, the instructions aren't great, and it requires a bit of artistic license at times. For example, I really couldn't figure out the configuration of the winch/boom rigging forward of the deck house even after spending a bit of time looking at pictures published in National Geographic and available on the web, so what I built is a "best guess". My goal was to build a nice looking static dis

    Very nicely done, Matt - great job! Don

    Thanks, JJ, I appreciate it. I’m lucky to have a finished basement that I don’t have to share so I can spread out a bit. Of course my Wife says it just allows me to make a bigger mess! One of my kids did a stint as an apprentice cabinet maker and made a desk that fits me that I’ve really enjoyed. Don

    Congratulations on the guitar - been trying to get a new sax for a while but no luck! The Winnie could replace the Calypso, they’re about the same size, but I’d really like to figure out a way to display both..............

    Thanks, Rusty! Your build is my go-to when I run into a wall - I’m really impressed with what you’ve done with it and refer back to it on a regular basis! Don

    Thanks, Bob! And thanks for the likes! I showed it to my wife the other day and her comment was: “that’s pretty, and where exactly do you intend to put it?” LOL, Don

    Not sure why, but am having problems adding photos............

    I’ve been making steady progress and have finished planking the deck. I was initially a bit confused about the pattern, but with lots of references back to Rusty’s and Bob’s builds, I figured it out and am very much looking forward to moving on to making the gunport doors. As I also build in plastic, I have quite a stash of left over photoetch brass bits and pieces and have picked out several pieces that are the right dimensions to make the hinges. Merry Christmas, Don

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.
