    Hey everyone! I spent my teenage years sailing during summers and building ship models during winters. I built several fairly complex plastic and wooden kits. It's been more than a decade, but I'm feeling the urge again. However, I still remember that I absolutely hated working on hulls (I don't find it fun) nor do I really have the time for it currently. But I love masting, rigging and detailing, so I still want to build something. So I was wondering, if anyone would have any recommendations for kits with somewhat readily usable hull kits of top sail schooners, brigs, brigantines or other nice fairly modern sailing vessels? I'm aware of the discontinued amati Roger B. Taney, which, seems to be exactly what I'm looking for and there is one on ebay, but I don't know if the hull is usable as is?

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.
