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.

Bob,
It's been a great pleasure reviewing your build log of the Bluenose by Model Shipways. I am trying to build it myself. I do not have your skill level but I'm trying to increase my skills I have a problem and I wasn't sure where to post it. I am trying to follow Bob Hunt's practicum and now I'm trying to install the Jumbo Boom Crutch and Hoisting Machinery Support. In it he says "There are two end pieces, a large gear and a small gear and two bearings.The bearings were not attached to my assembly nor were one of the two end pieces." In my kit both end pieces are attached along with the small gear. If I have to cut off one of the end pieces, drill a hole to reattach it after I insert the large gear it will be too narrow to attach to the posts that have been glued to the laser cut top part. I emailed Tom at Model-Expo and he said that tahe is the way the part comes. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Ralph
