    Hi, Our Constitution is based on 3 years' research by Larry Arnot, including interviews with Constitution Commander Tyrone G. Martin (Ret). Larry also scoured the log books from that period as well. Our kit has been deemed the most accurate representation of that period by the USS Constitution Museum. I also agree with Jose Gonzales about the lower sails being put up out of the way in battle. Best regards, Nic

    Hi, Unfortunately, Charlie passed away in Oct of '20 - Make the deck to fit the boat, or possibly the base of the stern is thicker than the top? Nic

    Hi,

     

    We here at BlueJacket were gifted the Soleil Royal kit, sans instructions. Is it possible you still have them? If so, we would gladly buy them from you.

    Hi Rob, Where did you get the 3-D printed 1/8" figures? They look great. Nic

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.
