    Hi guys, First of all, Happy New Year to everyone! I think it's about time I introduced myself to the club. I joined over 7 years ago when first looking at making a model ship but it all looked way too complicated for me so didn't get around to doing anything. The desire to build a wooden ship has remained with me and at the start of the our first lockdown back last March I took the plunge an bought HMS Ballahoo. I used this forum extensively during the build and don't think I would have got through it without access to the build logs. I didn't make a build log myself as I didn't have the confidence that I would finish the build. To be honest I thought I would make a bit of a mess of it and leave it partially made. However, I did complete it and think I made a reasonable job of it. Now I have my next model ready to go, HMS Beagle (OcCre). This time I'll start a build log. Chimp

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.
