    Your Victory looks great! Are you sure you are a newbie!? Welcome. I am originally from Portsmouth, Viginia where there is a great maritime tradition including being the location of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. I have been a follower of this website for many years and build ship models in my very limited spare time (busy physician with a big family) I have not had time to post a build log but hopefully will do so when I retire. Its a wonderful hobby!

    Thank you for the advice. I decided to purchase the Caldercraft kit. It arrived in four days from across the pond! Looks like a great kit. Instructions good. Plans and diagrams very thorough.

    I am looking for advice. It seems that nearly every manufacturer offers a kit of the Endeavor. Do you have any recommendations on which to purchase, especially as regards to quality of materials and clarity of instructions. Thank you.

    In follow up, I used the glue stick followed by a couple of coats of artist's spray fixative. Worked great. Thanks!

    I am building the Mamoli Golden Hind. My kit came with the printed cardstock ornamentation rather than the older kits painted wood. Does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to glue/adhere the cardstock to the planking? White glue? Spray adhesive? Thanks

    Randy I am just starting the Mamoli Golden Hind. Your build log is quite an inspiration! I have a question concerning the bulkheads. How do you remove the extensions without damaging the planking? The instructions are not very helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work Steve

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.
