    Thanks for the welcome Casey. Also thanks for the info on Hub Hobby. I hadn't really thought about seeking out an equipped hobby store in the area but will try to get in there...better to see the stuff than just look at the pictures online for Model Expo's stuff! Moving slowly here...

    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions everyone. I did some more research and decided to lower my ambitions a little...ended up getting the HMS Bounty Launch from Model Shipways. Price was right and will let me do a not too expensive plank on frame for first attempt...now just accumulating the needed tools...then a deep breath and start!

    Thanks for all the helpful comments! I am thinking that the siren song of "cheap" may not be the way to go (ie sparse plans, misleading measurements). I shall continue studying the books while saving more treasure to buy a kit with more accurate detail and instruction.

    Hello All. I am just getting geared up to start that first build. I see Model Expo is selling the Corel Ranger kit at quite a discount. Any opinions on this for a first build?

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.
