  1. Fire survived clipper ship

    This is a model that I built while living aboard a 27'sail boat.

    After completion the model and the boat survived a fire aboard.
    Due to confined space the model is small only 8 1/2 inches from bowsprit to spanker boom. Fortunately only the rigging was lost ,so I had to re rig it later. Just the tip of the main Ta gallant shows scorch burns

  2. Untitled Album

    This brigantine started out as a from jut a hunk of wood I just whittled on . It came out OK si I decided to add some deck feature just made up in my mind. That looked OK so I got some mast and rigging plans for working trading vessel. after completion I decided to convert her to a whaler do some of the deck features had to go and a try works substituted. of course whale boats wit their associated gear was next. .. Well what the heck how, about a whale just ready to be cut in ? Of course a few crew running around would help too . But one definitely does not belong. Can you pick this one out and even what it was doing before shipping out on a whaler ?

  3. Gaff rigged sloop

    I intended that this 20" LOA represent a 30' boat. The model would be RC. The construction is the lift method with the inside carefully hollowed out. I followed no plan and carved what suited my eye. After getting the RC components installed and functioning I found the model even without the sails too "tender" and floating well below her "lines. A complete failure from the intended purpose. However it makes a nice shelf model and keeps the "Admiral " happy.

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.
