As many of you may be aware, the Bicentenial of the War of 1812 is currently taking place. As part of this event, The American Society of Marine Artists has produced a video of the conflict which includes models of ships - some built by NRG and MSW members. 

 

The website http://naval-war-of-1812-illustrated.org is devoted to chronicaling the War of 1812 from the maritime aspects of Canada, Great Britian, and the United States.

 

The video is broken into various segements that highlight specific theaters of the war which makes viewing it a more interesting and useful experience.

 

I would like to thank Charles R. Robinson, Exec. Producer and Director for his request that ship modelers from various places participate in this production. 50 individual modelers/artists have helped out with this production.

 

Clicking on the provided link will take you to the Introduction Page of the video. I have also attached their .pdf file with further information regarding the video as well as an art exhibit relating to this important topic.

Thanks for sharing Hank.

 

I saw you were also one of the MSW builders with the ship Peacock.

Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

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.
