    Hi everyone, due to a very long lockdown and shielding due to having a Kidney transplant 4 months ago (all went very well and so is recovery) I found myself with lots of time on my hands.

   About 2 years ago I was given an incomplete model of Billings ship Norske Love it was very well made in 1984 by an old friends father, up to the fitting of the rigging (the rat lines and supporting lines have been fitted but no other rigging). I put it to one side in my man cave with the intension of one day trying to complete it. In the meantime I also had an incomplete Artisania Latina ship Clara May which I had got up to completing the hull about 30 years ago.

  So with time on my hands I completed the Clara May, having bought and read a number of books on the subject, I know think it time to give the Norske Love a go, (I will start a separate completion build in the correct place).

Sorry for any confusion,

I have just check my profile, I thought my previous introduction in 2019 had been lost, when I changed computer I lost the contact details and having put the model to one side had forgotten that I had put it on the forum.  I do intend this time to continue with the project as explained I have lots of time on my hands now.

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.
