I'm finishing up work on the Yoda's Ark, then I will begin finishing up the Midwest tug boat orphan that needs a little love.

A friend offered me a Dumas Chris Craft Cobra kit, which is one that I have been itching to build. I was honored by one of my forum buddies with a Billings Calypso kit that I have been wanting for a while now. While in St. Thomas USVI I saw the Calypso once, but it was not close enough for me to really get a close look at her. But boy what I did see made a 16 year old boy dream fantastic dreams of sailing the high seas on her. The siren of the sea indeed cast a spell on me and I day dreamed of adventure and discovery that summer.

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.
