My first model was a wooden kit of a Jaguar and it has never stopped,Even in Vietnam . Watched my father build the Revell U.U.S Constitution .Built my first wood ship in 1976 After 6 builds completed I have purchased the Mantua Sergal 1/78 scale Cutty Sark , And this is the reason I joined this site .

Barry- Funny you should say that you even built models while you were in Vietnam.  I was in the hospital in Tan Son Nhut and they distributed model kits for us to build to pass the time. I got a large scale (I think 1/32) Aurora Huey Cobra gunship.  To be frank I don't actually remember building it.

 

I too started building models early, inspired by my father.  I seem to remember building an F-80 together and then I was off and running on my own as he died when I was twelve.  Cars (AMT customizing kits), aircraft, finished my first of two USS Constitutions when I was about 19.  Started doing armor and large scale planes and cars a few years ago, just finished another Revell Connie (Just used the hull - the rest is scratch built) and embarking upon my first wood kit.

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.
