Hello, my name is Christopher and I'm starting down this exciting rabbit hole of building model ships! I'm a sailor by trade and have recently retired to Wyoming. I miss the sea, but I'm looking forward to continuing my love for the water by building various ships. I have recently invested in the Model Shipways Shipwright Series. I'm looking forward to starting on the Lowell Grand Banks Dory in the upcoming week. I have already picked up a copy of "The Dory Book" and have read most of it, and its been fascinating to learn about these boats. 

 

I'm looking forward to learning and growing in this hobby.

Welcome Christopher!  I’m a beginner as well, just starting on my third boat of the same series. There are plenty of people here that have built this series so you will be in good company. I highly recommend making build logs. I wish I had on my first two boats. It has forced me to slow down and really focus on making a better model. Plus it is nice to have it to look back on.  Most importantly, have fun!

Current build:  Sultan Arab Dhow

 

Finished:  Norwegian Sailing Pram, Lowell Grand Banks Dory, Muscongus bay lobster smack, OcCre Palamos, San Francisco Cross Section

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.
