First of all thanks for letting me join 

My name is Peter and I hail from Taunton Somerset in the deepest darkest West Country in the nose UK. 

I have been building floaty things for a number of years my main builds being the titanic. 

Currently on the go I have (wait for it) a 1/144 billing titanic the 1/250 hachette part work which is nearly finished I also have a revell 1/700 and the trumpeter 1/200 waiting in the wings. 

On the non titanic front in my stash waiting is the jacques cousteau calypso from billing boats and the original build the bismarck a nearly finished 1/96 uss constitution and a card hms victory (phew) 

Once again thanks for letting me join 

Here's a picture of my current project.

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.
