Greetings, I have finally decided to join this forum after years of wanting to dip my toes into wood modeling. I have been in the plastic modeling scene since I was a kid and have finished quite a few plastic ship models, but for some reason it has never occurred to me to actually build wooden ships until this year. I have already finished the Model Shipway's Lowell Grand Banks Dory kit and is currently rigging up the 18th century long boat kit. I also have a Billing Boats Norske Love kit in my stash that I am hoping to start soon after learning the ropes with these two kits.

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.
