Hey thought I'd introduce myself.

 

I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada, and work in a shipyard. Figured what better hobby to enjoy after building ships all day long than to come home and build smaller ships lol.

 

Been picking up tools and odds and ends for a few weeks while waiting for an HM Sherbourne kit I ordered from Vanguard to arrive. Looking forward to building said model and chatting here and there. 

 

Cheers

I work on the arctic offshore patrol ships at the moment, a few years from now we'll be switching to the river class destroyers. Not sure anyone is modeling the AOPS or type 26s just yet. Maybe someday!

 

I do see you completed a Bluenose build, and I did have the pleasure of seeing some of the Bluenose II refit awhile back. That was done about 45 minutes away from the yard I work.

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.
