    You are going to hate me for this but as an Alfa owner with a 45 year history (currently own a 65 GT coupe) and also have several Pocher kits, please please get rid of the imitation wood dash panel. It makes the car look like a replica kit car. No Alfa spyder was ever made with that. All panels were painted black or silver or in some cases the body color.

    Hah! I also reverse engineer classic car parts. Last job was replacing Tucker cylinder heads cast in aluminum. No I did not do the casting.

    I have just joined. I am retired bench jeweler with 45 years of metal working experience. Soldering,forming,casting,etc. At the moment I am building a 1986 torpedo boat,the SMS Sperber. The hull and structures are printed but there is a lot of other metal work involved. Photo shows the rudder and skeg is made out of copper sheet. I have also cast some stanchions in 1/25 scale for the boat.

    Hello fellow builders,modelers. I am in the process of building a 1/25 scale 1886 SMS Sperber. The model is printed on a Prusa printer in sections. The hull sections are 7.5 inches and there is 9 of them. The hull is done and primed. The drive train is being installed. It has been a long project with many re visions. The rudder and slag is made out of copper sheet.

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.
