    Hello everyone, my name is Alessio Mandelli, and I'm from Italy. I've been working on the Sovereign of the Seas as a scratch-built model for the past 16 years. It has been a long and passionate journey, and I'm still making progress step by step. The model is made entirely out of wood, but heavily reinterpreted and customized. I have focused especially on the historical accuracy of the decorative elements following McKay's monograph. All the ornamental sculptures (figures, scrollwork, stern decorations, etc.) have been designed in 3D CAD software and printed in resin using a 3D printer, in order to capture fine detail at scale. Some elements have gone through multiple iterations until I was satisfied with the visual and historical result. This is my first post on Model Ship World, and I'd be very happy to share my progress, listen to your advice, and learn from your experience. Thank you for welcoming me aboard! Best regards, Alessio (Tuvok)

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.
