The NMRA  Achievement Program gives you the opportunity to collect awards in many different categories while giving  you the opportunity to have your models assessed by experienced modellers who are always willing to provide the encouragement and advice you need.

The NMRA aims to help modellers develop new skills to further improve their modelling abilities.

“contests and AP assessments are a way to get objective feedback on your modelling skills and ability”
