There are template files around here in Subsim if you want to DIY. (like the link in my signature) They precede Sub Buddy and it is based on them. So you can make a cardboard physical implementation of it. It won't be exactly like the Sub Buddy disks. Sub Buddy is made with it's own twist on it. On the TADS side it uses 2 orders of magnitude per scale (as opposed to 1 order of magnitude) and adds a tangent scale.

I agree that the dark brown relative bearing disk should be rotatable for easier use. With my physical template disk I grab and hold the (white) compass disk with the AOB disk and other pointers clamped together to set ownship course by turning the brown disk underneath.
