If you see a web sight with pictures of OcCre ship models for sale for a ridiculous low price, it really is too good to be true. Try them again but do not order any ship models that seem really cheap. It's a scam. Norgale

I've started to build the American Enterprise (52") since the Great Republic is at a stand still waiting for supplies. The AE kit is a Dumas kit that I've had for about 27 years and started about ten years ago. I had so much trouble with the kit plywood delaminating that I stuck it all in the...
Having been following Richard Dunn's thread about building his large scale ships I have decided to go ahead and at least start my 'grand slam model of my life' and see if I can get it built. I don't know why but I.ve had it in the back of my mind to build a very large model clipper ship and the...
Wondering if anyone lives in New England or up in Nova Scotia? Hurricane Lee is up there now and although it has diminished it's still kicking butt up there. Wuld like to hear from anyone about what's going on up there and anyone on Cape Cod too. The Cape was my home for many years and I recall...
I can usually just type an S in my search bar and I get Ships of Scale drop down and click that and get to here. This afternoon I saw that SoS is on Farce book so I went there to see what was there and now when I go to the S I can only find FB. Nothing there to get to this web site. I have to go...
I'm working on a plastic boat kit of a missile patrol boat and there are several photo etched parts that I have no experience in dealing with. Looking for advice on how to remove the parts from the brass sheet without squishing it and what in the world would you use to make all those tiny little...

The trumpeter HMS Hood is another 1/350 scale model and will build out to 30 3/4" long. As usual it's highly detailed but is an easier model to build with less parts than a...
