The minute I came across this kit by Lindberg, I thought how perfect this could be made to look like the Jenny from the movie, forest Gump. After looking at a few movie stills and watching countless times the boat scenes from the movie, I finally completed this build. I started work in March of...

While waiting for parts to arrive for my Jenny, I thought I'd do a quick build of this Koach. I loved the Addams Family and the Munsters shows. I did some wiring for plugs and alternator and added a radiator hose. What a fun project this was!

I would like to say that I hope everyone is taking precautions in using good hygiene throughout the day and keeping a safe distance from other people. Here's hoping that we all get thru this with good health and our country can get back on track when it is appropriate. Make the best of a forced...

While looking at model kits on Ebay, I came across this kit by Lindberg and Immediately thought of Forest Gump movie. So, $20.00 total, I picked up this kit and have started in. I've downloaded some pictures of of the "Jenny' from movie stills for my reference and the kit comes with some...

So here I go with a new project. After doing some family history on my great, great grandfather as an Infantry soldier and as a prisoner at Andersonville GA, I came across the tragedy of America's worst maritime disaster that involved the Sultana side-wheel steamboat on the Mississippi River on...

Since I moved to Atlanta 8 years ago, I discovered that my great grandfather served in the 3rd Division; 15th Army Corps; in the Army of the Tennessee under Sherman's command. He was captured during the battle of Resaca GA in May of 1864 and was sent to Andersonville Prison Camp in Ga. He was 16...

I finished up on my first wooden boat and I thought I would take a break by turning my attention to this little ship with a wonderful history. I purchased this kit from Hobbylinc and it arrived well packaged and intact. I read a review that said this was an old mold and expect some flash and...

I just came across this re-issue of the 1:95 scale Nantucket Light Ship by Lindberg. They say it is a level 2 model kit and measures 17 1/4 inches when completed. This looks like a great little plastic ship to build! I'd like to grab this one but I'm trying to figure out how I can hide it from...

Here are a few pictures of my 1st model ship build back in 2011. My father-in-law served aboard 3 submarines, the USS Halfbeak, the USS Atule and the USS Crevalle, and purchased this kit in hopes to build. He passed away before he opened the box and my wife and I inherited this kit along with a...

Short notice but the Tall Ships event will be in Pensacola, Florida this weekend ( April 12 - 15 ) and then again in New Orleans, Louisiana the weekend of April 19 - 22 of 2018. So far, it looks like six ships have confirmed. For those that can make it, ENJOY!!!!!

I'm really excited about my new kit from Model Shipways Inc that just arrived. I purchased the HMS Bounty Launch 1:16 scale for a good deal at 22% off and she looks wonderful. This will be my 1st attempt at building a POF kit. I originally picked up MS 1:24 scale English Pinnace to build but I...

I would like to thank whoever it may have been for my promotion in rank. ;) This site has some very talented members and I look forward to improving my skills in modeling. Cheers to all of you!

I just purchased Model Expo's HMS Bounty Launch 1:16 scale. Does anyone have feedback if I'm in over my head for my 1st plank on frame build? Also, are Model Expo instructions easy to understand? I was given the English Pinnace by Model Shipways as a gift but someone on a post said this kit...

A little over one year now with this kit. I've taken the liberty to add a few things such as a stove, opened up a gun deck hatch and added storage items and also installed a LED lighting kit with dimmer switch. I'm currently working on the 32 pound guns for lower deck. Here is a pic of the gun...

Here's a shot of my liberty ship build returning from sea. This was my first and probably my last build in this scale due to eye strain. This was also my first attempt at using PE parts (which I can truthfully say i ruined a few pieces). I tried to dirty her up as she was a WWll working supply...

It's been a while but I'm glad to be back and hope to complete my build on the Bluenose by Scientific. I was using Photobucket for posting pics but I found out they do not allow 3rd party posts, so I was unable to continue posts. I was also under the weather with 3 surgeries that left me feeling...

I stumbled upon this kit on Ebay and the price was right! I thought I would try my hand at my 1st wooden kit and went with a solid hull model. I noticed that this schooner seemed to have a lot of builds and information online. My wife was kind enough to purchase Frank Mastini's book "Ship...
