    HMS Granado, Plank-on-Frame, 1/48 scale CAFModel

    Hi all, my ship came in last week and of course I was eager to figure out, how it goes together. Here's the start: I was lucky to have a large 2.5cm thick board of Multiplex in my workshop which serves perfectly as a base for the build: I built the stem today and it went very well...

    HMS Alert by Olympic1911

    Cafmodels 1/48th scale HMS Bellona

    The HMS Bellona is no doubt one of the most appealing subjects to modelmakers, the original model once being on display in the NMM in London is frankly breathtaking! So far all we had was the rather aged Corel kit and also the card Shipyard kit in the same 1.96 or 1:100 scale. When I heared of a...
