Hello Friends! After a bit of an internal struggle as to whether or not I wanted to create another build report, here I am back in a familiar spot (but on an unfamiliar side of the forum). One of my particular flaws is I don’t like to do the same thing twice. My first ship model was a...

Greetings, from Lake Pontchartrain, outside of New Orleans. The Boudriot/Berti monograph arrived the day before the mobile workshop left Colorado. Shipyard supervisor poured over the plans and sawdust will fly tomorrow. The first major decision was the room/spacing of the frames: 1. 10...

Greetings Group, Welcome to the start of my newest project - La Renommee in 1/48. I am putting my supply of Swiss Pear, Boxwood and newly acquired Black Hornbeam to good use on my favorite frigate. Many of you have seen my log of Le Gros Ventre in 1/36 from a couple of years ago. This...

Hello guys, this is Victor from Modelship Dockyard. This is a new build log for the 1/48 HMS Enterprize. Unlike my previous posts, this thread represents more of a personal work rather than representing our brand. Therefore, unlike prior pilot builds , I will be building this model using the...

Friends, Today I start the build. I had been thinking for a while that a building table with T-tracks would be very helpful for this big project. I bought a pre-made Melamine T-track board 1" x 40" x 26" from Rockler with a few clamps and accessories to fit on the rails. Rockler has a multiple...

Hi folks. New kit, new log. The long awaited new kit from Modelship Dockyard, HMS ENTERPRISE in 1:48 scale. The kit arrived safe and sound and in perfect condition. Thank you Victor and DHL for a great service. Zoly has already done a superb unboxing. I can´t match it so I´ll skip that part...

I guess I’m in for a GB. My Kit arrived yesterday (the 18th). Took a look last evening. Not too much info relating parts to the plan. Hunted around the kit today & found all of the keel & deadwood parts & punched them out & layed out the keel system. Lucky I know my way around a set of plans...

I am based in Ukraine and have built several sailboats using Amati and Korabel materials. My dream is to build a sailing boat from scratch. In 2019, I acquired the Gerard Delacroix monograph and Adrian Sorolla textbook from Ancre. While I don't possess the skills required to build from the...

Hi folks, this is Victor from Modelship Dockyard. First of all I want to wish you all, a happy Chinese/Lunar new year! It’s the year of Loong (Dragon). I know a lot of you are waiting, i’ve received many messages and emails about this kit. Now, as a “festival gift”, I’m now bringing you guys the...

Welcome everyone to sail with us again. This time, a brand new Hu design and processing method were adopted. In the subsequent journeys, I will introduce to you one by one. Thank you to our great designer "Song Shuang" Part 1: Keels

The size of the model is 1160X270X340 (mm). The dock of the model is composed of 4 segments. The maker can choose to make the model into 4 segments or as a whole.

Restoration & Upgrading of the frigate HMS BOREAS (1774) scale 1:48 (1,4 m / 55 inch long)

During preparation of the complete hull kit of the french 8 pdr frigate, Tom from CAF got the idea to prepare a small kit of one section of the gun deck. In addition CAF is able to give the new series of figurines a good platform - so the small battle station is fully manned with 10 figurines...

Привіт друзі. Я новачок на форумі. Вирішила відкрити нову тему. Англійська не є моєю рідною мовою, тому я прошу вибачення за граматичні помилки перекладача Google. Інформації про це судно мало, якщо хтось має більше даних, буду радий допомагати. В основі лежить модель з музею та креслення з...

Hi Everyone, I've been trying to work my way up through different skill level kits to get to, some day, be able to build my own plank-on-frame scratch model. Now there seems to be a number of nice POF kits in quality hardwood from China and I, perhaps foolishly, decided to cut the line. I had...

Hello everyone, I have posted finished projects before, but have never completed a build log. This will be my first. Plans from Ancre. So far I have worked on the bulkheads and frame. Used Poplar for internal structure. Deck is going to be in Maple. Unsure what I will use for the hull...

Editorial note added following the completion of this build: This build report is quite long - unhelpfully so. If you're not interested in all the details and just want to see how it all turned out use this link to see the final result: Final Images #1 and here: Final Images #2. Of course, you...

this will be a design and build project of the Sultana based on the Model Shipways kit, not a build log of the kit but "based on the kit"
