The current status of my S.O.T.S. I'm working to finish up the sheets for the spritsail, but I needed to mockup the anchors to check for minimal interference when it's time rig them. I've included a photo link of her from the beginning, along with my other builds. Thanks for the much-appreciated...

So it begins. I completed my first ship with added rigging details - HMB Endeavour. I learned an enormous amount, and could spend hours listing all the errors in the kit. Nevertheless, it looks OK if you are not an expert! Now I will start the Golden Hind - with HiS model decks, blocks, sails...

Good morning to all, New week, new life new, things. It is time for a ship again (and in between some 28 mm figures). For my next project I have decided to do the HMS Fearless. The plan is to unbox her this week (or at least to get her out of the stash), have a good look at the instructions...

Greetings all, So far, things are going well with my first ever larger scale build. The Hull glued together relatively nicely, with a few deck warps that required some attention. I'm taking my time on the detail painting, but so far it's a blast. Mostly sticking with the recommended color scheme...

Hi, I'm Juan from Uruguay. I'm 37 and I've been getting back to making plastic models. I haven't done this since my early teenage years although I have Made many paper models. It's hard making time for it in between playing guitar, surfing, training everyday and rock climbing but every chance...

After the diappointment with the Airfix 1/600 Graf Spee due to a paint work going very bad, I have decided to start some work with the Airfix Vintage Classic, the HMS Hood. I have started as not per instructions with the hull and had some significant challenges to put is together without...

Hello, I recently purchase an Airfix 1/12 scale Bentley Blower. I'm starting this log not because I'm starting the build, that's many months away but because I wanted to talk a bit about the ground work I'm doing and the route I intend to take. This is an old model dating back to the 70's...

It's been three months and finally...the finish. There's not much more I can add to this, except that I'm delighted to have experienced this journey (relative to ship design) that has spanned a good 40-50 years - if my childhood is taken into account. To have been commissioned to build models...

Part One With two months remaining on this current build of the vintage kit HMS Prince, I've decided to post a few images to show how beautiful plastic kits can be with a little patience and the correct mindset of evaluation. Airfix was one of those early companies that introduced some of the...

I decided to build another 1/600 Airfix kit, RMS Queen Elizabeth 2. This kit is also kind of hard to find and a bit pricey. The box is a little messy but the kit is complete and in good condition.
