Received the Fly yesterday and at the moment looking at the plans and bits and pieces , this will be a lengthy project and looking forward to this project , it doesn’t come with a base and pedestals so will have to order them separately ASAP, also I follow my partner in crime Nomad (LOL) closely...

With my first build Bluenose II under the belt I thought I'd go for broke and have a crack at Amati's HMS Fly, a 1:64 scale model of the sixth-rate Swan Class ship rigged sloop that was originally built in 1776. It is a magnificent looking ship and it was a picture of the HMS Fly that drew me...

Had to wait a couple of months for my next project , the Lady Nelson , she is tiny in comparison to the ‘Cutty Sark ‘ I recently finished . just dry fit the bulkheads and false deck just to see what it looks like , so I will post more pictures with the build progress

Directions are in Italian, though kit includes an English 2 page help.

Wasn't sure I wanted to start a build, but reading others posts its seems like a good idea. Not sure I can keep it going, but will try. I haven't built a POB since 1984. I'm now 74 and it getting a little hard to see details. I do have a good magnifying headset with light that really helpsl...

Well here we go, my first build log. This is going to be a multiyear project as I am very slow at these things. I will not put together an unboxing video as there is already one on Youtube: I was thinking I would show a couple of pictures to start with. The first pic shows a sample of the...

So I was hoping to start building one of my POF kits from CAF but I have a couple models that I have already started and I know I should really work on them before starting another one :( I also have the Yuanqing Bluenose in work so I guess I need to work on my discipline and finish something...

I have followed Ken (Complete Build) blog which is excellent and been a big help to me. Ken's build was for a static display model and I'm building the same kit but for use on water. The instruction manual is bias towards a display model so having followed the instructions implicitly and Kens...

Another further kit finished in the middle of the pandemic time during the Italian lockdown: Amati's Endeavor 1/80 scale. Piero

Hello! I have started this build in the summer 2007... Radek

Just wanted to share a small story of my first model - Amati's Pegasus kit. Being my first one, I assembled it pretty much to the kit's instructions without much changes or improvements. Just replaced the ugly casted lifeboat with two bought and assembled separately. Here are some photos, as you...

Greetings fellow masochists!! This is my first build log on this forum. I had been using another site but it was all getting a bit prissy and perfectionist for me so I thought I would give this one a try. I have made a lot of models now so I won't list them all on a completed page. Suffice to...

Caravel, ships of Columbus, Pinta, 1410, 1:65 On the eightieth anniversary of my friend and my playing coach Harry, I want to make a small gift. I hope a month will be enough for work. And so we started... Каравелла, корабли Колумба, Пинта, 1410 год, 1:65 На восьмидесятилетие моего друга и...

Cabin Furniture In my, HMS Fly build I have incorporated the Great Cabin, Stateroom, and Coach Cabin, and into each of these cabins I have constructed 1:64 scale furniture using acetate film, and a combination of Paint Shop Pro graphic design and origami with a plastic film. A sharp craft...

Hello everybody. A few days ago I finally started building my model. I ordered the Vanguard Amati-Victory kit from my trusted dealer and after two weeks it arrived. Initially I found the kit very expensive but now, that I have seen the contents of the box, I think it is right. The wooden boards...

Medieval Spanish Coca - AMATI 1:60 Greetings to all the shipbuilders in this forum. October 2019 I decided to do another attempt in shipbuilding (the first was the Golden Star when I was a boy) and I chose the AMATI's Coca, because: 1) she's very nice and 2) she seems easy (but I realized it...

"FIFIE" just docked after 8 days from Turin to regional Victoria. When it is taking a week to get a letter across Australia I reckon DHL are absolutely amazing and the freight charge was only 25 euros. Opened the box, plans look good, instruction book looks good as well. The wood needs comment...

First Build: Amati HMS Vanguard 1787, 1:72 scale. I appreciate the opportunity to share my first build with the SOS community. I have very limited experience with wood ship modeling and hope to receive valuable advice from members. So, all tips and comments are welcome. A little background about...

Oh Happy Day!!! I am finally starting to put in place the pieces to begin this adventure in ship building and honouring my family history. I have mentioned in other logs that I was planning on doing a build based on a family historical event. As most historical events passed on through the...
