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...

Hello. I am going to build the Amati Riva, Aquarama, an Italian runabout. Although it can be built for radio control I will be making it a static display model and will mostly just show my progress rather than do a very of detailed log of the build. I’m just putting the final touches to my...

It was suggested that I do a build log since I am just starting out, so despite a deep dislike of making public mistakes, I will do so in the spirit suggested. It will make me a better person (more humble anyway). I started this week on the model after studying the video tutorials recommended...

Well I think I'm ready to tackle something a little more complicated. I haven't seen a Pegasus build log posted for a while so I will start one. Bought the kit as well as Bob Hunts practicum so ready to start. First thing I noticed when the kit arrived was the weight, maybe 5 pounds or more. I...

I just bought a Sampang from Amati. For my first production in wood, I chose a model simple enough to discover this type of assembly.

20200911 Yesterday went to visit the local hobby shop without any clear intention to purchase a new kit but if I saw one I just couldn’t pass up… Came away with the Amati Chinese Pirate Junk. POB so my first planking kit. Opened the box when I got home, perused the drawings and instructions...

Hi All, I would like to show you my new build I have very recently started. My first build was the Swift 1805 by Artesania Latina, and I decided to try a different manufacturer as I wasn't too thrilled with the instructions that were provided on my first build and i struggled with quite a few...

Hello friends of the shipmodel! Due to illness I have to drove back and more slowly. So I renewed my first non pure plastic kit of the COUREUR by Amati. I tortured this kit 25 years ago and lost it an increcibly unlucky accident on a removal - when a shelf fall on the model in its card box...

The Pinta keel at my shipyard was laid down on July 1 (2019).

I finally received my HMS Fly yesterday and after much review am excited to share this build log with everyone. These first 4 photos represent punch out, dry fit, sanding in various locations to get a comfortable fit, and finally glue up. Had it not been for information from this group as well...

This will be my build log for the Lady Nelson. My plan is to finish in short time as it is going to be a gift so hopefully I don't burn out and I do get it done on time. There will be some bashing done, mainly changing some of the kit wood to try and avoid some of the painting. I started this...

My wife being Scandinavian, I decided to do a Viking Longship as my next project. Problems have already arisen. First, the keel was warped so after glueing in the ribs, I added some stiffeners between each of them. Then I put in some reverse bend and left it in the jig for a day. Thankfully most...

I have not posted a build log for some time so I thought it was time. I have started the Victory Models Kit Revenge 1577. It is a classic Race Built Galleon Warship of the Elizabethan Navy. I started the model six months back and set it aside to build a smaller model for my Granddaughter...

Hi all thought I would do something a little different while I'm waiting for the glue to dry on the vanguard I just started by dry fitting all frames and deck before I start and to mark the hull lines .now I've just glued the 2 ends .This should be interesting Cheers snowy

A review of the Swan-class sloop model, Pegasus, designed by Chris Watton and produced by Amati under their Victory brand. Part 2. The Rest. There are six reels of black thread, seven reels of natural and four hanks, one black and three natural, including anchor hawse rope. None of the...

A review of the Swan-class sloop model, Pegasus, designed by Chris Watton and produced by Amati under their Victory brand. Part 1 Inside the reasonably stout box, the larger laser-cut items are all contained and protected inside plastic bags. There are separate bags for the copper plates and...

So here I am, writing a build log again, though it is the first time on Ships of Scale. I started all my ship builds with a purpose; I learned the process with the AVS practicum, developed technique and accuracy with the Granado, painted with exotic woods to achieve color differentiation with...

Hello folks! I introduced myself in the appropriate part of the forum the other day and promised to begin a thread documenting the trabaccolo I am building, which is a beginner skill level kit by Amati in Italy. This is not only my first attempt at a wooden model, but also my first attempt at a...
