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...

Everyone: Im somewhat jumping in half way through the dance with my build log. While Im working on the ratlines and shrouds and stays right now I thought I would post pics first of when the hull was close to done and take it from there. This pic was two years ago.. with work and life I havent...

I just have opened the box and there are buckets of parts wood eight sets of plans one colour book and a full size 1-1 plan. The first thing to do is I definitely the first five bulkhead's and the bow keel section it shouldn't be hard as there are only two keel sections as apposed to six on the...

Ok finally have my first wooden ship project underway. I’ve been wanting to start and reading about wooden ships for 10 years so it’s about time. First question as the first piece i handled already doesn’t match the plan, please see photo. Ive looked at many Swan class builds and this wasn’t...

Construction of the brig mercury model, legend of the Russian fleet

While waiting for additional rigging parts for my Mayflower build I opened the box for the Amati Viking longship. I have seen a couple of builds of Viking long ships and they are an interesting change of pace. Well once I opened the box I got sucked in a bit and after reading through the brief...

build in 2013 August 1814 Washington, the capital of the United States, has been devastated, the army defeated, the government forced to flee the city. The British troops under John Sherbrooke land on the coast of Main and, with incredible speed, occupy more than 35,000 miles of foreign...

As you know, I just completed the Royal William. The Prince was a ship that was remodeled into the Royal William in the very early 1700's. Amati had a nice kit about 40 years ago of the Prince, but discontinued it long ago. I searched for a source for many years and finally found a fellow...

While I was waiting for paint and glue to dry on my recently completed Swift build I decided to start on my next project, the Rainbow. It seems most folks have built the Endeavour which was the UK’s challenger to the America’s Cup in 1934. Endeavour had great success in the UK but ended up...

This is my build log for HMS Fly which I started 3 years ago. It's my first wooden ship model and something I've wanted to do for many years since I used to roam about in the Royal Navy Museums in Portsmouth Royal Dockyard back in the 70s. I was serving in the Royal Navy at the time and spent...

Well, it has been a while when i did my first wooden ship model. Few decades ago, while back in elementary school, i joined, at that time known as a "wooden ship model club". Basically a bunch of kids with a passion for ship modeling will gather together after school in the classroom dedicated...

This build log started some time ago - Christmas 2011 in fact, so this is going to start as a catch-up series of posts to bring things up to the present day. ************************************************************ HMS Vanguard 1787 The first POB model ship I built was the French corvette...

Hi to all :D I just finished my HM Brig Badger and was really looking forward to building a frigate, particularly Jotika's HMS Surprise but I don't know when they will ever release it so I got HMS Pegasus instead... she's not a frigate but her lines and ornaments are just as beautiful, plus...
