    Building the Biling Oseberg Viking long boat

    Hi. I've just finished the 1:25 Biling kit, which was another Xmas present from the wife. Bless her! I think she gets me these kits as a punishment. If anyone is interested, I will do a build log, like I did for my African Queen model. Until then , hers are a few pictures of the boat in its...

    Andrea Gail - Billing Boats 1:30 -- New Build

    I decided to build the Andrea Gail because I liked the movie, I think the boat is nice looking, and I wanted to work on something that would be a lot easier and take less time before jumping into a tall ship build. I've never posted a picture of my work on ships on any forum. Even though I...

    The Norske Love" by Noël Luc Build log

    Two months ago I started building my first boat "The Norske Love". Probably too ambitious! In the basement of my house I set up a working environment to build the boat. Then I installed all the ribs. Assembly of the first deck with underlying space and stairs. Assembly of the next...

    Mayflower 1/64 - Billing Boats

    I bought this kit at a thrift store. It had the upper planking done (darker wood) and I have been plugging away at it for a few months. Getting close to closing it in. It has been a learning experience for a first attempt at a wooden ship. Oh, and an inventory of the box indicates that nothing...

    Mary Ann by Billing Boats 472 - Build log

    Hi, I’m building Billing Boats Mary Ann (kit no. 472). This kit is rated as ‘Advanced Beginner’ by Billing and I think that’s probably a reasonable description of my skills as this is my first boat build, but I’ve been building planes from balsa, and other kits, on an occasional basis for more...

    Norske Løve, Billing Boats, Scale 1:75

    Hi Folks, time has come to start my build log for the Norske Løve from Billing Boats. I started building this ship many years ago, might have been the mid 80's or something like that.

    Billings St. Roch - 605 RCMP Arctic Patrol boat

    Santa has been kind to me , looking forward to making a start on this model of a truly historic vessel. St. Roch was designated a national historic site of Canada because: she became the first ship to cross from the Pacific to the Atlantic by the North West Passage; she was also the first ship...

    Billing Boats - East Indiaman Götheborg 1:100

    Look what I've found! I've been looking for a kit of the East Indiaman Götheborg for a while and it seemed the only kit made was the 1:100 scale version from Billing Boats, however it has been discontinued for a while and sold out in all of Europe. Switching from Google to DuckDuckGo, I found...

    Nordlandsbåt - Billing Boats

    Thought of starting this thread as well, whilst practicing for my wisløff nordlandsboat which i am in a sort of a standstill and unsure of how to proceed with it. The box. The box photo could maybe have been a bit better, but otherwise nice and surprisingly sturdy box! (I am gonna need a...

    La Toulonnaise 1823 - French schooner - Billing Boats 1:50

    I will log a few notes on my build here. This kit was given to me after passing through a few hands, the original owner requested it be built as it had to be shelved after he barley started it. I think the scale is 1:50 but nothing is obvious on the box except it's made in Denmark. It would...

    I will not be starting my next build for a while but I thought I would give it a “heads up” now that I have the kit in the shipyard. Part 1 - Start of a Long Voyage Choice of Kit - an Odd (or Familiar) Story? The windjammers/clippers from the mid to late 19th century have always...

    So I will preface this by saying that there is a kit out there I said I would purchase and am still very much in want of that kit. So please do not think me starting this log is in no means me not still wanting to purchase the kit. Now onto the start of this post here. So some background... I...
