Depuis Février 2022 je me suis investi dans la construction de La renommée 1744 de CAFMODEL. C'est un excellent kit de construction et Tom de CafModel n'est pas avare d'aide en cas de besoin. Je vais donc publier des photos de l'avancement des travaux qui sont rendus presque à la fin de la...

NEW BUILD LOG OF CAF'S 1:48 CROSS SECTION OF HMS GRANADO The Rosas Houston Shipyard is currently on the last stages of three ships: CAF1:48 HMS Enterprize, La Coureur, and Trident's 1:48 HMS Alert. The shipyard started operations in December 2019, and has been building intermittently (sometimes...

Good afternoon. I thought I would start a log for my Enterprise build. I bought the CAF models 1:48 kit made primarily from Cherry wood. I am impressed with the quality of the kit with everything packed and presented very professionally. Let the photos do the talking : The instructions are...

I got the La Belle POF kit after considering other kits and ships. I’ve wanted to build this ship for years so here goes. First thing I built the jig and next is cleaning the char off parts I’ll use immediately. A small ship in 1/48 is a small model. Looks great though. Clean cuts and very nice...

Apparently I stepped over to the dark side... )):= after many scratch builds and "old" type bashed kits I try myself in this very promising CAF kit. I ordered it as soon as Tom reported it being ready, a couple of weeks ago and it arrived today, after only 5 days delivery time from China, which...

Hello everyone, I'm back again. I've been busy with other things these days and don't have much time to build ship models. When I saw CAF produced the new La Renommee Long Boat, I got it as soon as possible. This is the most complete restoration kit I've ever seen, so I recorded the production...

Hi All. A new year, a new project, CAF Model's 1:48 scale HMS GRANADO, full hull PoF kit. Just about everyone is now familiar with this kit due to the great reviews and build logs already existing on the S.o.S. site, but for those not, before l get into the build proper, l would like to do a...

Bonjour, Et voilà, je me lance dans le modélisme d'arsenal avec le modèle 'La Belle' kit CAF au 1/48. Je pratique le modélisme ferroviaire à l'échelle G en vapeur vive. J'ai monté mes locomotives achetées en kit. Pourquoi 'La Belle' : c'est un petit modèle par la taille (pas beaucoup de place...

During preparation of the complete hull kit of the french 8 pdr frigate, Tom from CAF got the idea to prepare a small kit of one section of the gun deck. In addition CAF is able to give the new series of figurines a good platform - so the small battle station is fully manned with 10 figurines...

Good Day All After reading some trully great posts here from Uwek and Stan167, just wanted to share my work on the CAF Granado section. Some minor mistakes in the kit, already mentioned by previous builds. Had to disasemble and remake no 14 due to a xerox bad misalignment. So far pretty...

Folks, My new Project has arrived, after completing CAF HMS Enterprise. From order to arrival was just 17 days. I decided to build this kit as I was impressed with the Quality and Detail of the CAF Enterprise. Sections 1-4 have arrived, which is just the keel, frames and jig. CAF( Tom) will...

Fellow modellers This is my diary of building La Salamandre 1752 using a kit purchased from CAF. La Salamandre may not as popular as some other ships, but there are enough examples being built on forums so I am not completely by myself. I like the idea of a partially planked hull showing...

OK team, I am starting this thread now as I have some work going on behind the scenes before I open my Christmas 22 present. I have purchased Session 1 of the CAF Bellona kit; a Third Rate 74 gun ship of the line in 1:48 scale. This is going to be a large ship at 1090mm main gun deck length...

At last time to get started. HMS Granado full kit by CAF. There has been much discussion about kits and cost etc and yes in the UK, total is over £1000.00 but looking at all the parts supplied and remember all of the work gone in to produce the kit then in my opinion it’s worth it. Box 1 arrived...

All parts No. 1 ~ 3 are available No.3 parts are quite substantial. There is only one drawing for part No.3. All drawings other than the frame have only side views and vertical views. I want a cross section. The figure head is 1/48, which is small but has a good face. I want a little more...

Hallo friends...... how to start the building log ? 1) starting with the section model which I finalized short time ago? https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/hms-granado-1742-midship-section-pof-by-caf-in-1-48-by-uwe.8675/ This I will show also later on when I compare the framing...

I've reached a bit of a milestone with 'Granado', in that I have finished all the frames, and I'm now ready to start fairing up the hull. 'What?' do I hear you say - 'I thought Ted was building 'La Salamandre!' Well, yes - he was! I'd better tell you the tale. Many, many years ago, when I was a...

Happy new year! Creation of this kit is already underway for 4-5 months. I often referred to this group build when I didn't know how to make it. I recently made a boat. The frame was thin, delicate and fragile, and in fact, it broke in several places with a light sanding Since the position of...

Hi all, my ship came in last week and of course I was eager to figure out, how it goes together. Here's the start: I was lucky to have a large 2.5cm thick board of Multiplex in my workshop which serves perfectly as a base for the build: I built the stem today and it went very well...
