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...

I planed to start my building log, but at the end I was motivated by the Uwe log to finaly do it :) Lets start my building log of this interesant kit from CAF. I started with the acryl glass jig. There are three set of screws with diferent lenght and no intstruction how to use it. At the...

Some days ago I started working on a new project - HMS GRANADO - bomb vessel midship section - POF by @CAFmodel in 1:48 I made already a detailed kit review, where you can find more detailed Information abou the content and also the specialities of this kit, like the correct framing, the...

Hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving and survived the holiday. Have been working on Part One of this CAF Granado kit for a while now. Part Two is waiting in the wings. Have completed all of the main ribs and have been impressed by the quality of the rib design and of the jig for assembly...

抱歉，我不会说英语，所以我只能使用谷歌翻译 下面是我制作的CAF的HMS enterprise 今年已经制作完成 之前的制作过程图片已经丢失了 只有后期的制作过程 Sorry, I can't speak English, so I can only use Google Translate Here's what I made of CAF's HMS enterprise this year has been produced before the production process picture has been lost only post-production...

Have started the New Project CAF Models HMS Enterprise. This will be my first Admiralty Build. Ordered directly from Tom at CAF, only to 16 days to arrive to the states. Tom included a Long Boat kit as a Gift as well. This will be my first Build Log as well, so any advice will be well taken...

https://cafmodel.com/products/hms-granado-1 Try to make Granado into a structure that separates the top from the bottom, and after that, it can be assembled smoothly This is very challenging, and I'll share some of my experience in remaking later

It's been a few months since I've posted anything , so thought it might be time to give you a run-down on my progress with 'La Salamandre'. As I have stated previously, I don't intend to give you a blow-by-blow account of my build, as the ship construction has already been extremely well...

Today I finished (well, almost) my Caldercraft HMS Snake 1:64 that was on the building dock for years...This allowed my ongoing build of HMS Enterprise to move to a different location in my shop. It still needs a lot of work, but all structural work is done. The shop is now re-configured to...

Hi everybody! Received my kit on monday, shipping was very very quickly! Book by Ancre arrived yesterday. Went through the parts and recognised, that the parts of the jig are warped. Does this matter or is that fixed by building it and fixing the bottom parts on a solid plate? I also browsed...

Will put out my building's log on Le Coureur after some pressure from my fellow builders. I come from an island group of about 6500 islands between Finland and Sweden named Aaland Islands, but best known for Gustav Eriksson's and other local shipowners' large sailing fleets, that sailed on the...

Here we go.......................

Good evening fellow modellers! Back in May, I ordered CAF's La Belle 1684, always wanted to build (assemble) her, but baroque carvings are not my cup of tea - just cannot carve. Carvings in the kit are extraordinary. Wood quality - alright, cherry, not my favorite type of wood. The model is...
