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...

Hi guys, my next project just arrived today. Its the new kit from Tom at CAF model in Shanghai China. It arrived at my doorstep in 7 days from ordering it, and that is excellent mail order service. This is the full hull version, as there is also a cross section kit of this ship available. The...

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...

Hello to you all. Here I am Last night my gift came from Shanghai ( let’s say self - gift ) for my sixty years : my CAF model kit The Italian customs have thought well to join my festivities and have not demanded any customs duties . Last night I have completed the two boxes contents checking...

Hi everyone, I received my CAF model recently and like others, was missing E1/E2. Seeing as I had to wait for these to arrive as well as the Ancre monograph, I thought I would start with the smaller boat, some barrels and creates from the associated kits. At the very least, I hoped to get a...

After the nice colleagues here persuaded me to start my own log, I decided to do so. After I was impressed by the accuracy of fit of the parts from the beginning, I started to remove the char layer. Another possibility to grind the stuff gently and carefully was to use an elastic silicone...
