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...

I'm still waiting for the HMS Alert 1776 kit which I wanted to make my very first build. For now I do not want to build 2 kits simultaneously so it will most likely take a long time before I start on Le Coureur. However, I have been waiting since May and since I received Le Coreur kit from CAF I...

After being threatened by some senior forum members with walking the plank, a couple of sessions of keel hauling, Running The Gauntlet and some other punishments that are not appropriate to post I have given in and will start sharing my attempts to build le coureur from CAF. There have been many...

Ok this is the beginning of my build log. I expect this build to take a year or more as I must wait to clean my workshop of other in work projects before getting along with this ship build I am starting with the ships boat first as you will see, a project in itself!

OK, to start with I received my kit in great shape, with shipping tape covering clear plastic wrap. The plastic wrap sealed the kit box and made for easy removal of shipping tape. When removed a nicely packed box was left. When I opened the kit box there were two large boxes and two smaller...

Well I have put this off long enough, welcome to my build log of La Salamandre. The kit is amazing, the materials are top quality. This build will be quite a challenge for me but fortunately I have Uwek, ADC and Koreets logs to follow. The building jig was straight forward and went together...

I have built many model ships over the years but fancied something a little different and a while ago stumbled on the CAF Model website - after staring in awe at some of the wonderful boat kits I noticed the Ancient Chinese Temple kit and immediately knew that this was something I wanted to try...

Hello to all I would like to propose a post of the Enterprize Kit of the CAF model, which I am creating with the addition of the complete interiors. To create the interior, I took a cue from the designs of Pandora and the Shipyard project. The undertaking is not an easy one and surely there will...

Hi everyone. I'm starting my first plank-on frame project. CAF's HMS Enterprise 1:48. Box one consists basically of frames 08 to 46. The instructions are a bit like LEGOS: go by the pictures, and figure it out ! I hope I don't make a lot of mistakes, but I'm sure the group here will let me...
