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 everyone I am from China and English is not my mother tongue. I am using Google Translate to help me. There may be many syntax errors. Thank you for your understanding. This is my second ship and the first POF model. CAF provides the basic part. I made some modifications based on Ancre's...

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...

Hi colls! Decided to introduce my current project - as in the subject. I've started this model long ago, 4 or 5 years ago, AFAIR. Now, from the view of my current experience, I would not even start this model. Several reasons - the scale is too small for me (this is why it is mostly built...

Hi thrusty mates! As promised i will start my HMS Enterprize build log. For me this is a premier, as i have never built a POF model like this.. i have wondered trough forums and posts of similar builds and always wanted to have such a good looking model, never knowing if was capable of such...

The HMS Bellona is no doubt one of the most appealing subjects to modelmakers, the original model once being on display in the NMM in London is frankly breathtaking! So far all we had was the rather aged Corel kit and also the card Shipyard kit in the same 1.96 or 1:100 scale. When I heared of a...

Hi collegues, I started the build a couple of years ago. It was interrupted several times, but I do not give up))) I will start my log with the current position if you do not mind)) Now it looks like this. The mortir barrels were made by prominent Russian shipmodeler, Dmitry Shevelev. I just...

This is going to be a “semi-build” log of La Belle from H4Models, a Chinese company I never heard of before. I call this a semi-build log since I have not been taking photos of every stage of construction and many of those I did take were not intended for posting. I bought the kit on eBay. I was...

This is CAFMODEL’s La Belle kit in 1/48 scale plank on frame with interior details and rigging. This was one of French explorer Rene Roberts De La Salle’s ships during his exploration of the Texas and Louisiana coast in the 17th century. The lines and proportions of this ship make it look it...
