caf model

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 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...

Finally I got the kit some days ago, well packed and sent by Max at ZHL. It is the same kit our member ADC presented already in his building log, so I will add only some additional information. Also I want to show in the beginning some more photos of the content of the kit, due to the fact, that...

Recently bought the CAFMODEL La Salamandre bomb ketch 2.0 kit from Max at ZHL. Very expensive and ambitious kit perhaps as close as a kit gets to high end scratch build aesthetics and completeness of detail. I bought this because it closely follows the outstanding ANCRE Boudroit/Berti...

Hello friends, I spotted this kit on ebay about 6 months ago and it instantly grabbed my attention. I was considering another plank on frame model after my wonderful experience with the plank on frame Xebec model which is almost finished. I was considering the Swan/ Naiad/ Warrior practicums...
