    USS Essex 1799 Frigate by rlwhitt - Model Shipways - 1:76 [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Welcome to my log for the Model Shipways MS2041 US Frigate Essex, Hull Model. I've had my eye on this kit since I started not very long ago in wood kits. I liked the looks of it, and since I'd already known I wasn't going to be big on fully rigged models, the "Admiralty Style" had a lot of...

    Pocher 1:8 scale Lotus 72 [COMPLETED BUILD]

    I have been waiting for this kit to be available, and I just found it on sale…so I couldn’t resist! So the Brabham will get pushed back, along with my airplane builds. I am still working on my ship, but once this kit arrives, I will be working on both. This is probably my favorite Formula One...

    Harriet Lane Model Shipways Solid hull build log by Peter Gutterman [COMPLETED BUILD]

    This solid hull kit has been discontinued, replaced with a plank on bulkhead version. I like carving solid hulls and planking over them. This version represents the Harriet Lane as she might have appeared Jan. 1 1863 when she was captured by the Confederates. Her appearance is modeled after she...

    La Salamandre 1/96 by Miniature Arts [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Hello all A very attractive model, but a rather difficult kit. First of all, I assembled the jig, but the board was bent. I was able to fix it without any problems by pasting it on a 1cm thick plate. The frame is as easy as sticking two pieces together. There are a few parts that are...

    Benjamin W. Latham (Model Shipway 1:48) by Fred P. [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Hello all, Since I finished building "The Confederacy" I started the Benjamin W. Latham, 1902 Mackerel Fishing Schooner. The kit is quite minimalist.

    IJN Mogami, Aircraft Carrier Heavy Cruiser, Tamiya 1/350 [Completed Build]

    After much studying and soul searching I picked the Mogami for my next build. I have two reasons why Mogami was picked the first being a kit of intermediate building skills necessary and the second I like the unusual appearance of the flight deck cruiser. Rather than writing a ship history I'll...
