completed build

This is my first thread posted in this build log. I took a 30-ish year hiatus from ship and boat building to work on my model railroading hobby. I now have a completed model railroad layout. During that time, I did build a few ships and boats to incorporate into the scenes but they were all...

Hi all just I’m at the final stretch of building my Dory. Sorry not much of a build log as I have almost completely built it. I have to say this was a most enjoyable build I did run into a few problems along the way with the tombstone being too high and other things which I hadn’t realized till...

This will be a very short build log for the pilot boat Achilles of 1815. The model continues my series of sloops and schooners many of which I have described in more extensive logs, and I really have nothing new to say about my modeling methods. In looking for a new project, I came across...

My next project will be finishing a cross section of the H.M.S. Victory, from a kit by Corel. I bought it semi-finished online, and there is not much to do in order to get her finished. Unless I decide to improvise somewhere down the line. Let's see what happens :-)

....some hints from my experience 1. When fitting part 222 grating to part 50 forecastle deck, you need to use the one example of 222 which has a rectangular hole cut in it. The allows the samson post inside the forecastle to be reached for rigging. No way of knowing unless you happen to notice...

(Sorry, I don't translate well, that's why I use Google Translate.) I would like to tell everyone, for inspiration, the story of the construction of this favorite ship of mine. The main thing in life is not to lose heart! :) I built it a long time ago when I suffered severe injuries to both...

Hello) I present to your attention the construction of the Swedish 62 gun ship "Ömheten". Third ship of the type "Kronprins Gustaf Adolf" Project of the famous shipbuilder Frederik Henrik af Chapman. There was very little information on this ship, so I did not complete all the decoration of the...

Hello. I have been registered on the forum for several years now. But I don't translate well. Now I am writing through Google Translator. I once built the Danish frigate "Lille Belt" of 1801, scale 1:78 (all my models are built only in this scale :) )...

Good morning, SOS. And welcome to my new build log. Having just successfully completed HMS Blandford I am attempting something completely different, a 1:16 scale Sopwith Camel from a kit by Artesania Latina. I was bought this by my wife as a Xmas present, I’d given her a shortlist of suitable...

I needed a break from ship models so decide to try the Artesanía Latina Stagecoach. There are several different makers but chose this one for the larger scale and the detail possible with a bigger model. The box contents all looked good and there are several other builds out there to follow...

Доброго времени суток! Я новичок в парусном судомоделизме, но люблю работать с деревом. Решил попробовать сделать модель сечения. Материал: вишня, черный граб, немного груши. Ошибок много, но я всего лишь учусь. Не судите строго))) Масштаб произвольный. Чертежи нашел в интернете. Выбрал Gros...

My nearly first attempt for a wood kit is the Occre Polaris. I already started with Amati greek bireme before, but stopped it because I realized that I'm not ready for it. Maybee I will continue later with it. I ordered the Polaris starterset...

Hi everyone! So far I've been quietly reading and watching some of your awesome projects, in both the scratch and kit section. Today I'm starting a thread about a project that's finished by now, but I think will be of interest to some of you. The original build log was published on the Dutch...

The Fog Warning, painted by Winslow Homer in 1885 To end the 2023 year with finishing at least one model, hence helping novice scale modelers who are just new to the hobby or switching from plastic, I decided to assemble the Lowell Grand Banks Dory, the kit made by Model Shipways (beginner...

I am making another United States. My first had a poop deck. This one will be more like she was when burned in 1861.

I have not posted for some time but I am pleased now with progress. Much of the paintwork done and now building the spars. Had some difficulty finding doweling of the right proportions. Solution came in the shape of an old child's fishing rod; cut that up, just the job. Don't worry the child...

My kit arrived so i will start my build log the box says everything i need so this is a build straight out of the box nothing fancy, no additional tools, no kit bashing so lets get started.

Here are the model of Black Pearl Golden Version made by customers from different countries, including some semi-finished ones. Scale is 1/65,Lenght is 800MM.

Hello, everyone! I'm Dave, I'm 19 years old, I'm from Ukraine. I am new to the hobby of modeling ships and now I am building my first model - "La Niña" XV century. Photos taken during the process of making the model, I will post here if no one minds. I will be glad to any suggestions, advice or...

This ship has already appeared in one thread, but as a mention. Thank you so much for noticing and appreciating my father's work. Today I want to present a more detailed description of this masterpiece, made by the hands of my father. This entry is a translation of my original article. If you...
