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...

Hello Everybody, I'm since +- 2 weeks member and in this context I would like to actively participate in the group. Yesterday, I received the kit and the upgrade kit. It is my intention to honestly write my experience and activities, and will post on a regular base photo's and comments. I...

Hi all shipwrights, I have started Capt. Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl 1:96. I got this kit second-handed for an unbelievable low price. I think it will be a good learning project to do some weathering on it. Please stay tuned! Good luck building to all. EZ

I will be building the Model Shipways Bluenose (MS2130) in 1/64 (3/16"=1') scale. This is one of the ships I have wanted to build for some time. I got pretty lucky when purchasing the kit and got it at a super sale price when Mode Expo moved their warehouse last year. The Bluenose will be...

I purchased this kit some time ago, but did not start until recently. The impetus and inspiration for getting this particular model was (surprise) Olha Batchvarov's wonderful topic and series of videos, posted here on ShipsOfScale.com. I didn't even care for this type of ship before drooling...

I started this kit in Nov. 2022, and have been keeping a log with comments and pictures. It is a Word document, attached below. I can convert it to pdf if anyone wishes. This is my first log here in SOS so learning as I go. I can attach updated logs as I make progress, or post pictures...

Good afternoon, I just received my YQ Bluenose and am excited to share my first look at its contents. Of course, it came very well packaged and upon opening there is no apparent damage to any of the contents. I like the way most all the fiddley pieces have been shrink wrapped to a cardboard...

Hello, everyone. I just bought the Pandora kit of Modelship Dockyard a while ago. Next, I will update the production process here.My production process is a little slow, but I will update it slowly until it is finished.

Built this as a quicky just to look at quality of kit. Basic kit but instructions sometime lacking. Changed the planking above the deck and added clear plastic to all windows. Used tin foil that I sprayed gold on the rudder. Hove not tightened the guide wires as I need to remove cabin to take...

Looking forward to tackling this one , going to take my time over it with the intention of producing a quality model !

While I did not do an actual build log, I thought I'd post the finished model. This was a "Fun" kit from Master Korabel that I had sitting on a shelf collecting dust. While waiting for the inspiration for my next build I decided to build this one. I must say the materials in this kit were first...

After a few days of recovering from the disar model Junco Chino (Chinese Junk) disaster, it's time to move forward. I received this kit as a holiday gift. Opening the kit, I was happy to see much better-written assembly instructions along with colour photos supporting the written instructions...

Good afternoon I am going to build a Xebec. Originally I was going to build the Jabeque Cazador from OcCre 1:60 scale, however as I will show I am going to change this up a little. The kit : As with most reasonably affordable kits there is nothing exotic about the Cazador from OcCre. When my...

I caution all new model builders attempting any of theses ship model to read, then read again and before you glue read once more! You will appreciate the build more if you don’t have to take apart or try to fix something that could have been avoided just by reading the instructions just one more...

A twenty-gun ship of the 1719 Establishment. From the Modelship Dockyard POF kit HMS Blandford. The 1719 Establishment Group was the first real attempt to standardise dimensions of the various different rated ships of the Royal Navy. Although small the 6th rate 20-gun ships were very...

I decided I wanted to eventually build my USS CONSTITUTION but needed to gain some skills and ship building knowledge to achieve that goal ! In doing so I bought the triple kit for model expo and started on the Dory!

Hi All, After having couple speed build videos completed on my YouTube channel, I got my first sponsored model kit, the BB605 RCMP St.Roch 1:72 scale from Billing Boats. This was an advanced beginner kit and should be very straightforward. The plan was good but the instructions could be...
