completed build

I'm new at posting a build log so please bear with me. Also, being french Canadian, my english grammar might not always be to par. I started my Fokker Eindecker build and so far so good. I was a bit surprised to see how bent out of shape many white metal parts were but I soon found out that...

My next build was to be the POF. HMS Blandford 1720 - 20 Gun 6th rate Frigate, but she will now wait until the long dark nights of winter. Having ordered Blandford through Dry-Dock Models & Parts, (first class service btw.),and as the kit was coming from China I expected it to take several weeks...

Ahoy i am new here here is my first post this the first release of the opld pyro Ex ITC NANTUCKET LIGHTSHIP Below Are some Pictures Of the build. Thank you I Am Honored

In 1993 I have built the 'Elidir'. On completion I give her the Dutch flag and her name was changed into 'Runamara' , after the title of a Dutch book about a mermaid.

Dear model makers, I´m new here, but now it´s time to show my interpretation of the kit. I prefer "original" painted surfaces. Many thanks to all the other kit builder for the good ideas to find detail solutions. The kit is very well engieered. frumi

Received the Fly yesterday and at the moment looking at the plans and bits and pieces , this will be a lengthy project and looking forward to this project , it doesn’t come with a base and pedestals so will have to order them separately ASAP, also I follow my partner in crime Nomad (LOL) closely...

Dear shipmates, To ease myself into shipbuilding again, after the Italeri 1/720 Lutzow, I have decided to start some work on something small. The Dragon 1/700 (Kit #7011) Soviet Nanuchka Class Missile Corvettes. At first glance the detail is typically Dragon, I would venture to say above...

When I saw tugboat models made by Barry (Mighty Mite) and Careloo (Ulysses), I also wanted to build an interesting old tugboat. I started looking for a kit and came across a Revell model: It is as old as the World model. Not the best quality but I could not find any other old plastic tugboat...

20220529 Started the OcCre Calella a couple of weeks ago. Work on it has been slow as the day job has had me travelling. When looking for a next boat model, this one caught my eye. A colorful oar-powered fishing craft equipped with lights for attracting the catch-of-the-day. At 1:15 it is a...

Intro This is my first boat build. I chose this model from Vanguard Models because the boat itself is well designed and full of detail and the instruction manual is well organized and includes nice step by step pictures. Plus I went through a few builds of the same boat in this forum, and it...

Well I am a glutton for punishment. Getting board with the independence so I decided to start the lynx. Quick inventory of the kit. Some of the planking will be changed out. As it looks it's not the best directions. The AL and the panart directions are pretty non existent all you have to go...

Today i made a little start on this model. First i unpacked it and make pictures and post it here in the forum at kit reviews. Next step i made was trying to find out how the description worked. I tried to find all the English description parts and marked them with a yellow maker.. Because i...

With my first build Bluenose II under the belt I thought I'd go for broke and have a crack at Amati's HMS Fly, a 1:64 scale model of the sixth-rate Swan Class ship rigged sloop that was originally built in 1776. It is a magnificent looking ship and it was a picture of the HMS Fly that drew me...

My 2nd build (since 1984) Mantua Golden Star. The sails are not included in the kit. Images of the full size sails are on the diagram sheet. Don't know yet if will do full or furled.

Hi All. I have been making wooden plank on bulkhead ship kits for some years now and, after seeing some of the POF kits featured on this site, I was immediately smitten and decided a change of direction is called for and so l have entered the world of POF with the 1:48 scale HMS Blandford kit...

20220423 Decided to tackle another WWI rotary engine as my next project – the Oberursel UR III that was used to power the Fokker Eindeckar. This is a double row, 14-cylinder engine so plenty of opportunity for large fingers to get in the way of placing small parts. Started a couple of...

Hello guys, I just finished Essex. I couldn't share the finished version because I haven't photographed it yet. I will share as soon as possible. I have started my new project, HM Cutter Alert 1777. I used Vanguard's kit plan for cutting the bulkhead former and bulkheads. Since I chose a...

Second model probably will be just as bad as the first effort. Anyway, I never got to rant and rave 'Seventy Six trombones' etc. because illness (not the Omicron pestilence) prevented a family gathering for my 76th. weekend before Easter the Grandchildren delighted in giving me the La Pinta kit...
