Hi guys The GRIMSBY is my first wooden ship model. I bought the kit back in 1989 during my honeymoon. However, it took 25 years before I started building it. At that time (2013), I more or less finished the hull but didn't continue. I've been retired for three months now and am finally getting...

This is the second ship I am working on. The first taught me alot about how not to do things. Definately going to put more effort into this one. POF Enterprise from Constructo. Its an older kit I bought from an aqaintence. First step. Get the frame square.

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.

The Pilar is Ernest Hemmingway's boat, named after is second wife Pauline. The model is aimed at beginners, and I made it in the spring of 2020. This was my first model after finishing the Amerigo Vespucci, and I was wondering whether I could still enjoy building smaller models. As an...

Hi everyone back in december of 2020 I decided to have a go at building a model ship. I have never built a model before and I don't know why I decided on this fools erand. I thought buy the kit stick the bits together, job done. I looked in the box and at the drawings and wondered where all...

This is my first model still have problems hope to do better next time (it is right here at home a Bucaneer OcCre 1/100)

I have never maintained a build log of the Models I have built, but since this is, what I will consider, my first attempt to build a plank on bulkhead model I would give it a go, though the intervals between posts may span longer than expected periods of time. I will post pictures of the...

Hello First build pob build here. Iv done a couple solid hull mamoli kits fairly easily but ready to move on Now that iv opened the box I'm a bit overwhelmed but I'm committed lol Any help and advice would be much appreciated I will do my best to keep a detailed log.

Good Day All, I am fixing to start rigging on the Enterprise, and noticed an oddity between versions of the Constructo Enterprise rigging plan. The cat head rigging is completely different from the 2 pictures I have attached, "Bow 1 and 2." Bow 1 is from a newer edition I down loaded from this...

Made a start with a cradle

Hello everyone. In this thread, I am going to attempt to document the building of my latest model La Flore by Constructo. I bought this kit last year although I really hadn't had the time to build it until now, during the lockdown I have plenty of time and I work on it about 5 hours a day! I...

I joined here late, I have the Hull done but there’s still alot to go. I moved 4 years ago, and I haven’t got back into the ship since. It was started in 1990, lol. I used to work at a large Display Shop. There a guy that did our plexi work, made the case for me. I made up the base. We had a...

Hello, Ship of Scale friends, After reading around the Ships of Scale forum, I decided to start my own Build Log. I have no experience building such models, so it will be great if you could support me here. My model is H.M.S. Victory wooden ship from Constructo. Size It is a 1 to 94 scale...

Hi there, so I decided to build my own HMS Victory model. I searched for different ones and my eyes stopped on the H.M.S. Victory from Constructo 1:94. It is a big and complex model as I wanted. Honestly, I was surprised to realize that the length of this model is 111 cm. Size It is a 1 to 94...

Hello, my name is Max. I am happy to join Ships of Scale forum as I want to be around like-minded people who likes to build wooden ships. I've recently bought an HMS Victory from Constructo 1:94 scale and want to share my experience here on the forum. Also I would like to hear feedback from you...

My build log. Here's what I'm aiming for. Update 9/2020: Attached build plans in pdf form

I should have started this build log some time ago, here goes anyway. I got this ship from a friend who started the build but got frustrated and gave up. When I got this ship it was partly under way and I was concentrating on building Endeavour. I put Bounty away for a while and then started...
