Well I better get this log started, I started the build last winter. So I have a little catching up to do. First just a little history, I finish the Bluenose II. She lock better today after having aged 30+ years, a little battle damage from my 2 Main Coon Cats. After the Bluenose my Boss at...

Hello ship modellers. I am going to do a very simple sort of retro log of the Wappen Von Hamburg that I built about 12 years ago, let me explain how my introduction to this hobby came about and how I ended up building this model. I started the hobby about fifteen years ago after a hand issue...

I’m new to the site and ship building. This is my father’s ship, that he started some time ago. He got sidetracked then developed Alzheimer’s. I thought it would be nice to finish the product. I have several questions for anyone who can help. My dad stopped because he said he made an error...

The convoy ship Wappen von Hamburg 1669 - Corel SM28, scale 1:50 Hi everybody, I'll guess I'm going to attempt to build a Dutchmen, which is a first time. Some folks may read "Hamburg" in the title and think (Dutch?), Hamburg lies in Germany and not in The Netherlands. And you are absolutely...

I guess little late starting a build,log is better than not starting at all. This kit is a challenge as it is mostly inaccurate as a representation of the midsection of the HMS VICTORY. That is part of the fun and challenge to take basically a shell and make something more true to the...

Hi, I started this kit something like 3 years ago. Although I’m happily under a parental leave from the hobby, I’d like to share the progress so far with the hopes of continuing the thread in the future. I started the work with 2 main ideas in mind: - even though I know the original colour is...

Well I already have BOUNTY and NORFOLK on the go when up comes a pair of GREYHOUNDs offered up to the CMSS for completion. I had a look at both; one planked and filled, the other with planking started. I fear the later was done first with planking ........... Thankfully the original owner...

Does anyone know a resource for painting the cast figures of the Corel WASA model? The best things I have found are the build guides from de Agostini's version which is a larger scale and its fittings are not consistent with Corel's fittings. Corel's instruction sheet is no help as it does not...

This is my build log for the Berlin By Corel It is not an easy build and not for the faint hearted. I have attached several shots of the hull planking in the rough. Will put some more from earlier when I can find them.

Decided to build this ship next. There are several nice build logs on this ship on SOS. I'll attach some images of this kit. Don't know if the kit has ever been updated.

Today arrived a future build in the Dockyard. So I thought apt to give an unboxing and small review of my own personal opinion of the parts. This was technically bought second hand but nothing has been used, so every piece of wood, brass, cast metal threaded etc are as New. While the...

Hi all, I'm a first time modeler but a decent handyman with a passion for wood works. I received the Berlin Kit as a gift in January of 2021. After many long hours of researching articles and reading posts I started the build in February 2021. Below I`ve included some pictures taken during the...

I started the build a week ago. And I want to share the advances with you. It is my intention to build is to the plans of Corel in combination with the book of Herman Ketting. This is how I start the build. It is still dryfit and it isn't sanded yet. After that I glued everything in place...

Now I've finished the Black Pearl I'm going to complete a model I started around 25 years ago. The Unicorn was chosen because I felt it was the best ship in my price range at the time. This build stopped in 97 when we moved house then a new puppy, change of job and no time for models. As...

I recently purchased a kit of ships section or diorama of the Berlin. This kit is made by Corel of Italy and is catalog # SM48 and is 1/25 scale build of stern deck with helmsman and office on the deck wit one cannon. Lots of fine details in the build. I will post photos of the unboxing to...

This will be my first build log. My name is Dave Myers I am a 64-year-old Elevator Mechanic in the Philadelphia area. This is my second ship model, my first build was a solid hull construction of the USS Constitution. I started this build about 20 years ago. It was in storage for most of the...

Introduction. I have read various SOS postings on the merits of various Vasa kits: Billing, Corel, d'Agostini, Mantua. I have settled on the Corel version even though it is not the most highly favoured. The kit is about half the price of d'Agostini and the negative comparisons (accuracy etc.)...

Hello, After 30 years doing other things than model building I decided to start building my Second model ship. My first project was Cutty Sark, a beautiful ship but a bid challenging for a first project. This time I was looking for a more modest project. Since I do love Dutch VOC ships I...

OK, now that I have some time I'll start a build log. As mentioned in my intro I picked up Corel Line's pre-cut hull Mayflower model. Probably just my speed as don't think I'm yet ready for planking a hull. We'll see how this one goes before I think about what may be next. So the pics...

I started this model many years ago and due to other commitments have only just started again. My intention is to keep at it until complete. I shall be adding pictures as I progress. These are photos of the work completed before this new burst of enthusiasm :
