This is my first posting as I just joined SoS. Before i start, a little about myself. My name is Henry and I'm 74 years old. I built my first wooden ship kit around 1985, Mamoli's USS Constitution Cross Section, that was a gift from my then fiancée, now my wife of nearly 40 years. I next...
Hello, this is Unicorn model from China, I’m now bringing you the new 1:48 aft midship cross-section of Bonhomme Richard 1779.
The old Bonhomme Richard cross section kit has been launched for many years, although there are some upgrades and improvements, and a few modelers have made wonderful...
NEW BUILD LOG OF CAF'S 1:48 CROSS SECTION OF HMS GRANADO
The Rosas Houston Shipyard is currently on the last stages of three ships: CAF1:48 HMS Enterprize, La Coureur, and Trident's 1:48 HMS Alert. The shipyard started operations in December 2019, and has been building intermittently (sometimes...
I am starting a build log on the USS Constitution Cross Section. I bought this about a year ago when Model Expo had a sale, but I knew from downloading and reviewing the instructions that I needed to so some simpler kits first. After gaining some experience I decided to try to tackle this.
As...
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 :-)
DHL delivery from China Today!!! I'll post a few pictures from the unboxing below. Next post, I'll discuss my thoughts on making a duplicate with a bunch of Alder I have from a recent project.
First impressions:
1. Kit arrived via DHL in Eight days! It was well packed and looked pristine...
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...
I got the cross-section for Christmas from my wife. I figured I’d be a good intermediary build while doing the San Bartolome. Looks like a nice simple kit with plenty of detail. Not really sure how I like the instructions being on YouTube but I have been taking screenshots and printing certain...
This cross-section is the latest kit in the Kolderstok series, and it was developed and build by Matthias Noback.
It contains a very good building instruction , and there is no plywood used at all, it is build of Basswood except for the masts.
The kit is developed according to the book written...
so...came across this kit for sale on a community sale board. 75.00, all parts seem to be here. Has anyone heard of this Japanese Kit Maker? All Directions are in Japanese? Will begin soon.....
Hello folks,
I'm back with the new log build of USS Bonhomme Richard - POF from "Unicorn Model". My progress will be slow, it is my second ship model. I'm a bit "green" with ship construction and experience, technics. I would like to thank this forum for great posts and logs. Following...
This new build is of the Model Shipways USS Constitution Cross Section (MS2045) at 1:76 (Actually the scale is 1:76.8 or 5/32" = 1'). The finished model is 4"x6"x32". I chose this kit for several reasons: 1) It is a nice kit and I like cross sections; 2) The Constitution cross section is a...

Hello partners
In January of this year, they gave me the KIT of the cross section of the San Francisco galleon from Artesanía Latina. In February I started working with him and, given the doubts that arose, I began to investigate how to do it, looking at some work on social networks, until I...
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...
Good Day All
After reading some trully great posts here from Uwek and Stan167, just wanted to share my work on the CAF Granado section.
Some minor mistakes in the kit, already mentioned by previous builds. Had to disasemble and remake no 14 due to a xerox bad misalignment.
So far pretty...
Hi folks!
I have just started posting here and am already in-progress on the Model Shipways Constitution Cross Section, kit MS2045. In looking around I see that there are a couple of Mamoli cross section build threads, but none for the MS. So even though I've started already I haven't really...
