cross section

Hello It is good to be back from medical issues that kept me from sitting at work bench. Hope to locate a previous build of the Artrsania cross section as a guide. I really missed building scale models. See you soon as I get started.

The build of my other model, H.M.S. Leopard at 1:80 took almost 9 years, so, at this time I didn't want to take on another full-on build of a complete ship. As I have basic drawings/plans of Leopard I'm going to have a go at a cross section. Since a section will require a lot less space for the...

OK, here is my first entry for blog on this kit build, it is OcCre kit 16800. Overview of kit was it was a good kit with easy to read instructions in English and available online for other countries. The photo guide is ok, pictures are a bit small for my old eyes, but I can work with it. It...

This is now the official first opening remarks about my 1:32 build log of the Blandford. The first comment is that this is my first scratch build. I have been putting this off for a long time and now is the time. I also ordered the Blandford AOTS to help me with terminology. First things first...

I thought I would just jump-in feet first into the world of POF! I have PM'd Donnie and am waiting for access to the download plans!

The drawings for this project have been updated per the latest information from the shipwreck and the English shipbuilding standards of the time period. Plans and sections note these drawings are preliminary to be used for the prototype and are subject to change during construction. Mike

Hi: I am just getting started in building wood ships now that I have retired and finally setup the workshop I've always wanted to have. My first foray is the Deagostini Victory cross section. I have see several builds on the internet and it struck me as one I would like to try. I will...

On May 3, 2009 I officially started to build the Santìsima Trinidad's Cross Section. It is the second part of the De Agostini partwork made up of 160 weekly issues in which you build A) the entire model and later B) the Cross Section. It seemed me quite simple to build and I thought to...

After I had built the stern and bow section, I also wanted to build the middle section of the ship. In fast motion the pictures of the construction progress. Karl

This is the start of my build log for 1:32 scale Blandford cross section build. I started last fall with the build board and milling up some Cherry boards for the keel and frames. My Soleil Royal kit came in and I started working on it so the Blandford was put on the shelf. I started cutting...

This will be my build log for the HMS Blandford cross section

1/48 Deck cannon scene. Taking the Le Fleuron as the prototype, after some adjustments and details, the 2-layer deck gun will be produced soon, and the set will be made of pear wood, ebony, carved artillery, shoreline pulley, and high-quality rope wound. I tried to take further info...

I received this kit from my Boss who wanted it built ASAP. This will set me back a bit on other builds, but I'm happy to build it for him. Before I ended up hospitalized I managed to get some of it done so I figured I would share the progress here. First this kit isn't accurate as it's missing...

Hi Guys, Starting reeeeeaaaal sooon, like the weekend.

Long time ago I built the section model of the HMS Triton, a 28 gun sixth rate frigate from 1771. I was asked to show this built here in a log. Due to the fact, that it is already 10 years ago, when I made this crossection I will mainly show the old photos with a reduced text. First of all I...

I found the Mamoli Constitution cross section on EBay for a song (plus shipping!) so I bought it, thinking I'd start yet another project. Looking at the box cover, I noticed the bottle of Jim Beam and the half full glass next to it. It turns out that these are not there by accident. In...

Ahoy Ship Mates, Ready to go.

Hello everyone, this will start my build log.

This is the original prototype model and should be used along with the building instructions. Mike
