Hi All. Decided to post my build of H.M.S. Granado by Victory Models. The kit was purchased many years ago and gathered dust at different stages of construction. The main reasons for these delays were the instructions and the lack of building logs for this specific kit. This is my first ship...

Hello guys A little new project I started last weekend, The Jig

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...

A year ago i bought this model but didn't receive it complete. The factory got some problems with the wood. Now finally the last pieces are received and because i finished black beards ship i cleaned up my shipyard and today i started building. Need to say i also watch the video's that kevink...

At last time to get started. HMS Granado full kit by CAF. There has been much discussion about kits and cost etc and yes in the UK, total is over £1000.00 but looking at all the parts supplied and remember all of the work gone in to produce the kit then in my opinion it’s worth it. Box 1 arrived...

All parts No. 1 ~ 3 are available No.3 parts are quite substantial. There is only one drawing for part No.3. All drawings other than the frame have only side views and vertical views. I want a cross section. The figure head is 1/48, which is small but has a good face. I want a little more...

Hello! I have started this build in the summer 2007... Radek

Hi all, my ship came in last week and of course I was eager to figure out, how it goes together. Here's the start: I was lucky to have a large 2.5cm thick board of Multiplex in my workshop which serves perfectly as a base for the build: I built the stem today and it went very well...
