le coureur

Happy new year! Creation of this kit is already underway for 4-5 months. I often referred to this group build when I didn't know how to make it. I recently made a boat. The frame was thin, delicate and fragile, and in fact, it broke in several places with a light sanding Since the position of...

Das Model ist so toll und ihr habt mich sowas von angesteckt Ich konnte nicht Wiederstehen

Today I finished (well, almost) my Caldercraft HMS Snake 1:64 that was on the building dock for years...This allowed my ongoing build of HMS Enterprise to move to a different location in my shop. It still needs a lot of work, but all structural work is done. The shop is now re-configured to...

Hi everybody! Received my kit on monday, shipping was very very quickly! Book by Ancre arrived yesterday. Went through the parts and recognised, that the parts of the jig are warped. Does this matter or is that fixed by building it and fixing the bottom parts on a solid plate? I also browsed...

Will put out my building's log on Le Coureur after some pressure from my fellow builders. I come from an island group of about 6500 islands between Finland and Sweden named Aaland Islands, but best known for Gustav Eriksson's and other local shipowners' large sailing fleets, that sailed on the...

Hello to you all. Here I am Last night my gift came from Shanghai ( let’s say self - gift ) for my sixty years : my CAF model kit The Italian customs have thought well to join my festivities and have not demanded any customs duties . Last night I have completed the two boxes contents checking...

Hi everyone, I received my CAF model recently and like others, was missing E1/E2. Seeing as I had to wait for these to arrive as well as the Ancre monograph, I thought I would start with the smaller boat, some barrels and creates from the associated kits. At the very least, I hoped to get a...

After the nice colleagues here persuaded me to start my own log, I decided to do so. After I was impressed by the accuracy of fit of the parts from the beginning, I started to remove the char layer. Another possibility to grind the stuff gently and carefully was to use an elastic silicone...

I'm still waiting for the HMS Alert 1776 kit which I wanted to make my very first build. For now I do not want to build 2 kits simultaneously so it will most likely take a long time before I start on Le Coureur. However, I have been waiting since May and since I received Le Coreur kit from CAF I...

Hello friends of the shipmodel! Due to illness I have to drove back and more slowly. So I renewed my first non pure plastic kit of the COUREUR by Amati. I tortured this kit 25 years ago and lost it an increcibly unlucky accident on a removal - when a shelf fall on the model in its card box...
