mamoli

So a small recap from my introduction post. I got a Mamoli HMS Surprise as an early birthday gift and couldn't wait to start work on it. My only other experience with wooden model ships so far has been a OCCRE Polaris so i feel this is quite a step up from that. My biggest shock was for sure...

I am just back from Iqaluit and have started this kit. I found it at an auction near me. I know that it seems silly to start on this when I am already working on the Graupner Mayflower but I am keen to see how it will go. I have not done the rigging for the Mayflower so I intend to work on that...

First wooden ship model kit since abandoning a Beagle kit many, many years ago due to my ignorance of planking methods. Made stick and tissue free flight aircraft, and plastic aircraft models usually. One simple kit of a Chesapeake Flattie boat turned out well a few years ago. Anyway, I made the...

Started this build January 2023, progressed through the winter and spring. I lost interest in the hobby after getting Covid and other family issues. But I’m back to working on the build.

I question the advisability of starting to post a build log so early in this project. Most of what I've done so far is research. From what I can gather the real Flying Cloud profile and in many other respects looked nothing remotely like what you see on the box. I am using Bluejacket (Horace...

Witam wszystkich Aktualny czas temu odkryłem stworzenie jachtu Gretel w skali 1/54 z zestawu Mamoli. Budowa szła szybko bo dalej skłądowano również tylnokołowiec Mississippi - Artesania - Latina, ale powolutku idziemy do przodu, dzisiaj kadłub jest wykonany: Hello everyone Current time ago I...

Bonjour , comme je l'ai dit dans ma présentation, je me suis relancé dans le montage du Royal Louis a commencé il y a plus de 20 ans. J'avance petit à petit. Le bateau en était là :

I started building the Royal Louis 1780, a kit by Mamoli. The model is already partly finished, as I bought it from the family of the original builder (who passed away). For the past few ships, I've recorded only a video-log of the process and put it on YouTube. This time, I also made pictures...

I've been lurking on the SoS forum for quite a while getting inspiration and a lot of good info. I finally have a small work area to re-start my project (after 35+ years of it sitting in a storage box.) Remarkably, it survived with a wee bit of damage. I just completed the standing rigging...

Hi all. Welcome to my log of this small kit. The kit was a present from a fellow modeller, who decided not to finish the job. For me an good alternative to do something else than rigging of my Prins Willem...

Starting on the Flying Cloud. I completed a few things waiting on a reply from the vendor. BTW, after checking with Dusek, the build steps were mis-numbered. There is no step13 in the instructions. So, instead of 17 steps, there are 16... Started chamfering the bulkheads today..

Today i made a little start on this model. First i unpacked it and make pictures and post it here in the forum at kit reviews. Next step i made was trying to find out how the description worked. I tried to find all the English description parts and marked them with a yellow maker.. Because i...

Here is the photographic birth of the "Friesland" which I have built between 1983 and 1985.

Well, I decided to record my progress on the HMS Bounty. For two purposes: First, I would like to use this log to drive my work. If people are watching me then I would not get lazy to play around for something else. Second, I am new in building ships. Thus if I make some mistakes, you...

I just finished the nightmare of building the FAIR AMERICAN with very little instructions. I have decided to build Manoli's cross section USS Constitution and need some help. But, I can't find a complete Build Log. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

This is my second wood plank-on-plank ship, and much more detailed that my first...the Bluenose. I was able to get this for Christmas 2020, and started in January 2021.

With this post I am opening my build log of the HMS Victory. On the first picture you can see a cardboard box on the top of the bookshelf, the hull that I started years ago its there waiting to be revived. I am starting from step 0. Which is to study the plans. The Endeavor I made, I did it at...

I've had this kit in my stash for quite a few years and I think it's finally time to build it. I know that the kit is chock full of inaccuracies, it's missing a deck Mamoli modeled 3 decks instead of the correct 4), there is a cannon on the main deck (probably added to create display interest)...

As a complete novice at model making, I started this a few days ago. I’m a big fan of the Patrick O’Brian Aubrey Maturin books and y wife bought me the kit as an anniversary present back in August as a project for the winter months. I thought the New Year was the perfect time to make a start...

And so it begins. After doing some chores around the house to get on my better sides's good side I started Surprise. It's a Mamoli kit so it's packed with lots of hardwood including all the gun carriages, capstain, ship's wheel and more. The first layer of planking looks like limewood, other...
