mamoli

I have been doing some reading on The Age of Discovery, particularly the voyages of Spain (who went West for gold and silver) and Portugal (who went East for spices). Incredible voyages of sailing into the unknown with quite primitive equipment, no maps, no idea where you might end up and a...

What ho, shipmates! Well, spring break is almost over. My Admiral returns tomorrow. Shangri-la is squared away by the lifts and braces and I'll probably complete my Harriet Lane build this weekend. So. What's next? Well. It's in the title of the log. ROTF I don't know what to say other...

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...

After hours n' hours of three steps forward, two steps back, I thought I'd catch up on my "Flying Cloud" build log. A word: If you want to build this ship, start from scratch with BlueJacket plans (or kit from Ebay) or A. J. Fisher plans. The Mamoli bulkheads are too few and far between as well...

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...
