Hi everybody, in the end, I decided to open my build log for the Victory model, made by Panart in 1:78 scale. Opened the packaging I was impressed by the general quality of the materials and I continued to evaluate the instructions and drawings. Although there are very negative judgments...

I'm starting this log a bit late as I have completed chapter 5 but I can share some of my issues and successes getting this far. Some background. I'm a 91 year old recently retired engineer. This is only the second plank on bulkhead model I have done--the first was an Amanti Vanguard 1:72, some...

Well, here goes... With the help and advice of others on this forum I have bitten the bullet and ordered the Panart kit from a company on Ebay. My first Ebay order ever! At 760€ it is a big step for me, albeit a good price for this model, but encouragement from Pauls Models on his log and from...

Ok this will be a build log of the Panart Deluxe Command Deck sold by Mantua. I saw this kit a few months ago and order it as I like the mini action scenes. So here is kit overview so far. Nice set of plans and instructions with photos to show steps to be completed. This is basically a...

Hello all I am starting today a new project: 1:84 Amerigo Vespucci from Panart. I have been looking at various kits of the Amerigo Vespucci (Mantua, Panart, Occre, Mamoli, Heller) and finally decided to go for the high-end model from Mantua/Panart. It is indeed more expensive than the other...

Well I am a glutton for punishment. Getting board with the independence so I decided to start the lynx. Quick inventory of the kit. Some of the planking will be changed out. As it looks it's not the best directions. The AL and the panart directions are pretty non existent all you have to go...

This is my seventh build. I do believe it's above my skill level but for better or worse I'm going to give it a try. I've never done a second planking so this will be interesting. Also, the sheet plans are all in Italian. I've been using the Google translator which works really good. I...

I am currently in the process of building a kit mash up of 2 of these kits. Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. Here I am joining the 2 frames of the kit and adding some bracing with the 2x5 strips. Here are all the frames joined together. Total footprint of this one will be 21" x 10"...

Hi all, Finally making a start with H.M.S. Victory from Panart art. 738. This is the first time for me building a wooden model. I will share my findings and challenges along the way. Hope you enjoy the result till now as much as i do. It will be a slow process but that no problem. Hope to get...

Well its been a while since my last log. Took a break from Wood after the Alert to try my hand at other media. I built the 1/350 HMS hood from Trumpter & the Artesania Latina 1:16 Sopwith Camel Net Result: HOOD - Hats off to those who build 1/350 and all the intricate PE bending. - New...

I built the Amerigo Vespucci from 2005-2015. It was a massive project, but I'm still enjoying the results today. For me, the most special time was the construction of the stand that the Amerigo is now resting on. I received a section of an oak tree (with the bark still attached) from an...

Hello everyone. I introduce myself, my name is Manuel and after following you for several years seeing your work, I have decided to present mine, The Royal Caroline 1749. I started it in June 2020, I will be putting you photos of the assembly process until today for several days , I hope you...

Hi, I have just started the Amerigo Vespucci, 1:84 scale from a Panart kit I’ll show my progress here so that you can see someone else struggle through a build as I’m sure many ordinary modellers do. I bought the kit off Ebay for a good price, it is an early version about 20 – 25 years old and...

Hello , The Amerigo Vespucci is an Italian training sailboat. It belongs to the Italian military navy, used for the training of student officers. It is currently one of the oldest three-masted square to sail, the oldest training ship of the Italian Navy in service and one of the largest military...

Hermione now sits in my library on a nice furniture covered with glass. Coronivirus lock-down continuous though things look much better. In the last days Cyprus marks single digit numbers. Actually I wasnt planning to start a new model so soon, but lock-down drove my hand to the cupboard where...

Hi, This is a build log of Panart’s 1/16 scale, Armed Pinnace, though as I commenced this model quite a number of years ago, the log actually starts from where I finished back then. If I’d known then what I know now about model ship/boat building, I would have approached the build of this kit...

Greetings to all. Not my first model but will be the first log I’ve attempted. I’m working from my phone as I don’t have a working computer at the moment so bear with me. I’ve resized this by emailing myself and using the resize option so hopefully, resolution will...

This will be my next build. I know that many of you boys out there like to scratch build, but I like kits - there's such a joy when that distinctive oblong box arrives and you open it up and see the wood and shiny things. I always get a thrill looking at the picture of the boat on the box lid...

Hi, Quick history of myself. I have always been a modeller, love putting things together.Mostly radio controlled warships. The last one i built was HMS Nurton, mostly scratch built, but it burnt me out. I have had a hiatus for about 15 years, but in that time have tried to build a couple of RC...

A introduction to another log I am posting.Unfortuneately I have a habit of not taking pics until the build is well underway.The kit is modified but I was determined to use as much of the kit castings as is possible.The first pics show the hull in first planking which is lime.Both lime and balsa...
