This is my first ever wooden kit. I have Scratch built, using a supplied hull, various British Navy ships, and one other wooden kit. That was a total failure, not even good for the fire as I had resorted to Cyno as a last ditch repair. It failed. So I am going to need a lot of hand holding...

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 everyone, here is what I received for my birthday which is approaching soon. This is the 1:96 scale La Salamandre. It's a very small boat but I think it could be interesting. The wood looks good quality, the laser cuts also. Here are some pictures of what's in the box. the assembly...

Since the development of HMS Blandford(←you can click this to access that thread), I've been receiving some feedback about the difficulty it looks. Indeed, to make a big POF kit like that would require years of modelling experience, so how modelers without that much of experience can enjoy POF...

Since I am in the same city as the designer of this model, I am fortunate enough to get this model in the first place, I will post the build process of the kit here, during the construction process I will make some modifications to the kit, add some The cabin details, there is no cabin structure...

I finally started with the Trident kit, so this will be the start of my build log. I started building the berth 4 days ago. Let me start this with a little "rant": As we all probably do, I really hate the laser char on the MDF. It smells bad and with the constantly black fingers you smear the...

I've reached a bit of a milestone with 'Granado', in that I have finished all the frames, and I'm now ready to start fairing up the hull. 'What?' do I hear you say - 'I thought Ted was building 'La Salamandre!' Well, yes - he was! I'd better tell you the tale. Many, many years ago, when I was a...

First of all, congratulations to CAF on launching Granado kit, which is a very successful kit and has a lot to learn from. Recently, many friends asked me about the development level of Granado kit and when to launch it. Now let's explain it here. Granado kit is the second kit designed by us. We...

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...

Today I began the Unicorn Model's miniature kits of the HMS Druid cross sections. The first is the stern cross section and the second kit is the middle cross section. The stern cross section came out about a year before the middle cross section. I have had both for a few months now and always...
