This is build #3 for this kit for me in the last 45ish years. Hope this one survives for a while, and comes out better than the other two. For the first one (my first big kit and first boat) I followed colors and layout much like what was on the box circa the late 70's. The second build in...

Hello All, Though I'm really wanting to try wooden ship modeling, I'm really a plastic guy...nearly all my modeling experience has been in styrene. This one presents a unique challenge because it's a material I'm most familiar with but I'm tasked with making it look like an entirely different...

Hello everyone, this will be my first build log here and mostly my first build log anywhere so hopefully as I move along threw the build I'll get better at sharing the good stuff with you all. The Kit is the Revell Platinum Edition 1/350 USS New Jersey post 1982 era The cool thing about this...

... likely to end in frustration, tears, and cursing. Or quietly fade away in shame. ;] Hi, my name's Richard and I'm a modelholic. (Others: "Hi, Richard.") I'm in the process of a second attempt to build the ubiquitous Revell 1:96 USS Constitution kit. My first attempt was in 1970. I received...

A while back I posted a log on the Heller HMS Victory I was working on, which I then parked in order to make the Revell Cutty Sark 1:96. The idea was to take a break from Vicrtory and work on something easier, preferably building more or less straight out of the box and being done and dusted in...

When I saw tugboat models made by Barry (Mighty Mite) and Careloo (Ulysses), I also wanted to build an interesting old tugboat. I started looking for a kit and came across a Revell model: It is as old as the World model. Not the best quality but I could not find any other old plastic tugboat...

I plan on following a youtube tutorial on modeling the wreck of RMS Titanic. I will use the 1/570 Revell model as it is an old molding and has fitting issues, which is perfect for the amount of destruction that will be modeled. The wreck model will be small, 10 inches (25 cm) by 2 inches (5...

Just finished my first ever sailing ship! My best guess as to how she appeared in 1818.

My HiS carronade gun carriages for the spar deck on the 1/96 Connie arrived, but with no instructions, and I'm having a hard time finding any instructions on the net. Is anyone familiar with these carriages? They will certainly look better than the plastic kit carriages. I am redoing the pin...

I've been visiting this forum for a long time and I always find something interesting and motivating, and today I need help because I wanted to start a project long ago, I decided to start with the preliminaries of this kit that I have years ago, I think that since it was released , and I start...

Hello Guys, in my ship yard's "dust collecting corner" is standing the old Revell's kit of Peter Pan. Here the kit's history: https://www.scalemates.com/de/kits/revell-kikoler-h-377-jolly-roger--1170339 This kit was one of my very first kits I can really had had built in my childhood (as...

Here goes, my "first" ship kit build. I say first because the others I made were as a teenager and I didn't really put much time or effort into those. Anyway, the HMS Bounty by Revell. Old mould that dates back to 1956. Was state of the art then, not so much anymore. The kit has many issues with...

I'm building this while also building my first wooden ship (Rattlesnake, ME version, build log has also been started). Painted the hull along the lower deck gun ports on both halfs, then the hull. This model is extremely basic, it was a gift from a young family member.

Hi all. I’m Paul and have decided to take up modeling again. I used to build some in high school but now 35 yrs later I decided to give it a shot. I went with the USS Constitution as I retired from the Navy and wanted to do something historical. I’ll post pics as I progress. I’ve been at it for...

Hi Guys, wanted to share with you all my plastic production. I built it over the years. The Pirate Ship took my about 9 months. H.M.S. around 5 and Cuty Shark (it was my firts) few months I do not remeber exactly. First set of pictures is from 2015. The second set is current. Also the shelfs...

I have the Revell 1/426 USS Arizona model kit and wish to build a diorama of the Arizona Memorial. Here are some photos for inspiration.

Hi everyone, here's a link to my blog where I'm attempting my first model build ever. I chose a pretty difficult one apparently but I'm excited to see how it turns out. I started the Revell 1:96 USS Constitution build a year ago and then took a long break but I'm back now to try and finish it...

I just acquired the Revell 1/72 scale pirate ship model, a rebox of the Zvezda Black Swan. Due to one major issue it pretty much can only be built as a model of one of the ships from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The issue is the location of the capstan around the base of the main mast...
