sergal

IT FINALLY ARRIVED! Starting right Now Confirmed everything is there, sorted and bundled the lumber, drooled over all the brass and started the skeleton.

Hi All, I'm starting a build log for my Mantua Sergal HMS President kit. While this kit does not seem to be a model of a particular vessel, according to my very brief research, she represents an English "Sloop of War" from the mid 18C typically used for anti-smuggling and anti-privateer...

Hi guys. I started this build back in July and have been recording progress for family via smart phone. I have no excuse for not sharing it here with those that are invested in this crazy world of model building. So anyway without further a do I will embark upon this task now with considerable...

Picking up a 40 year old model I hope to complete. Open to any helpful comments as this was/is my first POB build :)

As a brand new member to the forums of Ships of Scale I am trying to find my way on the site, which will take som time, I think. Actually I am building the 'Cutty Sark' out of the Sergal-collection. I intend to place photographs of other models I have built the last 40 years, but first I need to...

Hello members, This is my first wooden boat build. Here are my starting pics.

The new kit arrived a few days ago, and after swapping the workbench over from electronics shop to shipyard, I'm ready to start build #2! President was actually my second choice, as I really wanted to build Thermopylae, but it was persistently our of stock, so I gave in to the itch and...

Just received the ‘Cutty Sark‘ kit and that will be my next project

Hi Everyone, I have wanted to build this kit for a longtime; I will “attempt” to super detail this project beyond the “out of the box” kit – as excellent as it is. I have the McKay book (filled with excellent line drawings and images; it will be an excellent guide, along with stunning museum...

The last two ships I did were the Mantua Victory and the Panart San Felipe, and the next one in the pipeline was the Mantua Sergal Soleil Royal. Although the Soleil Royal would present a challenge in terms of complexity, it wasn’t going to be substantively different than the previous two big...

Unpacking in Australia before sending to Thailand

This is my first kit build and first build log. Until now I’ve only built ships in bottles but fancied something bigger but not too complex. The detail on this kit seems quite basic or rather lacking in places, but I suppose you get what you pay for at this level, so I will add a few...

I started the model back in 2013 and it's still ongoing. It didn't come with sails so I built it for RC with twin screws and two tiny electric motors. As I progressed with the build I realized that with all the rigging there wouldn't be any way to get to the batteries and motors. So I decided to...

Since the level of detail a person may add and the availability and amount of research a person may chose to perform will vary with each modeler, the times I show are related to the actual work performed on the vessel. Each person’s ability to read and interpret plans can vary a great detail...
