unicorn model

Hello. I have been working on the french longboat for two weeks or more. I decided to start a build log. There are a couple of other build logs I have found including Tim Green and RTWPSOM2 which I have reviewed and admired the work. I'm a low level modeler but still enjoying this hobby...

Hello everyone, I received the package this morning, arriving in just under a week. Everything was very well packaged. I'll start building after Christmas. However, there are no planking strips in the box, everything is pre-formed. This makes assembly easier. We'll see how it turns out.

Hello folks, I too have decided to build the kit. I hope Richard can help me. The kit is really very nice and well made. I just had to build it, even if my Athena is a bit neglected for it. I'm very curious to see if I can build this scale without completely messing it up. I've decided to post...

I'm taking a break from the 1:96 scale HMS Enterprise to start work on this and will start with an unboxing of sorts..................... The product is beautifully presented in very well designed and delightful lasercut box, sealed with thin strips of paper in a very Oriental style. The...

A Partial Build Log of my 1:24 French Longboat in Pearwood. This is what I'm building ... and it's my first build log - that said, let's start. I say partial, because I'm 2 weeks into this build already. My experience - I have 4 unfinished kits in my workshop and 4 finished models on...

I got this kit from Dry-Dock (thanks guys) for $170 with free shipping. I received the kit yesterday, Friday, August 15th, 2025 and did not pay any tariffs or import fees. Mostly these are just random shots of the progress, but I do have a couple of notes. These are H6, they are meant to...

Hi all The Anatomy of the Bounty, by Artesania Latina, first version (~30 years old kit) was finished. Now I am building the Gunboat Philadelphia as part of Olha Batchvarov Facebook group built. Every weekend, Olha built a section, that takes her around 2-3 hours. More or less the same amount...

This is my first posting as I just joined SoS. Before i start, a little about myself. My name is Henry and I'm 74 years old. I built my first wooden ship kit around 1985, Mamoli's USS Constitution Cross Section, that was a gift from my then fiancée, now my wife of nearly 40 years. I next...

Hello, this is Unicorn model from China, I’m now bringing you the new 1:48 aft midship cross-section of Bonhomme Richard 1779. The old Bonhomme Richard cross section kit has been launched for many years, although there are some upgrades and improvements, and a few modelers have made wonderful...

I started something new and small .... HMS Druid 1776 stern cross section in scale 1/128 I bought it years ago very cheap and just and found it in my stash recently. The manual is a bad printed joke but there are some helpful buildlogs around :-) Unfortunately, one thing I notice again and...

DHL delivery from China Today!!! I'll post a few pictures from the unboxing below. Next post, I'll discuss my thoughts on making a duplicate with a bunch of Alder I have from a recent project. First impressions: 1. Kit arrived via DHL in Eight days! It was well packed and looked pristine...

I have started the druid build my first POF kit!! I started as Donnie suggested building the framing jig, and started assembling the ribs this looks like quite a job each rib is 2 layers and there are a lot of them!! took me a while to figure out the rib sequence sometimes I can be really...

Hello folks, I'm back with the new log build of USS Bonhomme Richard - POF from "Unicorn Model". My progress will be slow, it is my second ship model. I'm a bit "green" with ship construction and experience, technics. I would like to thank this forum for great posts and logs. Following...

So this won't be a build log for a little while, I am working on a couple other things to improve my skills before I tackle these big ones, but I thought I'd do an unboxing of the kit to get things started. Here's box 1, part 1:

Hello everyone, here is the beginning of my building log. Sanding the frames took me a lot of time, but I finally finished sanding with 80/100/120 paper. I will continue with the 220 to have a good rendering. However I have a problem, if someone can help me. Should the spacer rods be glued...

Yeah, another one. There are already so many builds, of such high quality, that I'm sure you're thinking we don't need another one. But I'm hoping that my build might provide some interesting discussion, and the build will definitely be from a professional non-perfectionist viewpoint. Besides...

Hi everyone and merry Christmas here is my christmas present, arrived just in time. I just unpacked everything, I must admit it's very small. It was noted instructions in English but I did not see anything like it. So I don't know if I should glue certain pieces or not. If anyone on the forum...

Unboxing / Kit Review: The kit was already partly shown in the past - nevertheless I like to show it in detail If you are looking for something interesting in between or as a christmas gift for a friend or yourself ....... or is the CAF model in 1:48 too big for your workshop ..... 1:160...

Well, I WAS going to build the Druid stern section. And I still will. But this hobby is all about the new shiney thing, right? ...So I'm building this instead. Then I'll do the druid. Here's the kit, all built up from their Face Page. It has precisely one million microscopic bits that...

Hi All This is my build-log of the Enterprize stern-section in 1/160 scale by Chinese manufacturer Unicorn models. There are two wood versions you can choose from: Boxwood (buxus on the website) or Pearwood. I’m building the Boxwood version which is slightly more expensive. I paid 77 dollars...
