All right, here we go,, I finishing up my Amati Vanguard now as my “learning” ship and am now taking on the Victory which has been my dream for build for the last 30 years since before medical school. I did not make a log of the the Vanguard as I was afraid to show my mistakes and was afraid of...

While waiting to hear more about Pavel's 1/64 scale San Bartolome, I needed something else to work on, so I decided to start this build of a Victory 32-Pounder. A bit of background: When building my Corel HMS Victory cross section kit, I felt the guns included were not to scale. Especially...

Hi to all and welcome to my first build log. So, in case you are wondering why on earth would I want to choose this as a first build of a wooden ship? Simple answer is because I love large models and this has been on my bucket list for a number of years and a few months ago I got the chance to...

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...

And so it begins: I purchased this kit back in 2014 ( 8 YEARS AGO) for $1,400 Australian. After finishing 4 previous models ( CC Endeavour, Occre Albatros, Amaiti Stage Coach & Occre Stephensons Rocket) I was hooked on wood kits. I had a windfall and invested in the kit. I was keeping it till...

I found this little kit on the Internet and bought it because i was curious about it and i couldn't resist to buy it for only 25 euro. Yesterday it got delivered and i just open it. Can't say it does look bad, and the building plans doesn't look bad at all. But its amazing small with a lot...

Hi, I started building this model way, way back, after a break of about 40 years since the typical adolescent modelling experience. I then parked it for quite a few years as there were more important things calling on my time, but picked it up again proper earlier this year. This coincided with...

Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. I’m Tom based in Manchester, UK. I’ve been modelling since I was teenager. I have started with plastic models of aircrafts as it was quite easy one. Then I moved to paper models – this gave me a chance to really work on the details and creativity. I’ve...

I am starting a new project. The same customer provided me with a job again. This will be the VICTORI model by Deagostini magazines. The project is long-term, therefore, for a long time. I will try to make a decent model out of it. So, let's begin.

Hi friends hope everyone is well and has been vaccinated. Now I am waiting for the heat wave to retreat to a more normal temperature. After my construction of Halcon and Harvey, I was inspired to continue with another project. "HMS Victory" I ordered a kit from China (Aliexpress) for under $ 30...

Looking for a little help from anyone who has used Shape Ways for detail parts... I ordered these side galleries balusters in 1/100 scale but they are too small. The designer has yet to help with how to go about getting some that are more to scale of the model. Don't get me wrong they did...
