Unpacking the box Have to catch up a little been working on the ship for about a month now.

Here is a bit of a retrospective dating back around ten years to when I started this project! I'm hoping for some help and guidance with the string element of the project which is looming ever closer now! I'm not going to bore you with the frame and plank stuff as it all looks pretty similar on...

Just joined the forum as you have some really interesting stuff going on! Let's get this out of the way - I'm mostly an aviation modeller (there I said it) but do have one ship build under my belt - USS Arizona in 1/200th, The reason I'm here though, is this lady:- I've been working on...

Today I want to show you one of my favourite kits I have stored, hope to build it once. It is the scale 1:64 kit of HMS Agamemnon 1781, a 64 gun ship of the line of the Ardent-class, which is produced by JOTIKA Ltd. from UK In Germany and some other countries it is sold via Krick under their...

This will be a brand new build log for the Caldercraft HM Gunboat William in 1:32 scale. I thought this would be a good follow-up to my Civil War Picket boat. By the weight of the box this feels like a beefy kit. All the parts are CNC cut so no laser char to sand. There are also some very...

Hi Donnie/everyone and greetings from the UK. I’ve built models all my life, most lately plastic scale armour (I like Tamiya kits for the accuracy of the mouldings and detail) which I put into diorama scenes. I have only made one wooden ship before. My Dad was a good modeller and I bought him...

Hello to all, I've been building this kit (my 3rd ship) for some time now, I'm already a bit far into the build but I thought I'd share my progress here. It's better late than never right? ;-) For some historical info, this model is based on a captured American Brig in 1777, whose original...
