Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.

HMS Prince of Wales 1941, Flyhawk 1/700

This is one of my favourite ships, but I have hesitated to post it because, after all, I had built it a bit long time ago. To be honest, it was my first Flyhawk kit and my first attempt at rigging. Again, as before, I cheated with the [...]

HMAS Warramunga, I.44 RAN, Korea 1951.

1/350 Trumpeter, Tribal class destroyer, built 2020 - 2023 for the Korea GB, more pic's and details there.

HMS Belfast 1943, Trumpeter 1/700

It's been a while since I posted. This time it's HMS Belfast. This is a ship that reminds me of when I worked in London about 25 years ago. My office faced the Thames, and seeing her was my daily life. She was actually there wearing this [...]

Revell 1/144 Type VIIc U-boat, U-96, the 'laughing sawfish'.

This is Revell's original issue Type VIIc U-boat in 1/144. I replaced the ladders and tower handrails with brass wire, thinned the kit winter garden and hull handrails, detailed the guns, and removed the round sockets that were molded on [...]

Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat

Finally calling this complete - built on the 8th February 2024. Started it in 2022 and it sat on my shelf of shame for approx 1 year. My Airfix 1/72 Severn Class Lifeboat. This has been one of the worst models I have ever built. It fights [...]

Fujimi 1/700 HMS Eagle (a blast from the past)

Dear friends While working on my next model, I share today pictures of an older build. This was completed more than 3 years ago, and was my first 1/700 ship, and also my first sea base. I decided to share images of this model to [...]

U-123 , Type IXb U-boat, Operation 'Drumbeat', 1942

Something different for me, I tried a sub! This is Academy's 1/150 Type IXb U-boat that was kitted as a motorized pool toy! It was accurate in size and outline, but very basic, had a huge, square keel to house a single electric motor and a [...]

J.M.S.D.F. DDG-174 Kirishima (Kongo- Class Destroyer) (1/700)

J.M.S.D.F. DDG-174 Kirishima By Hasegwa (30045, Hyper Detail) in 1/700 scale. My first experience with Hasegawa kits, 1/700 scale, ships and the ocean 😄 Some things happened durung processing, some time passed by, but in the end I'm [...]

USS North Carolina BB55, Revell 1/570 scale

Originally released in 1969, this off scale kit of the North Carolina depicts the ship as she was end /post war configuration with her main deck forward AA guns removed. Commissioned in 1937. She was the first of the fast battle ships. [...]

SM U-9

Hello all, Here is my attempt at the 1/72 Das Werk SM U9. I have to say I really enjoyed this kit. It goes together very easily and is engineered well. Most of the effort on this was spent on painting and weathering. I used Model Master [...]
