iModeler Ships

Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.

IModeler at the Movies – “Das Boot”.

This is the 1/72 Revell German Type VIIc kit finished as U-96, the inspiration for the movie. I built it pretty much out of the box with the exception of the swordfish decal which came from a German producer named Peddinghaus. They offer [...]

1/700 USS Baltimore CA-68

Trumpeter 1/700 USS Baltimore (1944) This is the first ship model I've attempted in some time using all the details (photo-etch, rigging, sea base, etc.). Pretty satisfied with the results but definitely room for improvement. USS Baltimore [...]

USS Texas

I am pretty new heater, and decided this would be a great place to upload my progress of my trumpeter USS Texas model. I’ve been working on it for about 3 1/2 weeks. And I’m a little under half way done.

K.u.K Torpedoboot SMS Elster – 1/350 WMM

My favourite model ship – SMS Elster, shown as on ca. 1901 – a small torpedo boat made using Schichau design for Austro-Hungarian Navy. It was my first full-resin multimedia kit built some time ago. I have updated it with some [...]

Torpedoboot V105 – 1/400 Mirage Hobby

This is my first "proper" build nearly 10 years ago after longer break from modelling. I chose 1/400 scale V106 torpedo boat kit from the Polish Mirage Hobby range. In addition I used dedicated Mirage PE set 008-40028 plus some [...]

Trumpeter 1/350 HMCS Huron, 1944

I received this kit for Christmas and I managed to finish it on New Year's Eve. It was a really fun build and very straight forward. The parts required minimal cleanup which is nice since there are so many tiny pieces. The only thing I [...]

Submarines

I never took any photos during the building of these models, so what you see is it. All of my submarines were built o.o.b. and painted per the kit instructions and places on the kit's little mounting stand. It was a joy to build them [...]

1/72 Scale Revell - PT-109

We all have hear about John F. Kennedy's life via the net, including newspaper print. While walking around in the hobby shop one evening back in 2012, I came across this 1/72 scale PT-109 model made by Revell. I ask "AL" at the [...]

Jumetois

Jumetois Scale: 1:250 Scratch built

1/450 scale La Real French Ship.

This is another model built o.o.b with a base, including some paper flags. On final assembly I noticed that one big sail had the wind coming into the sale at a different direction while the wind was coming into the other sail at an [...]
