Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
A nice kit to build. It has several sheets with photoetched to complete the model. Perhaps the most complicated is the small pieces that detail the deck lights. I have made some small improvements to the main mast and the boats. I have [...]
This model kit is titled 'Medieval Life Boat' by ZVEZDA.
On reading up about it I found it was the type of boat used to transport men and stores to and from the ships used by the Crusaders. If required it could also be used as a ships [...]
I chose this title for a composition about a beautiful ship like the Uss Virginia. The ship appears simple and is pleasant to assemble, although with minor difficulties. The Kit is from Ciberhobby and accompanies a small set of [...]

Hello everyone. It's been a while since the last model so I had to get things going. I wanted to try one of the ship paper models for a change, so I pick an easy one, or so I thought... The Anna Maria Sophia (aka Sir Pitschek) is pretty [...]
Its been a labour of Love, 3 1/2 months in the making with a complete overhaul to the paintwork and architectural features, not to mention reinforcing the Masts and yards with dowels. I have also overhauled the rigging, ratlines, making [...]
I received this model a while ago as a gift. It was the first model of that company I ever got. It was also one of the first models I got. I really enjoyed putting it together. This is one of two models I got for VJ Day.
