Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
I've posted previous Headlines articles about this wooden ship model (Panart 1/47), as recently as a month ago, even though it wasn't a completed project. This was because as a two-year, intermittent build, there wasn't enough momentum for [...]
Every educated person knows, that the main problem with the plastic model industry is, that there are so few kits of italian cruisers from WWII.;-)
The only injection moulded ones I know of are Tauro's kits in 1:400 of the four cruisers of [...]
I finished the USS Hornet in January 2006. The kit leaves a lot to be wished for. The general shape of the hull is incorrect and the stem in particular is faulty and very clumsy. I strengthened it from the inside with pieces of scrap [...]
Hello all,
I'd like to present my Revell Charles W. Morgan. I read a lot about this model on the dedicated modeling sites before starting. Wrong sailplan, wrong colours... I just started building and painting according to my vision of a [...]
Liberty ships were mass produced during WW2 to meet the losses caused by the german U-boats. Jeremian O'Brien is one of the two Liberty ships in the world that is still preserved, lying moored in San Francisco as a museum ship. She is kept [...]
Hellers Gneisenau in 1:400 was my first build of a major ship, where I went out of my way to improve an old kit. The Gneisenau was also the first build, where I documented everything I did with a camera.
At this time, around 2004, Heller [...]
This is the British yacht, “Royal Caroline (1749)”, a 1:47 scale wooden ship, from Panart.
Some of you may recall previous postings of this ship in earlier phases. An intermittent project, revisited for a week or so every few months, [...]
Revells S-Boot is an excellent kit of the best motor torpedo boat of the WWII.
The S-Boote were developed by the german navy in the twenties and were built by the Lürssenwerft. Their long hulls with rounded bottoms gave them sea keeping [...]
I finished the König in August 2003. She was my first battleship build in 1:350 and a very important step for me as a modeller.
Although ICM's kit is some fifteen years old now, it's still a good kit and in one respect a better kit than [...]
The USS Buchanan was one of 66 Gleaves Class destroyers, a typical representative of the destroyers the US built during the years before the war.
She served in the Pacific during most of the war, starting with the battles around [...]
