Does anybody have some experience with CAF Models ?
ccoyle replied to yvesvidal's topic in Wood ship model kits
Le Requin is one of the CAF kits that is unavailable at the moment pending a finalized licensing agreement between CAF and Ancre. -
Depending on how slight the warp is and how the hull substructure is designed to go together, it's possible the parts may lock together in a manner that sufficiently straightens the assembly.

Hello and yet another Syren in progress
ccoyle replied to Kevin53's topic in New member Introductions
Very hard pressed to tell that that is a first model -- well done! -
YTL-45 Taiwanese Navy tugboat by Erik W - FINISHED - 1/350 scale
ccoyle replied to Erik W's topic in Plastic model kits
Fabulous execution of an unusual subject! -
Any kit under $20, regardless of point of origin, is bound to be a highly-simplified, toy-like project.

Welcome! Being an amateur genealogist in addition to a middling-ability ship modeler, I know how rewarding it is to be able to know so much about an early ancestor. Yours had quite the adventure!

Always nice to see a build log back from the dead. Good luck on your project!

Welcome aboard! The Midwest smack was my very first wooden boat model.

No need to. Just continue to add posts -- the page will roll over once it reaches a preset post count.

New US carrier to be named for a WWII hero, not a president
ccoyle replied to mtaylor's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I agree with Hank. Up until the advent of the Nimitz-class, naming carriers after persons was rare. Now of course it is the norm. I much prefer the tradition of the old convention of naming carriers after historical battles (e.g. Coral Sea, Bunker Hill) or previous warships (e.g. Enterprise, Wasp). -
Welcome, Max! I hope you will enjoy your time spent here. Cheers!

Are we talking SMS Scharnhorst/Gneisenau or DKM Scharnhorst/Gneisenau?
-
Yep, ZHL is a known and well-documented IP thief and thus a non-starter at MSW.
-
Your work is very neat to this point, Daniel.

Chris, have you ever considered something like crowd funding for the development of a product like Sovereign? I know that some niche musical artists are doing something similar to fund new recordings. I think that some modelers might not mind pitching in if they knew that their contributions were going to help make one of their dream models a reality.

Of course, I should add that Dirk has done an exceptional amount of super-detailing on his model, which you might also choose to do, but the kit makes a great model straight out of the box, too.
-
Depends on how sure-handed you are. I have built all of my hulls without a keel clamp and have only burned and/or nicked myself a few times. Sherbourne is a great kit -- instructions are a little sparse, but plenty of build logs here. Especially have a look at Dirk's (Dubz). It's a gem.

Hello, iosto! I have moved this log to the kit builds section since you are starting with the CAF kit. This is a good example of a 'kit-bashed' or super-detailing project. Cheers!
