Ooh, ooh! There's supposed to be a picture of my HMS Folke in that book! I hope it made the cut!

As Mark points out, all the posts linked to above fall under fair use law, at least here in the U.S. The U.S. Copyright Office gives the following criteria for judging fair use:
The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes The nature of the copyrighted work The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work. All the pictures linked to above are clearly posted for review purposes and not for commercial use, consist of only a small part of the copyrighted content (in the case of the JoTiKa pictures), and clearly do not detract from the commercial value of the material in question -- in fact, such use actually provides a valuable service to the manufacturers whose images are used.
I agree with Chuck -- our staff is pretty good at catching copyright infringement, and the chance of true infringement happening here, as such infringement is defined by law, is remote.

ccoyle got a reaction from popeye the sailor in HMS Fly by ccoyle - FINISHED - Amati/Victory Models - 1/64
OK, I'm going to try and recreate parts of my build log for HMS Fly. I have been working on this model for so long that it has now gone through the deaths of two sites - once at the old Dry Dock Models, and once during the Great Crash of 2013.
First a little back story. I bought this kit waaaaay back in 2006 - it was one of the very first production kits off the line. It should be done by now, and if it were anyone else but me, it probably would be. But that's not the way I build. My modeling urges come in intermittent fits and spurts - periods of great progress followed by usually long spells of inactivity, at least on the wood front. I also build card ships and 1/33 scale card aircraft, so sometimes when you see Fly come to a halt, it means I have some other project on the front burner.
During the ensuing years, many fine models of Fly and her sister, Pegasus, have been completed here at MSW, so I will not go back to the very beginning and show all the basic framing and planking, etc. Instead, I will highlight some of the bashing I did to the basic kit, mostly to give other builders some hints about what can be done with it. I'm not actually working on Fly at the moment, so don't expect updates in the very near future. Mostly I'm doing this to create a placeholder of sorts.
So, on we go!

ccoyle got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in Puigcerda by ccoyle - FINISHED - Paper Shipwright - CARD
And before you know it, it's done! Actually, I didn't take many pictures during construction because I was in some haste to get this model finished in time for a convention. So, here it is. The railings are made from thread using the supplied jig and the technique mentioned in my log for Folke.
Thanks for looking!

ccoyle got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Puigcerda by ccoyle - FINISHED - Paper Shipwright - CARD
The Spanish monitor Puigcerda (named for the city in Catalan and the only monitor ever to serve in the Spanish navy) was commissioned in 1875. She displaced 553 tons and carried three bronze muzzle-loaders, one of 12 cm and two of 10 cm. After brief service during the Third Carlist War, she was laid up until the Spanish-American War in 1898. Re-armed with two 16 cm guns and two 12 cm guns, she patrolled the Vigo River during that conflict. She was sold out of the service in 1900 and converted to a civilian steamer.
Puigcerda is another of the excellent offerings from Paper Shipwright. Designer David Hathaway's models are well regarded for their fit and detail. Despite their small size and relatively low parts count, builders should have some experience working with card due to the number of very small parts.
My kit was a laser reprint sold by Paper Models International; their website is still up, but hasn't been updated in ages. The kit includes several pages of parts, instructions, diagrams, and railing jigs.

ccoyle got a reaction from James H in Folke by ccoyle - FINISHED - Paper Shipwright - CARD
I built this model in the spring of 2011. Folke was one of a small class of monitors built for the Swedish navy. Alone among her sisters, she carried her main gun facing aft, the idea being that she could cover a flotilla in the event of a withdrawal. My particular kit is the laser reprint sold by Paper Models International, but the model can also be purchased directly from Paper Shipwright. Owner David Hathaway has designed a number of monitor kits, as well as a variety of working craft. These kits are well-regarded in the card modeling community for their fit and detail.
The kit includes the printed parts on two sheets, instructions, diagrams, and railing templates. Step one is to build up the egg-crate style hull skeleton and attach the deck and sides, all temporarily affixed to a sheet of glass to prevent warpage.
