amateur got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Flamborough Head Lighthouse by AJohnson - FINISHED - Paper Shipwright - 1:250
Although a lighthouse does not claasify as ‘non-shipping related’
Papershipwrihgt does have nice kits with loads of tiny parts. I’m trying to do one of the free downloads. Advantage of downloads: everything eaten by the carpet-monster can be reprinted.

amateur got a reaction from Keith Black in Schrouds Deadeye’s etc mystery
But that is my point: when you say ‘original’, some of us read ‘the situation as s functioning pond yacht’’, some us read ‘as a schooner of around 1900 would have been rigged’.
These two are fundamentally different, and lead to different reading suggestions, and different choices.
And given the rudder pin, and the lead keel this model has been a pond yacht at least once in its existence
Personally I would go for a pond-yacht rigging (although seeing the set-up for the sailboom, that doesnt look to have been self-tending, so there is some ambiguity in the rigging remnants)

I'm not an expert on pond-yachts, but I'm pretty sure that a pond yacht is not rigged as per Petersson's diagrams.
Pond yachts should be able to sail themselves, so they have a simplified rigging. I think that you need to have a serious look at the 1950's and earlier literature on rigging and sailing pond yachts. (as a pond yacht rigged like a model schooner will look a bit "unbalanced".

amateur reacted to ccoyle in Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat by ccoyle - FINISHED - GPM - 1/33 - CARD
Test fit of the instrument panel. Notice anything . . . odd? Yes, that's right -- there's a whole lot of bulkhead still showing. I have no idea why that should be so, and the diagrams give no hint either. I expect some minor surgery will be called for. BTW, the instruments are glazed.
BTW, I saw an announcement just recently that Card Army will be publishing another Wundermodell -- and it's a Hellcat. For certain it will be a. amazing, b. expensive, and c. beyond my abilities.

amateur got a reaction from thibaultron in SD 14 by Kevin - Marcle Models - 1/70 - CARD - Full build March 2022
Dutch quality engine
Don’t think SD14 ever had one of these (the info on the engine-model suggests it is early 1960-ies, the ship is eraly 70-ies.)
However, it is rather basic card-model, so it should scale down nicely, and it sure looks like a ships Diesel.

Is the engine part of the kit, or is the kit "only" the steel hull and superstructures?

For those not knowing: Kaap Skil is located on the Isle of Texel, Netherlands
It is a large diorama of the Dutch fleet supplying.
The diorama is build by the well known firm Artitec.
Worth visiting.

Mid-level of detail. Yeah…..
Labelling this as ‘mid-level’ reveals your true ambition level.
But although it is only midlevel detail, it is top-quality as far as I’m concerned.
