Oh, another MarisStella Trabaccolo build to follow. I assume you've seen the one that @aliluke started.

Excellent result, despite the fight it put up. The carbon fiber decals, the finish on the exhaust, and the finish on the body all stand out to me. That's such an iconic livery from the days I actually followed F1. And of course any car driven by Senna is a little bit extra special.

Take a look in the "our stance on piracy" section. Those sellers are on the banned list and there was a recent post there asking about the Hayling Hoy.

Hello and welcome to MSW from a former and possibly future Hoosier. Grew up in Fort Wayne but have friends and family there and in Indy as well.

I saw the new constitution as well, as I am on their mailing list. They mention this is their first wooden ship kit. They are more known for the car models. There is a build log or two for their Shelby Cobra in the "non-ship/categorized builds" area. The cars are roughly the same price, though I assume they come from a different supplier than the constitution since the kits are so different. I've been tempted by one or two of the cars but it seems to be more just a process of assembling a bunch of bits with less opportunity to paint or customize or otherwise make it your own. Though I did see one build log on youtube where they stripped the paint from the metal body and painted it a different color....or at least they started to as I don't recall seeing the finished product.

Oh, I assumed you removed that door in the back, but it sounds like you are leaving it there. If so, then it makes more sense.
-
Interesting project and thought behind the design. One question though.... In your drawing, you show some space behind the pilot house like on the Lula. But if you have moved the door from the back to the side, is that space back there really needed? If not, the pilot house could be moved back a bit. As it is now, it seems like it would be awkward to use the door. One would have to stand at the very front edge or corner of the platform to swing open the door and get in to the pilot house. Moving the pilot house back would leave more room to walk past the door before opening it.

The ZHL kit is listed as double plank on bulkhead so not the same. Note that ZHL is also on the list of "banned" manufacturers.

Glad to see you back at the workbench. Hope life is getting closer to normal for you and all those in your area. -
Excellent progress and I can see why you chose that particular picture as the basis for your carving, that is a good pose. I'll be interested to see how the carving goes. I've dabbled in a little bit of wood carving over the last year, carving a couple of dogs and a penguin.

Absolute beginner here - new to ship modeling
gsdpic replied to AlanR's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome. The typical response to a beginner is to point to the three kit beginner set from Model Shipways. The Dory referenced above is one of them. As for Chris Craft (or other mahogany speed boats), the main kit supplier is Dumas. They have two lines....one simpler, very small scale line of boats that are about a foot long and are generally less than 100 bucks. Then they also have the same boats in larger scale, much more complex and much more expensive kits that are intended for RC though can be built as static models. I built their large triple cockpit barrel back many years ago as a static model. Bluejacket (MSW sponsor) also has a couple of mahogany speed boat kits, as does Mack products/Legend boats, though without the Chris Craft name, though the latter sells some of the Dumas Chris Craft kits also. Many of the mahogany speed boat kits are intended for RC operation so you might find more info and build logs and such on forums intended for RC boats. For these types of boats, the finishing (stain, paint, varnish) is much more important than for typical ship models, so it would be helpful if you have some experience in that area as well. At least you don't have to deal with any rigging. -
Wow this looks like a cool but formidable project. Definitely on the "temptation list". Do you know if this is a kit version of the Ancre monograph for Le Requin? I wonder if that monograph would be of help in building the kit. In the past I've wished that I had the talent and dedication to scratch build from that monograph, but maybe this kit would be doable.

Ferrari 250 GTO by CDW - Model Factory Hiro - 1:12 Scale
gsdpic replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Good references....I also have a 1/24 250 GTO in the stash. Haynes has a series of those "owners workshop manuals" that are more documentation of historic vehicles rather than their traditional repair manuals. I bought one for the Ferrari 512 S/M race car when I built one of those. And they do not just cover cars....I bought one for the Sopwith Camel when I was working on the A/L Sopwith Camel. -

Wait, I thought over in @DocRob's shelby cobra log you said that you bought the MFH 1960 Corvette. I'll follow along either way. I am most tempted by the Eagle Gurney Weslake F1 car and I see that spotmodel claims to have a couple in stock. I keep telling myself I prefer plastic or wood over metal. But I've been on a break from building anything last couple months...maybe pulling the trigger on that would get me inspired again.
