el cid reacted to Nunnehi (Don) in Calypso by nunnehi - FINISHED - Billing Boats - 1:45
Back in February, Luekutus started a build log for the Billings Calypso which jogged me into finishing a project that I started probably 10 years ago. I really appreciate that he has planked his, it looks great and I’m looking forward to seeing more! My goal was to build a nice model for the mantel that was a good scale and not a warship. While I’ve done some basic research, my model is not 100% accurate and I’ve taken some artistic license in some areas.
The Billings kit is crude by today’s standards but can be spiced up with a bit of detailing and is the best available today in a large scale. The helicopter supplied is AWFUL! I’ve given up on trying to make it look nice and am looking for an after market substitute in 1:48 that’s close. I added some 1:48 welding gas cylinders that look fine and the rope I’ve used is the truly nice stuff from Syren. Most of the trim is Evergreen and a lot of the wood is from my spares stash.
Enjoy,
Don

Great project Yves. Those wheels are gorgeous!
In 1972, I rebuilt this 450 Honda. The 450 was a huge step up from the CB350, the dual overhead cams made a big difference. Standing beside me is my older brother who helped me with the project. He and I were both motorcycle fanatics.

Royal Navy Brig HMS Black Joke intercepts a Spanish 'Slaver' off the west coast of Africa. 'Black Joke', probably built in Baltimore, was captured by the British and became part of the 'West Africa' squadron suppressing the Slave Trade. She went on to become one of the most successful ships in the Squadron, freeing hundreds of Slaves.
