  1. Try Mamoli, must be the worst there is. Not only is the lack of instruction bad but there is not even enough wood in the kit.
  2. 70 euro + shipping is not what i would call cheap.
  3. They have got a lot of complaints for the poor quality of their motor on the circular table saw (KS 230).
  4. I did read it in this article, there they say Contact Glue is good for the second planking layer. https://www.modelerscentral.com/model-ship-building/what-glues-paints-do-i-need-for-a-model-ship/
  5. Hello I this a good glue to use for the second layer planking and deck planking? What is the best method to apply contact glue, brush? Rolf
  6. Was this a real ship? Looks a little cartoonish but very beautiful.
  7. If you live outside usa witch most people do Proxxon is a brand they sell in many country's. Cost a lot but it is a niche marked and the options for mini hobby tools are slim.
  8. Most beautiful build i have ever seen. i can't imagine how it is possible to get all those tiny details on something that small.
  9. The building instructions cant get better than AL i guess (deagostini looks good too), they basically spoon feed you how to build the ship.
  10. It is in the shopping cart now 😁 The building instructions for this model is amazing.
  11. Many years since they stopped selling computers with that, even diy cases dont even have space for them
  12. Thank you. I have built RC aircraft from wood before and plastic models so i think i will be able to build something more advanced then the most basic models. I will try on the Black Prince first but if i see that i need something simpler i will buy the model Polaris from OcCre. I don't think they sell Model Shipway models here and importing these even if they are cheap to buy at a store they will become twice the price or more when shipping, import charges and vat is paid. It make more sense to import an expensive model. Many years ago i bought the model Harvey from Artesania to my dads 65 years birthday and he had never built a wooden ship before just some plastic models of aircrafts and one small plastic ship (that i know of). But he built that boat with no help from others or internet in under 3 months and the result was perfect, so if i have a 1/4 of his natural talent i will be fine.
  13. Hello. Yes i will do that so i don't do any major mistakes and learn to do it the right or best way on my first build.
  14. Thanks. Looked at the drawings and building instructions to the Black Prince and they are pretty vague so i will be asking a lot i guess.
  15. Hello from Norway I am new to ship building and found two models from Mamoli that i will try to build first. I bought them new from a guy for 120 usd for both. If i do well i will go for a large model of either Wasa, Soleil Royal, Victory or Santisima Trinidad. Will put out pictures during the build, so now i just have to wait for all my tools to arrive.
