Hello everyone, I would like to introduce you to a small kit from Corel that I have been working on for the last three months. As usual with Corel, the wood is of excellent quality and plentiful. The same goes for the rigging. However, I have to criticise the cast metal parts, as they are of poor quality and break easily. The construction plans are, as is also typical for Corel, somewhat unusual and require careful study. However, the assembly instructions are very detailed. The canvas, which I did not use, seems a little too thick, but is of good quality. However, I must point out that the representation of the gaff sail in particular cannot be used as a template, as it is simply incorrect. In addition, the construction plan contains a somewhat hidden reference to the yards, but does not mention the sails. All in all, it is a nice kit that is fun to build, but not necessarily recommended for absolute beginners. However, this is typical for this manufacturer.

And here it is. Very old and very nice Wood.

Hello again, A conversation with the seller shed some light on the matter. The manufacturer is indeed Naval Models, a Dutch company that still exists. However, they now specialise in plastic models. The kit is said to date back to the 1960s. So we exchanged various details, and now he is waiting for his money and I am waiting for a box of wood. I will keep you posted.

Hello everyone, Does anyone happen to know the manufacturer Oktopus in this context? I have the opportunity to get a Paranzella kit. But I can't find anything about the manufacturer online; it's supposed to be Italian. Greetings from the Palatinate

Hello everyone, As you can see, the yards and bowsprit are also finished. So all the woodwork except for the dinghies is done. But the whole thing is going away for now, as I have more important things to do for the next three months. I recently went to the furniture store with the Admiralty ‘just to have a look’. After two leisurely cups of coffee, a small stack of papers was placed on the table with the comment, ‘Sign at the bottom right.’ Now I have to tear out our 45-year-old kitchen and, after so many years, renovate the space, which makes sense. Before that, I need to set up an outdoor kitchen in the courtyard behind the house, as I would like to continue to eat. So if I find time to do some DIY in between, I will probably continue working on the Ranger. I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hello everyone, After spending some time working on the Ranger from Corel, it was time to get back to this fine piece. As you can see, the masts are almost finished. They still need their tops, ropes, and blocks, and they will be waxed and polished. Then they will go into the display case on the ship so they are out of the way when I finish the yards. Best regards

Korabel in Ukraine (Not Master Korabel)
Pfälzer replied to modeller_masa's topic in Wood ship model kits
Hello everyone, The package actually arrived today. Anyone who took a closer look at the box probably guessed, as I did, that something about it seemed familiar. And yes, the guess is correct: the contents are identical to those of dear Pavel Nikitin. At the same time, I found a Facebook post from 2019 that finally confirms the whole thing. It appears to be his first version of the Oseberg, which is also evident from the excellent quality of the materials. Sixteen solid wood panels in various thicknesses and two plywood panels for the basic frame. Canvas, ropes and a few nails. Three A0 sheets of plans and illustrated building instructions in English and Ukrainian complete the package. I am personally very excited about the contents, pack everything back up nicely and store it in the cupboard until existing projects are completed.
