kit review Kit Review - HMS ENTERPRIZE (1774) by CAF MODELS
Kevin replied to kljang's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
lovely review, After a couple of messages with @cafmodel i have part1 being dispatched from China today, I look forward to working on this, and creating a build log -
coming to the end of the best submarine built i have ever seen, and in all the time i have watched you bring this build together, i have not seriously wanted to try it myself, all the time i have spent at sea in one means i could not replicate the memories

good evening everyone took a break from the Dorade for a couple weeks, as i wanted to progress the AV the hull has been sanded and primed 3 times now and as a result, it is much better, deck planking in 3mm lime, means she will look totally different to the real thing, thats by choice and intentional

Good evening everyone dont think i have ever built anything, quite like this, yes the box art is very different to the kit, but for an OOB kit the instructions are good, the material is good, everything fits, and it is certainly a nice looking subject, would be even better if i was a half decent builder the deck fittings have had attention today, the cockpit breakwater, cabin hosing and various bits are in progress on the table, including making your own blocks

kit review 1:32 Fifie – The Scottish Motor Fishing Vessel by Amati

it is about time we had new lads on the block supporting the hobby we enjoy, I hope the big company's will very soon take note and wonder why they have catalogues of kits that are, frankly outdated, we buy them as there is nothing else, i dont think euromodels como, Caldercraft, and others have done anything new in quite a while

have you put any likes or comments into the log, it should then go to your last reply -
Good afternoon everyone Waterline stripe went on ok, it called for 8mm i could only get 6mm i might put a go faster one on at a later date, i bought them in 10m rolls of ebay, car pin stripes rails fitted went ok the mast, it calls for the mast to be chamfered to fit a 10mm hole in the lower deck, i decided to pin a 10mm dowel to the mast, which worked ok, it was then checked for height, and then adapting to fit the various brass bit, which took a while to get right

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
