BenD Posted August 13, 2022 #31 Posted August 13, 2022 I just couldn't help myself and bought the Shipyard kit HMS Wolf. I got the laser cut kit with all the bells and whistles, not as cheap as the one @catopower bought though. I got it online from https://ca.super-hobby.com/products/HMS-WOLF-The-10-Gun-Sloop-1752-skala-1-72.html . It was very affordable and had free shipping... how could I not. Also on that site on the product pictures they show all of the contents of the kits, very cool feature and more webstores should do this.

Flambeaux Posted December 1, 2022 #33 Posted December 1, 2022 Hi, Working on a Shipyard 1/72 Santa Maria, the one with the laser cut parts and paint. It's pretty much idiot-proof, so it's ideal for me. I was going to do a diorama of the wreck based on a painted in National Geographic from the 80s. I think the artist was Richard Schlecht, who illustrated all of the Time-Live volumes on ships. Love the card ships! Huge variety. Lyle robert952, LeoM, Ryland Craze and 7 others 9 1
Joe100 Posted February 11, 2023 #34 Posted February 11, 2023 It really does go to show that card modeling is the best bang for the buck in modeling! Canute, mtaylor, ccoyle and 2 others 5
GrandpaPhil Posted February 12, 2023 #35 Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I just started another card model. I am building the Revenge in 1/64 scale from Victory Models plans.

ccoyle Posted February 15, 2023 #38 Posted February 15, 2023 I just wanted to give another shout-out somewhere to WAK (https://www.wak.pl/). I placed an order on 4 Feb and got it today, eleven days later, which is pretty lickety-darn-split for an order crossing the pond from Poland -- I usually don't get my hopes up when checking the mailbox until at least three weeks have transpired. The order came perfectly packaged, and WAK's shipping rates are unbeatable ($13.41 for three kits, five sets of laser-cut frames, and three canopies). In addition to being sold through WAK's online shop, the three kits I purchased are also published by WAK. These are the first of their kits I have obtained, and my initial impressions of them are very favorable. I may do a write-up of them later in the "what have you received" thread. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, BenD and 3 others 6 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Tomasz B Posted March 13, 2023 #39 Posted March 13, 2023 Nice to see more modellers use paper. I started my Od.2 steam train 1.45 scale some time ago. Still haven't finished my golden hind yet as i struggle with rigging makes me tired i had to go escape somewhere 🤣 So started train. Canute, mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5
ah100m Posted March 14, 2023 #40 Posted March 14, 2023 And trains are so like sailing ships...! I do the same thing when I get tired of rigging. I build 1/12 scale race cars. And when I get tired of winding throttle return springs or rubbing out paint I go back to ship building. Takes twice as long to build one model but no longer to build two!

Azzoun Posted June 23, 2023 #42 Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I recently acquired a number of paper model kits that I'm interested to take a shot at however everything is in German. Can anyone suggest where I can get English instructions? Or just info in general on the kit? Thanks! Edited June 23, 2023 by Azzoun
AJohnson Posted June 23, 2023 #43 Posted June 23, 2023 If you have a smart phone with a camera, there are many apps like Google translate that will convert short passages of text into English.

ccoyle Posted June 23, 2023 #44 Posted June 23, 2023 Most recent cell phone models have some kind of translation app on board. My Android phone has Google Lens. Your kit is an older kit published by Wilhelmshavener. I'm guessing it's hand-drawn and probably a little light on the instructions/diagrams -- probably not too detailed, either. mtaylor and Canute 2 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

GrandpaPhil Posted June 24, 2023 #45 Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Google translate works well for me. You can scan the passage directly into the input box. That’s how I translate most of mine.
