Jagpilot Posted May 12 Share #1 Posted May 12 Hello Model Ship World, I am starting a new build log of the HMS Ontario in 1/48 scale by Maris Stella. I have been trying to get this kit for a while and always missed someone’s auction or it would run out of stock. So as luck would have it I won the kit in a raffle held by Olha Batchvarov’s you tube channel. The kit came with all the upgraded blocks and cannons. And all the 3d printed parts. So far I got the slipway built and the keel. Thanks for looking. Hopefully I started the build log correctly. Thanks for looking!

allanyed Posted May 13 Share #2 Posted May 13 (edited) Welcome to MSW Chris. Looks like a nice kit that you have, There is a contemporary drawing of Ontario (16) 1780 at the RMG Collections site you might want to download as a reference. https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-84516 After a quick look the kit plans seem to be very good. Thanks for sharing your build.

Beef Wellington Posted May 13 Share #4 Posted May 13 Will follow you closely on this build, the lines of this ship are quite pleasing. I have seen others struggle with some aspect of this kit, I hope those kit failings have been corrected and this is a pleasant build for you.

myxyzptlyk2003 Posted May 13 Share #5 Posted May 13 Nice to see that MS now includes a stern post on which to attach the 3d stern piece. Several years ago when I purchased this kit that was not present. Turned out there was no way to attach that 3d printed piece to the model. As my scratch building skills are almost non-existent I had to shelf the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
