    Polish bulk carrier MANIFEST LIPCOWY 1/400 Scale (JSC 093)

    I'm always pleased to see JSC continue in it's trend of offering new merchant ships to it's line up, and this latest is no exception. This latest offering is of a bulk carrier and judging from the photos of the model posted on the companies website, this is a real gem! Looks like JSC continues...

    M.V. MARCELI NOWOTKO by MM in 1/600 scale

    I just finished a quick build of a repaint I did of an old Maly Modelarz kit, the motor ship "MARCELI NOWOTKO". It's a nice looking little cargo freighter that caught my eye, but as is sometimes true with the earlier Maly Modelarz kits, the print was a bit rough, so I scanned the pages and used...

    Hello, Friends!:) I thought those who enjoy the JSC line of ship models would be interested to learn about two new kits that are still in the final stages of production, but should be available soon (hopefully!). I was corresponding with JSC about getting English translations and, in...

    JSC 1/400 ELBE HIGHWAY Car Carrier - INITIAL REVIEW

    Hello, all!:) Well, I just received from Ralf at Lighthouse Model Art this latest offering from JSC. First, the delivery was quick (thank you Ralf!) and with his usual excellent packaging. Second, my first impression of this new model is, well, it's best summed up by using my daughter's...

    1:1000 scale MS KREFELD by WHV

    Hi, All!:) What better way to start off the new year but with a new model?:grin: I figured I would try something new with something new, so I reduced this kit to a Micromodel scale...it is a Wilhelmshaven model from the Lehrmittelinstitut series originally in 1:500 scale (this one of the...

    New JSC ship models TITANIC and containership MARY ARTICA

    I just noticed two new offerings from JSC in the 1:400 scale ship model range...the infamous passenger ship RMS TITANIC and a containership M.V. MARY ARTICA. I haven't seen the actual kits themselves, but I thought those interested in ship models would like to know of their release by JSC. I...

    SS KRAKOW in 1:400 scale by JSC No. 42

    Hi, Gang! :D This is another diversion project whilst I idle away the hours tying up gun tackles on the Constitution...besides, I had the urge to build something besides little carronades. :lol: One of the great bonuses with the JSC kits is how they sometimes include more than one model...

    New Freighter Model HAMMONIA by Passat-Verlag in 1:250 scale

    No, I haven't bought this kit...yet...but I came across it while visiting the Kartonbau-werft forum and I thought some of the ship lovers out there would like to see her. It's a beautifully detailed combo fast freighter bearing Hapag-Lloyd line markings with containers as part of her deck...

    USS SEAWOLF SSN 21 at 1:700 scale

    This was an excellent model designed by our own "seawolf" in 1:700 scale. I was honored to be sent the model file and finally got around to trying her out...and she was an absolute joy to build! I was at first a bit leary about joining up the conic sections, as I had not had much luck with...

    Mishima type Japanese freighter 1/700 scale

    This is one of those "I just want to see how it comes out" type of builds. I found this design on Mr. Sato's site. Mr. Sato, from what I am able to interpret from his webpage, desided to design a few commercial ships for which he could not find model kits for. Lucky for me, he designed them...

    Yuki Yuji Arleigh Burke DDG 51 in 1-700 scale

    As a break from my Constitution build I decided to try building one of those outstanding little Yuki Yuji warships in 1:700 scale. I didn't want to get too involved in a second build, but I've got to admit these little gems are addictive! :D I decided upon the Arleigh Burke, DDG51, because...

    Maty Modelarz 1:150 scale Cutty Sark Issue 1-2/2004

    Looks as if Maty Modelarz are re-issuing their old Cutty Sark model at 1:150 scale. I have the older issue, and the printing and paper quality is typical of the ealier MM publications, so this re-issue will most likely be a big improvement over the older version. I wonder if any of our...

    Wilhelmshaven 1:200 scale USS Constitution

    This will be my first construction thread on building a card model, so I hope you'll all bear with me. :D This model is a nice fairly, straight forward (read "easy") model to tackle, although it has a good deal of potential for enhancements, which I love to do! I have a bit of history with...
