    KFL 1/300 ironclad Huascar

    Thanks, Don ! :) The mast poles are a combination of wood and brass wire. The masts with the kit are essentially templates with no usable parts except for the platform.

    KFL 1/300 ironclad Huascar

    There's one review posted at Moduni. One star out of five. "Sehr dürftige Konstruktion. Im Vergleich zur HUASCAR von D. Hathaway eine Karikatur." (Very poor construction. In the comparison to the HUASCAR of D. Hathaway a caricature). A little harsh but there were some issues with poor fit...

    KFL 1/300 ironclad Huascar

    Here's a kit I bought recently from Paper Model Store. Simple - one parts sheet. Cheap -$2.99. I had in mind a simple tune-up as I ease myself back into the card modeling scene.

    1/100 Schreiber Greek Bireme

    Hi,all. I recently completed the Schreiber-Bogen Greek Bireme kit. As I recall, someone else here built it (and did a better job), but I went back a few pages and didn't see the thread. I have converted the ship from full hull to waterline, depicting the ship in fighting trim with...

    Roman scout ship (Roman Seas, 1:250)

    Wow, terrific job with the rigging,michik ! You ought to send a picture of that to Eric at Roman Seas, I'll bet he'd be delighted to see what you've done with the model.

    Roman scout ship (Roman Seas, 1:250)

    Nice work, michik ! :-) I agree with you about the "scale creep" of the Roman Seas ships. I'm attaching a picture of my Langton 1/300 Greek trireme next to my Roman Seas trireme. The Langton model is dwarfed. 1/250 for Romans Seas seems correct to me. I think that's probably just as...

    Roman Seas: 1/300 Trireme

    Roman Seas Trireme And another shot from aft. The ship looks a bit barren stripped for action without the 6mm soldiers on board, but I think it still has a pleasing appearance. Overall I was impressed by the quality of the graphics, the comprehensive set of instructions and the fit of the...

    Roman Seas: 1/300 Trireme

    Hi, all. Sorry I've been away from the card modeling scene for a while. Thought I'd check back in and share this with you. Roman Seas is a gaming system for ancient naval warfare. What I like about it is that the card modeling aspect works very well in this application. The ships look good...

    Digital Navy's BB-3 Oregon, 1:250

    Looks wonderful, Michael. The railing turned out just great. 8) If not the exact equal of photoetch, plenty close enough not to quibble about it; not to mention it's much more in the spirit of paper modeling.

    Digital Navy's BB-3 Oregon, 1:250

    She's looking absolutely stellar, Micheal. :D 8) 8) I'm glad you chose the white and buff color scheme. It looks terrific. :) Good tips also on the railing. I'm still puzzling how to handle it on the Petropavlovsk.

    Modelik 1/200 Czarist Battlehsip Petropavlovsk

    Looking aft. The picture came out too dark, but it does serve to show the curvature of the hull. Looks like that armor belt has come unglued a bit also, something easily fixed.

    Modelik 1/200 Czarist Battlehsip Petropavlovsk

    Note the mismatched darker hue of the lower armor belt section. :shock: As far as fit goes, so far so good and all mistakes have been my own. But I have to blame Modelik for this one.
