Hello 

I manage a charity shop in the UK and we rely on donations from people to keep the charity running.

A gentleman had bought this in and I'm looking for some help valuating the price. I'm thinking £100-£130 but I've no clue if that's too much or too little lol. 

The length of the case is about 2.5 foot and it does have a feeling of quality about it. 

Any advice or tips on pricing this would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Has anyone ever experimented with bead and cove strips for planking a wooden model? I was watching a video of a canoe build and it struck me that strips like this could be helpful for reducing gaps and covering curves, but also thinking it might be more trouble than it's worth.

Bead and cove for planking?

Hello everyone, I am trying to look for the 60ft RAF Pinnace 1250 blue prints or a detailed plan picture. I couldn't really find what I was looking for from the internet, so I am hoping some of you have what I need and are willing to share it. I am going to be making the model of the ship so I will greatly appreciate it if someone could give it to me. Please.

Hi folks, I'm looking for your recommendation for a self healing cutting mat. I need something fairly small as I have a limited work space.  Thanks for your thoughts.

New to model ships!

Hi! Big naval history enthusiast who's always wanted a model or two but never pulled the trigger on one,, but I found this USS Constitution on Facebook for $50 about 5 minutes from my house. While I know and love the Constitution I don't know where this model is from or who made it. It's all wood and no plastic and looks pretty darn good. The Constituion with maybe the exception the the Victory is definitely the ship I'd most like to have so I am thrilled with this find. What do you all think?!

Between a restoration commission, I decided to challenge myself with a ultra budget RC Warship.
Model, tools, airbrush and electrics will be coming off Temu and AliExpress. 
The only things i’ll be buying locally will be paint and glues

I’ve chosen the 1:200 scale ex trumpeter “Harbin” Destroyer…

Here’s the journey so far

Found this American scout in a Japanese pawnshop must have been there for a long time to get that low of a price most of the decals have fallen off. The hull is a bit crude but with some sand paper and epoxy it might have a chance. Totally would buy it if it wasn’t so huge!

Hobby Boss have revealed the official preview of their 1:700 HMHS Britannic model ahead of its release! Strangely enough it looks like they’ve omitted her Transport Identification plate and its decals, which they had included for their HMS Olympic kit. Her display name plate also strangely refers to her as RMS, even if everywhere else on the kit and the box she’s correctly named HMHS. Other than that the kit looks great. Can’t wait to finally get my hands on her! She’s a personal favourite of the Olympic class. 

P.S Her description on the box and official website is unfortunately as Google Translate-esque as Olympic’s.

What do you think of the sail? I dont like it but dunno why

Hi all,

where would you recommend to buy wooden model ships in Europe (online) already assembled? I want to buy my father a present, but cannot find any good online stores.

It would be perfect if ships would be historical. 

Thanks in advance!

4D Model - Moskva Cruiser - 1/1200 - Mini Kit

My father built this remote controlled sailboat from scratch back in the 1970s, and he would sail it out in Central Park on the Onassis reservoir. Since he passed a decade ago, my mom has moved a few times, and at some point someone that wasn’t me removed the sails so the boat could be moved, and they lost half of the brass hardware on two of the rigging lines to the mast.

Can anyone tell me what these kinds of connectors are called, and where I might able to acquire them? If I have to, I can tap and machine some, but with my little combination mill-lathe in storage and my chops a bit rusty, I’d love it if I could find something off the shelf/in someone’s parts bins. I inherited his cabinetmaking trade/skills but I’m woefully ignorant of his model making.

The barrel/tube that covers the connection is 1" long and 7/32" or so OD (so I guess it’s 3/8" ID).
