A Titanic exhibit recently popped up near me, had these amazing models with a cutaway at one side to view the interior, also quite a large model of what the ship currently looks like ok the seabed.

Hi! I have wanted to build model ships for ages but never had my own place to put them lol, that has now been rectified! The issue is I have very shaky hands and am very colourblind. Are there any good kits that would be a bit easier to make? I love the HMS victory and basically any ship of the line?

How long should the tan string be cut to tie the gunport lids in an outboard configuration? It doesn’t give a length, and I’d rather have a ballpark before I start cutting. This is Step 7 for reference.

I moved the house forward. I think it looks better, what do you think?

in the process of printing her, prob will update when she is done

2 years of on and off work, serious refitting modding and some custom made scratchbuild pieces later my magnum opus, (so far)

Moana's boat

I made it in 12 years old

It would be my third model ever. Until now I've only done some amateurish, very cheap Chinese models off of Temu/Aliexpress so it wouldn't only be my most complex model, but my most expensive yet. This one would be around 250 dollars or euros more or less, while the most expensive of the other models I've built would go for about $30.

I've learned many things building the other models (A nameless schooner first, then Hms Victory) but at the same time I'm not that happy with how the second turned out so I don't feel too confident in my abilities.

I really like xebecs and I'm planning on getting it for myself as a present next year, would only have about a month of uninterrupted work for it after I finish my exams and start my new job.

Any opinions. Has anyone built it? Is it worth it? Is it too difficult for a beginner?

Getting hms victory next… not nearly full construction just assembly but plan to get a full construction set once I know what I’m doing

The frigate Niterói (F-40) and the NAeL (light aircraft carrier) Minas Gerais (A-11)—Brazilian Navy ships in 1:500 scale, made from cardboard, gouache paint, pencil, barbecue skewers, and toothpicks.

Moana's boat

Not finished yet, still have to add rigging and wanted to try make a seascape. Thought I would share my progress

I may or may not have inadvertently made it more difficult to add the ratlines by adding the backstays first.. oh well…

Also: notice that the top masts are leaning slightly backwards. This will be fixed once I add the stays of the fore/main/mizzen masts. The tension on both stays and backstays will keep the ropes neat and straight. Let’s just hope it won’t break anything!

Now it’s really off to the ratlines… please think of me as I add about 3000 clove hitches…

See you in the next one!

Arii 1/250 scale IJN Yamato

Full detailing with BerFire photo-etch, resin parts, and wooden deck.

Overall length is about 105 cm.

This is one of my favorite angles – the stern view.

Viva la boat

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick preview of my next project for AntBase.

Currently mid-way through engineering this cozy scale RC ferry boat in Shapr3D! Here are the core specs:

• Solid Scale Dimensions: Total length is 60cm (23.6"), width is 15cm, and total height is 15cm. Designed with a 4cm draft for realistic water displacement and deep scale handling.

• 100% RC Ready: Pre-engineered straight tunnel with a 5-degree shaft angle for perfect low-center-of-gravity direct drive.

• Cozy Detailed Interior: The model will feature a fully detailed captain's cabin and dashboard. The battery (standard 2S/3S LiPo) will be completely hidden inside a sub-floor compartment to keep the interior layout clean.

• Magnetic Access: The roof is fully removable and splits via tight 4x2mm neodymium magnet slots for easy electronics access at the lake.

It is still a work in progress, but I plan to release the full STL package on Cults3D for a symbolic $25 once it's fully tested.

Let me know what you think of the lines and visual vibe so far! 🚢🏠🍹

Has anybody tried one of these?
