The Model Ship - Part 2026 

THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL It is more of a daily personal diary, or perhaps a vlog, centered around the building of plastic model ships. Don’t be surprised when I unexpectedly, but usually just momentarily, get into something completely unrelated. I was big into building models years ago. Apparently I’m trying to bring back “the good old days” by building plastic model ships. In this series I’ve already built ---
Trumpeter’s 1/200 scale Bismarck
• The Model Ship - Part 31
Trumpeter’s 1/200 scale HMS Hood
• The Model Ship - Part 519
Trumpeter’s 1/200 scale HMS Rodney
• The Model Ship - Part ...
Trumpeter’s 1/200 scale USS Iowa
• The Model Ship - Part ...
Now I’m building Trumpeter’s 1/48th scale U552 Submarine
• The Model Ship - Part ...
Also in this series I’ve built a very large model ship case that will hold up to five 1/200 scale ships.
• The Model Ship - Part 482
I was thinking of adding the very popular 1/200 scale Yamato to my stash, but later realized that it would likely be too much for me … but we’ll see. It looks now like I might not be getting it.
Feel free to learn from my mistakes while I muddle through this.
