Venyige Ádâm Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hi everybody! Deagostini, Hachette have released several model ships over the years eg HMS Suprise, Soleil Royal etc. However, I just came up with some boat mockup ideas. These ideas are just sailing ships. A pirate ship like Queen's Revenge or Black Pearl or any galleon would be a good idea. Or HMS Victory. These ships could be in Quarter Scale. Now you are wondering why I always think on such a large scale. I'll tell you why. The bigger the mockup you build the better the feeling of owning the real thing. (Although this may be just my foolishness) There is a lot more detail to show and I've never seen one before. However, it may not be possible to do such. And if it did, it would make a lot of money. I'm aware of that. I know that impossibility is just as interesting. Interestingly I show you a web page. This site is a HMS Victory fan site. I found that they were making museums 1: 24,1: 4, but they even made a 1: 1 scale model. Worth a look.😉https://www.hmsvictory.de/web/index.phtml/Large-scale--Models-of-HMS-VICTORY--1765---V-05--id_5010.html?PHPSESSID=64f93529f2ec07969355a3e4c19f0d0a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeS Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Ships will be cool... pickings are slim in the partworks side, especially for us Aussie's given the lack lustre service provided by other partworks companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 A 1:48 Victory 😲 I am shortly starting work on Amati's 1:64 prototype for their instruction manual, and it's just short of 1.6m long! Even that is, size-wise, out of the reach of most modellers. In 1:48, it would be a staggering. I imagine the market would be quite limiting for a number of factors.

What do you think of a 1:10 or 1: 4 scale.😂 If you could support it? 🤔 Actually, a pirate ship would be good like a black pearl or some famous galleon. etc I read about the 1: 4 scale model on the website I copied here but I don't know where it is right now. And that's where the 1: 1 is. A monster can't just disappear like this. I am very curious about the 1: 4 because the picture is black and white and in the water, I can't limit how big it really is.

I think that would be a cool build. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrycan Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Although Hachette have already done HMS Hood a good Quality one to go alongside the bismarck would be ace! Or even an Ark Royal complete with fairey swordfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Mark, The Master Modeller Posted July 3, 2021 Administrator Share Posted July 3, 2021 Personally, I'd like to see something a little different. Perhaps something like the Amati Ferrari Arno or the Italian Runabout. https://store.amatimodel.com/en/models-amati-classic/product-ferrari-arno-xi-special-edition-kit-b1610.html https://store.amatimodel.com/en/models-amati-classic/product-italian-runabout-b1608.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrycan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 HMS Conqueror and the Belgrano would make Good Models, The Belgrano wouldn't need much assembling though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
