HMS Bellona - CAF Model - 1/48 - By Yves Vidal

Hi Yves,
I remember following your build log and the amazinig craftsmanship. The finished model dose not give justice to all the hidden details that went into your Bellona. I can imagine it will be next to impossible to duplicate all the efforts that went into your orignal log. You did an amazing job building this ship and you set the bar for excellence!!
Cheers

Very impressive Chris, you and Chantelle must be feeling knackered with the effort taken to get things sorted, I hope you don't lose each other in there.😉

Vanguard Models News and Updates

Well, we are now 98% ready, with all of the benches and racking moved in and a lot more ordered and built up, with just two more workbenches to make up. Our made up racking that we already had, needed to be partially dismantled, moved and re assembled when in position, as they were too big to fit through the doors. I have so many cuts and bruises...

I really do not want to move again anytime soon! We have about to week left to finalise the completed set up - but it now more or less looks like this (Laser 3 will be delivered in September, and laser 4 in December).

I do have the HiSModel yacht kits in stock, and am just waiting for them to be added to the website - and continuing development for new kits will recommence in September.

LEGO Privateer Frigate Fortuna by TJM - Bricklink set

I admire your restraint.

If that was my Lego I wouldn't be able to resist spending hours on it every day. I'd have it built within a week 😄

I have been watching / waiting for this model to become available as well. I agree with Greg M above, these kits won't last long. Thanks so much for getting a few of them prepared.

From the construction diary I am posting here only photos. But this part has a lot of textual explanations, because...

A small clarification: after making the hinges, I decided to redesign the steering wheel on the first hull as well (I replaced the parts from the kit this time too).
