The lootbox gods have smiled upon me - I bought a single Fleet Celebration crate and pulled ​Michelangelo. How should I build her?

HMS Endeavor by Artesania Latina. All that's left is carronades, ships lantern, anchors and the boats.

Picked this up for barely over melt value (not that I would ever melt an historical coin).

Banana for scale.

I find the conditions for redemption hilarious.

A few gifts from my grandparents... I suspect nothing of value here but what are your recommendations for websites to check rarity and value?

I'm about to send two Japanese gold coins and a British East India Company coin to NGC for grading and would like to check if any of these are worth slabbing.

I have to tie down the trim lines so no more procrastinating - what do y'all think - furled sails, partially furled or fully unfurled?

Stuck between Guilio Cesare, Abruzzi and Gorizia. Leaning G Cesare. What are the pros and cons of each?

This was the most complex bit of rigging. Took a while but it turned out well. Any suggestions from more experiences modelers? It was tricky to keep all the lines taut

I was in Tokyo for work and took my Saturday afternoon to visit the Kato HQ. Amazing layouts and with the current USD to JPY exchange rate the prices were also great. I picked up an 8 car Yamanote line set, a 1920's era steam loco with cars and a Unitram.

I had a few hours before a flight so I visited the Tamiya HQ in Tokyo. Amazing store. I just wish I'd had more room in my suitcase.
