Commissioned in 1940 along with her sister ship TIRPITZ, the Bismarck was the largest Battleship in the German fleet, and certainly one of the most well known in history! Warren Zoell again captures the essence of this vessel in his build of it. At 1:200, it is very nicely done!

I love HUGE model builds! This beauty by Warren Zoell is absolutely fantastic!
Here are some images of Moebius model’s 1/72 scale Skipjack Class Submarine, USS Scorpion (SSN-589).
If there was ever a model that screamed “cold war”, this is it.
At over 42 inches the Skipjack is an impressive model and with only around 60 pieces it [...]

These amazing designs are by Warren Zoell of a Post Apocalyptic Era…. which we may see sooner than later! Excellent work!
The two main things in my opinion that are important when creating post apocalyptic machinery is that it must look like it was put together piece meal, as one would expect to see in a [...]

Artist and Kit Maker Steve Carricato is back with these magnificently scratch built maritime war machines! Nicely done!

Here is another beauty by Warren Zoell. Yet another avenue of his talented tastes!
Normally I refuse to build plastic ship kits anymore but this kit was so interesting I couldn’t resist. One thing I’ve noticed about this kit is the use of 19th century rigging and deck planking. Oh well… these ships are mostly conjecture [...]

This Bandai kit build by Warren Zoell is fantastic! We have never shown a Research Sub before today. I love this piece!
This is one of the best kits I have seen in a long time. The detail is amazing plus there are lots of moving parts and removable panels. It even comes with a lighting [...]

Canadian Artist Warren Zoell is back with this beautiful model ship build! This is one of those builds that bring me back to my youth, and model ship building. This one, of course, being much better than anything I could have done. I love this build…. and I love old wooden ships! Nicely done warren!
It’s [...]

This is what artist Ken Hart has to say…
Back in the mid-1980s, all these tiny little 1/700 scale kits and accessories began to come to American hobby shops, and I was intrigued with a [...]

This beautiful build was done my world class modeler Erick Navas! I never get over how fantastic Erick’s realism is to the piece. His attention to the finest details is very impressive! Beautiful Work!

El Tipo VII era un submarino monocasco, con el casco exterior conformado por los compartimentos de [...]

I was speaking with artist Marc Elkins a few nights ago and he had mentioned that he had moved his extensive collection to be displayed better. While doing so, he noticed how much space it was actually taking up and suddenly he stated to me that he envisioned the famed photo of George Lucas [...]

This piece is fantastic! Not only did Marc do the front hull wreckage that we are all usually view in museum settings, but he also included the rear hull as it actually sits on ocean floor of the Atlantic! After studying the wreckage site in photos for quite some time, Marc even replicated the [...]

Artist Erick Navas is back with another fantastic Naval build…. the S-173 Submarine! Absolutely beautiful!

Built from the Trumpeter Kit, I.P.M.SOL Member and Artist Louis Carabott made a fantastic Museum “looking” display of the final piece! I am always impressed when an artist places the extra small details into their creations. This entire piece is full of those tiny details that so many often leave off simply to complete the [...]

I have the pleasure of introducing another great talent to this Gallery site… Germany’s own Ranier Michalek! After viewing this piece on Dario Hector Gerlini’s I.P.M.SOL Facebook site, and then being befriended by him, I simply could not resist showing this amazing piece.

Another beautiful build by artist Erick Navas! From the AirFix Kit, to a beautiful Museum Display!
Here is what Erick has to say…
El acorazado HMS Canadá, después llamado Almirante Latorre, en honor del vicealmirante don Juan José Latorre, fue un buque tipo dreadnought que sirvió con su primer nombre en la Marina Real (Royal Navy) [...]

The Disney Nautilus Sub is one of the best Science Fiction designs ever created in my opinion. Not to mention one of the most recognizable! And now, from TimeSlip Creations, comes this giant, 36 inch model! Highly detailed, this will be one that sells out quickly as soon as it is made available! Keep a [...]

I absolutely love this artist’s works! Mr. Erick Navas again impresses this gallery with his build of the Monitor Huascar! The detailing is magnificent as are the water effects! What really stands out for me is the realistic weathering of the ships hull!
Again, taken direct from the pages of Dario Hector Gerlini’s fantastic military modeling [...]
