My first building project was the Artesania Latina "King of the Mississippi" which took around 18 months due to work, moving house and other things. A great build with good materials and detailed plans and instructions.
it is now on to the Neptune so far so good though the instructions are not great, just giving the general idea of what to do. As you can see from the photo I'm in the process of mounting the gun ports, the slots in the ribs needed filing out as did the ribs to the keel. The metal gun ports also needed work as the casting wasn't clean, lots of tiny bits to file down for a good fit to the ribs. Still we'll battle on.
