    SEGUIN TUGBOAT - About to Plank ...

    looking good so far. Be careful not to break off any of the small posts, other build logs warn of this and I still managed to snap two of them. Work with a planking fan and do your calculations. GO SLOW remove a small amount at a time and dry fit first. Go for it!

    Seguin Steam Tug by Bluejacket & Dumb Barge [COMPLETED BUILD]

    I did the Bluenose II as my second build, It is not that hard. Your kit is marked Panther - Aristo Craft however, the scale, plans, instruction book, box and parts cards are identical to the Artesania Latina kit. If you want info, start there.
