artesania latina

My new hobby started summer of 2023 with an RV vacation that included a visit to historic Lunenburg, NS. While there we got to walk the decks of the Bluenose II and meet the captain. I saw many pricey prebuilt models of the Bluenose while there and once home was inspired to build my own. I...

Here is the start of my build log. This is my third project following the Model Shipways Dory and Pram. From the attached photos you will find the problem of the day. I completed the second planking and started sanding. Let me state, I have never sanded with so much care. The walnut planking...

Good morning, SOS. And welcome to my new build log. Having just successfully completed HMS Blandford I am attempting something completely different, a 1:16 scale Sopwith Camel from a kit by Artesania Latina. I was bought this by my wife as a Xmas present, I’d given her a shortlist of suitable...

I needed a break from ship models so decide to try the Artesanía Latina Stagecoach. There are several different makers but chose this one for the larger scale and the detail possible with a bigger model. The box contents all looked good and there are several other builds out there to follow...

I got the cross-section for Christmas from my wife. I figured I’d be a good intermediary build while doing the San Bartolome. Looks like a nice simple kit with plenty of detail. Not really sure how I like the instructions being on YouTube but I have been taking screenshots and printing certain...

La Gallega – AKA ‘la Santa Maria’ by Artesania Latina but before Columbus. La Gallega was categorised as a Nao (A carrack. Portuguese: Nau, Spanish: Nao, Catalan: Carraca) which means “Ship”, an ocean-going sailing ship developed in the 14th to 15th centuries by Portugal and Spain, (most...

Ahoy from landlocked Colorado, USA! This is my first post. I have been building ship models for 15 years and am slowly switching from plastic (1/350) to wood. I have built 4 wooden ships - AL U.S. Virginia, AL Scottish Maid, MGS Prince de Neufchatel and Corel HMS Unicorn. My next project...

Hi every, I am new to this forum joined a couple of months ago, and I must say it has been an eye opener to see the great talent by the members here. A bit about myself … I am not really new to the hobby but it has been a long time since I have build a ship. 35 years ago I built a pair of...

Hi, One of my first models. Le Toulonnaise from Artesania Latina. Improving some details ,its a nice ship to do it and not so dificult. Thanks

Hi All I had mentioned in another thread that I have recently purchased this kit shortly after release. I had also stated that when I build her, I will do a much more detailed log than I do normally, mainly to highlight any potential issues others less experienced than myself will face. I...

Hi All I have added this kit to my stash as I always wanted to build a model of this vessel as she appeared at Trafalgar. Occre's offering didn't quite scratch my itch and whilst I know Daniel Dusek was developing his own kit, this had been put on the back burner after he took over Mamoli kit's...

Hello partners In January of this year, they gave me the KIT of the cross section of the San Francisco galleon from Artesanía Latina. In February I started working with him and, given the doubts that arose, I began to investigate how to do it, looking at some work on social networks, until I...

Hello all, After importing my phone pictures to the computer and finding out it is quite convenient I have decided to start this build log about half way through. This is my third build after HMY Britannia 1:64 by Mamoli and Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack 1:24 by Model Shipways. The kit is part...

I bought the boat model from Model Expo back in 1989 along with the solid hull Phantom which will be another re started build! I framed it up and planked the deck and used toothpicks for the treenails, using a sharpie around the edges of the deck planking! I then performed the first hull...

Good morning, captains! I hope you're all doing well. In this thread, I hope to show you the progress of my Bluenose II model from Artesanía Latina. It's a "guerrilla construction" because I currently don't have a designated place to set up a workshop for building it, so you'll see pictures in...

Hi all. This will be my first build log and will be of my 3rd model ship kit. I started this build back about a month ago and have only now thought to do a log. Not many photos have been taken up until this point. I will post the photos that I have up until today. I will then update you all as...

Work in progress on upper ratlines.

Hi all , my first ship and naturally my first build log. Not everything has gone perfectly but I'm not scared to pull things apart and do them properly. (There have been several instances already) I don't have a lot of photos from early in the build as I never really planned on sharing the...

Hi Ship Builders, Happy new year of 2023. Please check out my latest youtube build video, the Artesania Latina San Francisco 1:90. The build started on October 23, 2022 and finished on December 31, 2022. Please enjoy. Sorry, I did NOT have text and photo build log for this build. However...
