I have decided to put myself out there and do a build log. I have selected the Artesania Latina "San Francisco Cross Section" for my second wooden build. My reasons for this choice were: 1: The kit was available (many kits were sold out, I assume due to the number of people staying at home in...

Here, on the fifth day, is the state of my new boat. Today I will finish glueing the starboard bulkhead and glue on the port bulkhead. I am using Elmer's white glue and sometimes a spot of cyano to hold the pieces in place. I never did that while building airplanes, because all materials...

Quite a nice kit for a cheap price. Fits nicely in my cabinet with Corel's Endeavour.

Well first time for everything they say and that is certainly the case here. My uncle has built models for many years which have been the subject of some discussion and I finally decided to build my own. I recently picked up the AL Harvey 1847 kit on Ebay and it has essentially been left...

I have had a request to post some pictures of my current build of the "Belem" by A/L. I am not sure if this is the right place, so if please guide me. I started this build in December 2019 and have been fairly steady at it through the pandemic. Accordingly I have developed tendinitis says my...

I purchased my AL kit of HMS Victory early in 2019 off of eBay. I paid $600 for it (which is about the average cost that I see). Overall, I am happy with the kit. I really like the beauty in the different variety of woods. My initial intention was to paint the entire model the battle colors at...

Hi All, Here it is my progress so far on my first wooden ship build ever. A couple things right off the bat -- patience. If being patient was 10, I am typically at a 4, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to start this project. So far my rushing has bitten me in the rear-end on a few...
