artesania latina

So I started on another kit but it proved to be a bit over my head so I have started with this kit. So far it has been straightforward. There seems to be enough plank work to get me ready for more advanced kits to come. I have NO experience and I’m building the kit On a limb . I know I have...

Ok, so I’m going to start this build log but it will be slow going because I’m still getting my new shop setup. I pretty much have the ship building area clear and almost ready but waiting on a few things. I’m excited to get started. I’ll post some pics of the shop and the kit. Thanks and stay tuned

Hi All, I am having a short break from my Saint Philippe scratchbuild due to a severe rash which may or may not have been caused by dust from the Red Padauk timber I have been using.Having a rest from working with it will enable me to establish if it is indeed this that has caused it.If it...

First time building a wooden model kit. Decided to start with this to see how I get on. Will post my progress.

Just sails and lots of rigging to do, a realy enjoyable model to do.

I thought it would be fun to build a simple model for a change (and avoid all that rigging.) This boat is very attractive and I think it will make a handsome little model. I located it at Cornwall Model boats and it was quite inexpensive. It would seem on the surface that such a kit should be...

Ahoy Gentlemen. I've decided to start posting the build log for the ship I'm building, the clipper ship "Harvey," a two-masted clipper ship. This is my very first build. As I'm now about 100-120 hours into the building of this ship, and around two months' time, I figured I better start posting...

Hello everyone. I want to share my build of the San Francisco Cross-Section kit from Artesania Latina. This kit took me about 6-7 months to build. It is a quite easy kit as the hull is very easy to make but the most difficult part were all the details. It was a fun kit to build with a very good...

I’m finally ready to start my H.M.S. Endeavour build. I wanted a place for my shipyard inside the house, that way I can work on it year round. After some negotiations with the Admiral I built a place a work space in the house. I need to do some repair to my Scottish Maid that I build in the...

Hi all, well my initial plans were to build the ZHL Black Pearl scenario kit, I was just about to place in my order on the weekend when !!!!!! I decided to visit one of the local Hobby shops I hadn't been in a while.. turned out to be a kid in a candy store situation LOL to my surprised, most...

Good evening fellow modellers! I start this thread to show you how I’m making this incredible ship of the line, representing it as it fought in Trafalgar. The kit itself has many weaknesses due to, I suppose, commercial reasons so I take the instructions as “suggestions” and really follow the...

After taking a little break after my Albatros I am back in the shipyard. I purchased the Swift 1805 by AL and had originally planned to build this as my first wooden ship build but for some reason I worked on the Albatros first. My goal with this build is to continue to build skills in planking...

This is my current build.

I'm doing this thread on the HMS Victory which is the current project. I've made good progress on construction, but I'm going to put the construction steps here and let it react before posting the next ones. All texts are those of a French forum, simply translated by Google Translate. Excuse me...

Figured since I'm still close to the starting point on this ship, I would show what I'm doing. I'll post pics of the progress so far when the frame is faired and ready for Planking. Here is the Kit

I will show here al little bit from my work on the Santa Ana. This ship is mey second project and i didn´t want to build this model. But the price was extremly cheap because it was one of the last units and AL doesnt build more this model. My plan was to do any modifications an this ship to...

This is a re posting of a build that I did some years ago, I hope you enjoy it, I started this build a while ago and had to put it aside due to circumstances, the start of my previous log was lost during the big crash last year, then all my other photos were lost when my own PC crashed, so...
