artesania latina

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...

Progress so far,any helpful information, hints, or support would greatly appreciated

Hello It is good to be back from medical issues that kept me from sitting at work bench. Hope to locate a previous build of the Artrsania cross section as a guide. I really missed building scale models. See you soon as I get started.

Hi guys. Taking advantage of these closing days, I am going to collect all the step by step of my Mississippi from Artesania Latina. Forgive the translation but for more comfort I will use Google translate RedfaceRedface The characteristics of the model are well known by all. Its scale is 1:80...

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...

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...
