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...

Good afternoon! Thank you very much for letting me participate in the forum. My name is Pablo and I'm from Uruguay. I am 38 years old and I decided to enter this wonderful hobby. Buy the "New Swift 1805 of Latin crafts" and I arrive next week, as I am new I would like to give me some...

A few photos. As you can see, the set is very modified.

OK, before I start, first I know the ship is more correctly referred to as H.M.A.S. Bounty but I am using the name on the kit box. Second, it looks to me, after referencing John McKay's excellent book in the Anatomy of the Ship series, that the boat in this kit is really the 20' cutter and not...

I decided to start building my San Francisco II galleon kit of AL that i bought almost one year ago. Scale is 1:90 Here are the first pictures. Everybody knows about San Francisco II Spanish galleon. So, no need to tell anything about her :)

Hi I am currently busy with the Swift 1805 from Artesania Latina(My first build) and it seems that some parts do not fit correctly. Is this a common issue or am I having trouble understanding the instructions? Here are some pictures of my progress, I would like to know what the experts think!

Santa Ana was a 112-gun three-decker ship of the line of the Spanish Navy, built to plans by Romero Landa. She was the prototype and lead ship of the Santa Ana class, also known as los Meregildos, which were built during the following years at Ferrol and Havana and which formed the backbone of...

This will be my build log for AL's "Independence 1775". First let me say that this is an entirely fictional vessel, much like Al's Swift or Harvey. It is , however, representative of the colonial schooners built in America between 1763 and 1775. Harold Hahn covers these ships in his book "The...

Bon Retour was built in 1952 in France and was used as a Scallop fishing boat off the Brittany coast. In 1982 it was restored and is now used in the preservation of marine culture. The wooden parts are all wrapped in cellophane, a plastic compartment tray with lid contains all the small wood and...

Christopher Columbus had three ships on his first voyage, the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Columbus sailed from Palos de la Frontera on 3 August, 1492. His flagship, the Santa Maria had 52 men aboard while his other two ships, the Nina and Pinta were each crewed by 18 men. The Santa...

I am currently building the Scottish Maid by Artesania Latina. The step I am having trouble with is the Stern Deck Reinforcments. They are listed as parts 20 , 21. The issues is that I can not find these parts, they are not listed on the High Tech Cut sheet. Any thoughts? David
