This is a build log of another old small gun display from Artesania Latina, in 1:50 scale.
The kit came almost complete and ready to assemble with only minor work by builder.
I built mostly straight from instruction and photos, with a few minor improvements for looks.
The kit was purchased from eBay and was in good shape when received, all items boxed inside with good shape, only issues which didn't effect the kit was the staples holding bags of parts were rusted.
Major changes to kit were to replace the deck planking with a lighter contrasting color wood left over from another kit. The supplies deck wood just blended in to well with gun base and display base.
Small kit box size.
Instructions overall view and closeup of diagrams.
Gun base on original deck and new replacement deck.
And the deck installed and nailed with kit supplied nails, which after thought are two big of head.
Then I attached the gun to deck and nailed it down as show in diagrams
Last to add barrel tie down ropes and tackle to gun, I replaced oversize blocks with spares on hand.
This small project took about a week to complete and goes on shelf with my other gun displays.
