Artesania latina let hussard 1848

[Peterairfix]

I have got bored of some of my other builds so I forgot about this one until I opened a box and found it hiding.
I brought from a boot sale for £5 last year.
So it's time to see how i get on with it most of the planking has been done a few other bits to put right one was the deck piece on the stern was attached wrong so I have put that right.
Time to show what I got to play with.

One of the first jobs to do is finishing off the planking only two each side and I found out that the previous builder only nailed the planks on but that's OK as there will be a second layer that will cover them over

Gave the Hull it's first sand and finished planking the decks

This is , in my humble opinion, the kit the most abandoned in all history. I have one (same sort of price, same condition or worse) that i have just started to rebuild allthough i have other projects on the go. I intend to finally do justice to this much maligned goelette.

Fitted the keel and finished off the decking
