Hermione 1780 - Artesania Latina

[RWShipwright]

So This is the new build The Hermione LaFayette from Artesania Latina and the unboxing there of. I was surprised of how much metal work there is in this kit, but at least it's of a past quality better looking than those poorly cast lead looking hardware. Came with 2 instruction booklets, one just the photos of the steps involved, and the other was in multiple languages with the detail description and instructions to coincide with the pictures.



Extra large tray here...Lots of spare space in this box.

Looks like a good kit from photos, and the instructions are typical for AL kits, good photos and short text to tell you what to do.

Read ahead always as it helps sometime to see and understand what your currently working on.

As for blocks and other rigging, there are several venders in the Forum who sell aftermarket parts, I like Dry Dock Models and Parts from Canada for mine source this side of the big ponds. https://drydockmodelsandparts.com/
