Hi all
Well since i finnished my Billings Boat model i have been contemplating what to do next and was thinking of building a trawler, but since then i have changed my mind again and gone for a period ship build and bought this kit today. This will be my first attempt at building an old sailing vessel and so the most daunting task ahead of me at the moment will be when i come to do the rigging and sails i think.
Ok more about the kit itself, it is from Artesania Latina and upon opening the box things look good it has a comprehensive set of instructions for the rigging and a basic set of instructions for the building side of things in multiple languages plus a small booklet with pictures of each step inside and full scale colour plans which is a big improvement on Billings. Alot of the fittings are cast metal which look like good quality but i may change this to reconstruct my own in wood i will make my mind up about that at a later stage when i see how they look after being painted, if they dont look right then i will redo them.
so here are the pics of the kit.
cheers steve
