Hi Mike, thank you, this will be really appreciated.

The reason I want the instructions is mainly in order to use the correct wood parts, AL models are not too generous with the quantities that they supply, trying to follow the instructions so I will not have to buy too much more.

More planks added:

Planking in progress:

Working on the Deck:

Bending the planks:

The technique is quick and simple now that I have done it many times but the AL wood is not great and breaks from time to time:

Thus requiring something to go along that:

A small request to the members - I am building the Artesania Latina San Francisco II and have misplaced the AL step by step instructions booklet (would have liked to blame the kids but it was probably me...), can anyone post scans of the instructions or point me to where I can get hold of a new booklet, I have also sent a request to AL and waiting to see if it's possible to acquire it separately.

The start:

The stern:

The Deck and attaching the bulwarks:

Hello all,

This is my second AL kit, and my first post in a ship builders forum. Progressing slowly, probably no more than an hour per week and sometimes much less, mainly enjoying the build process. 

Some pics of the progress are here: https://plus.google.com/photos/110787951766792468149/albums/6032635228534265041?authkey=CM7y0cjvwYXxag

Smooth sailing to all.
