That’s a nice looking box  Well done!

Did you get yours yet, Glenn? I'm already in line in anticipation of build logs from you and BE!

Great job, Clive! She's a gorgeous model! You should add some photos of her to The Gallery.

I just came across your build log, Eurus. You've built a beautiful model and the details are exceptional! My experience with Artesania Latina models is that the instructions are not the best but you've done a great job on this whaleboat. Congratulations!

Trigger pulled.... order made.   I think this build will be good for me...   I will do a build log once it's here.

Congrats, Mark! I look forward to seeing all the build logs that are on their way once these kits arrive. I'll probably join the club in the near future.

This is sooooo tempting me especially at the scale it is.    I guess I'll have to spend some serious time looking at the budget.

Go for it, Mark...we can't take it with us!

The book is fantastic, BE! I would never have thought to do that but what a great family heirloom it will be. If I could build a model 1/2 as good as yours, I might consider a book also!

Great job, Bob! She's a lovely model and your craftsmanship has done her justice!

So one needs to keep skin etc clear of the hot tip till it is cool, and to remember to switch it off when not in use.

Indeed! I've burned myself several times with mine but I haven't burned the house down yet!!

I have the deck finished up with the treenailing

Looks great! What method did you use for the treenailing?

Beautiful, HakeZou!

I could get plans and manual printed right now, but prefer to wait until the model is complete

Will this model be fully rigged?

Looks great, Ryland! She's almost done!

Looks really good, Ed!

Another spectacular model and outstanding build log, BE! This is exactly what we've come to expect from your craftsmanship and creativity. 

Gorgeous, BE!

Nice job, Glen. You're doing great work on this model. She's looking fine!

Fast work and looks great!

Congratulations, closehaul! She's absolutely beautiful and your excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail is clearly on display now. The sleek lines of the Atlantic with her 3 masts are wonderful. It's one of my favorite models which just may have to be on my ever lengthening wish list. I look forward to your build of the America which is another sailing ship that I love as well. Have you decided which America model you will be building? 

Thank you for your kind words also. My Pen Duick has been on pause for far too long but I am determined to finish her.

Gorgeous, gak!

Here is how I mask off the gun ports. Take a piece of foam and tape it to the outside. It will form into the hole and mask it pretty well. This is what the aircraft modelers do for their cockpits.

Great idea. Thanks for the tip!

I love these small craft models. I'll enjoy following along as you build her. Good luck!

This looks like a great model choice for getting back into the hobby. I will enjoy following you along as you build it. Good luck!

You're Winnie is looking fantastic, Bob!

Really nice work, Sea Hoss!

Beautiful work. She's going to be a stunning model when you're finished!
