  1. Hi all, I'm putting out to anyone out there who can help me out.  

    I have come across a kit of the Santa Maria from Artesania Latina without any instructions at all. Would there be anyone out there that has completed this kit and no longer needs these instructions?

    I would be greatfull to anyone that can point me in the right direction as to finding these plans. 

  2. This idea might have come up here before but I hope this helps someone.
    There are always tedious little things to do in this hobby so when I come across an idea that can help speed things up it's worth sharing.
    I am up to the stage in my build of rounding the bottom of the Balusters to 2mm dia (there are 34 to do) and the instructions says to round them with a file. Well...I found a small collet that comes with my Dremel and used that to round the Balusters. 👍

    Well, the first step to getting help is to make a post title that clearly states what you're looking for (I fixed that for you -- no charge). Second, do your kit plans show any full-size parts templates? If so, you can use those to scratch-build some replacement parts. Third, from whom did you purchase the kit? At least one vendor, Model Expo, will replace any missing parts.

     

    That should get you started. Cheers!

     

    Thank you for fixing the title of my post. I'll have to scratch build these two parts. Part 18 at the stern will be challenging. I purchased the kit privately from someone that did not have the time to build it.  The box which the kit came was in plastic so it was not tampered with so no fault of the seller.

    Problem is going to be that this kit is out of production. Even Expo, which does not appear to sell AL kits can't provide parts that don't exist.

     

    The missing parts should be laser-cut parts, and if you have the sheet they came from, then you have a pretty solid outline of the parts and can simply reproduce them. That's the beauty of working in wood.

     

     

    Yep, Artesania Latina are no more. I have little chance of getting these parts. The parts in question look to be molded. I am not worried about the part at the bow it's part No 18 at the stern.

  4. Hello everyone, I don't know where to post this I hope I am in the right place. I am new to ship modeling and I have been waiting to buy my first model for a long time and I finally did the HMS Endeavour by Artesania Latina 1/60 scale.

    Now...I have a huge problem. The kit is missing two parts. Going from the parts list it's part No 17 (Fore Crotch) and part No 18 (Alt counter)

    I'm just wondering where I can get these two parts from? Can anyone help please.
