In November 2016 Artesania Latina completely redesigned their Mare Nostrum fishing trawler, making it more accessible to beginners both in the way it is built and the instructions provided. The end result stays the same as the old Mare Nostrum, but the way to get there was optimized. Once I stumbled upon it I instantly fell in love with the cute little thing and it's greek style colour scheme.
So a few days later my greek fishing boat with a latin name, produced in Spain, crossed the German-French border. Now that's multicultural model building
Inside the box we find 3 sheets of laser cut wood, a box of small parts, two packs of diverse wood rods and strips and a sheet of 1:1 photos as a sort of building plan. If the box seems suspiciously empty, you have better eyes than I did at the time. AL forgot to pack in the hull planking strips. New kit, no biggie, these things happen. AL is sending out the missing strips.
There's no printed instructions anymore, instead one receives a DVD containing a 76 page manual featuring 430 photos and a bunch of videos split into 34 building phases.
There's not much text, but the photographs are very very thorough. I'd post an example page but I'm not sure if this is permitted on MSW.
