    My Artesania Latina "Harvey" kit 1:50 from estate sale is missing the Long Boat kit. I've been searching for one or a fair replacement. It appears to be about 115mm x 40mm. Thanks for any tips. Harv.

    OK Greg, thanks. looks like a bit of fine work to make it look right.

    OK, I'm about finished with the second planking. What is the best way to get the planking at the bow and stern to blend in neat and clean with the bow and tail pieces. I'm looking at pictures of completed models and would like to make it look proper. Thanks,, Harv.

    I'll jump in with this Plank Bending problem. What type clamps are used to hold the second layer of planks while glue sets ?. I'm looking at plank screw clamps ?.

    I have a few questions on the first planking. ,, Why is it necessary ?. This kit has Lime wood as the first planking. It is light yellow color. If it showed through the 2nd planking in gaps, why is it yellow and not the same color as the final planking ?. Is there a picture of a cradle , vise to hold the hull while working on it. I can probably make one, need ideas. What is the one using foam noodles and dowel ?. I can make a holding pad with a sleeve and cat litter ( unused :-) ). I noticed there was a tip on using a variable control for the plank bending tool?. I've printed off some of the tutorials and have the videos saved for later. Just want to get as much prepped as I can before I start building. Thank you all for help and tips. Harv.

    Thank you all !! It is nice to know there are a lot of you learned gents that have the experience I can refer to. to save me some blood, sweat and tears !! Much appreciated, Harv. Yes, I found after I was given the kit and checked on this site advising the type ship kits as starters. The Harvey is a single deck, two master, no scroll work, over all fairly clean layout.. We'll see how it all works out.

    OK, I'm new here so Hello to all of you Craftsmen. I have read most of the help, tips and good advise for beginners. Thumbed through the forum projects, options etc. So I joined up. Now here is why,, My Daughter gave me a gift of an Artesania Latina 1847 Harvey two masted Clipper 1:50. It appears to be an old kit, all there and good condition. The 4 large drawn plans look easy to read and follow but the printed instructions are not very good. I down loaded "Simple Hull Planking Techniques" from this site as a main read, back up. I plan on using the individual instructions on each of the ship parts. I will order a heat bender for the Planks, etc. That is about it. I will go to the other parts of the forum to post my questions and comments.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
