Hello. You can find the instructions at artesania latinas webpage. Tried to copy the link here, but it didn’t work. Gaffrig. -
Hello Dan. Thank you! I used the materials supplied in the kit. They are listed as lime tree, so I guess that it’s limewood! I used a product called finishing oil from the manufacturer Liberon, and this brought out a nice level of detail and glow in the wood. Gaffrig

Hello all! Thanks for looking in and commenting and liking. It’s very inspiring! I had planned to start the deck gratings/coamings but decided to try finishing the gunport lids that is closed first. Didn’t really have a plan for how to do this other than a general idea. Made the port lids of scrapwood and cut a groove where they overlap eachother. I decided to use styrene strip and rod to make the hinges. I imprinted with an awl on the backside to imitate bolts. Glued them on with ca glue, added eyebolts and painted.. And added eyebolts on the inside aswell. I think I have found the way to do these, as I think the result is acceptable. I have also given the red another coat of paint after sanding the deck. I first brushed a coat of matt varnish along the masking tape to avoid bleeding. This worked great! No bleed at all. Recomended! Gaffrig.

Very nice planking. Great job! Looking forward to see the build progress. Gaffrig.

Ronald-V, thank you! The nibbing is quite time consuming and fiddly work, but worth the effort I think.

Tom, thank you!

Hello all! Thanks for taking the time to look in and liking! Have finished the deck... Gave it a round of scraping. And sanding.. And a coat of oil.. Ended up quite ok I think. Looking through the stern porthole.. And a overview. Funny how the colours change with the light. Now I need to clean up the hatches and start on the frames/gratings. I also need to touch up the red paint after sanding the deck. Gaffrig.

Hello! Many thanks to all for looking in and the likes. Just a small update today. Working on the deck, plank by plank.. Gaffrig.

Hello all! Thank you for looking in and the likes! Work progressing slowly.. First coat of paint on the caprail. Started on the deck. Using pencil for caulking and following a four step butt planking pattern. (hatches very rough cut for now) Gaffrig.

Hello all! Work progressing slowly.. Finished up the stern gunports, got the knee/strengthening piece inside the transom glued inplace and finished the caprail. Next I think will be the deck, or maybe gunport lids. Haven’t decided yet! Gaffrig.

Hello! I’ve made the caprails and glued on to one side. The other dryfitted in this picture. I then thought it would be a good idea to make the «strengthening piece» (for lack of a better word) on the inside of the transom first. This piece is not mentioned in the kit but appears in the model I use for reference. (Marked in green) So I glued some pieces of wood together and started chipping away, and this is how it turned out.. Then before mounting it inplace I decided to cut the gunports in the transom first. One port cut out, the piece painted and test for fit in relation to the gunport. Both gunports cut out.. (Looking closer at the picture I see one is slightly bigger than the other! Need to adjust this!) Now I need to clean up the edges and line the gunports. Then I can fix the piece and finish the caprail. Slowly getting on with the build, but I’m not in a race, I enjoy every minute of it! Gaffrig.

Thank you! The truth is it’s been on hold for quite some time.. Gaffrig

Hello. I tried this on my model the Henriette Marie, and it worked out great! Sails turned out more realistic than cloth in my opinion. Will definetly use this method on my next model with sails. (see gallery for more pictures) Gaffrig.
