Nils, there is something wrong with these seating passengers. Either they all have short legs, or the benches are way too high or they are not at the proper scale for this boat. It is disturbing on an otherwise beautiful model. Are these little people, Chinese toys? Since you live in Europe, you should look for PREISER figures at 1/48 scale. They are by far the best quality.

yvesvidal replied to Tom E's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Tom, It looks like you have been spending some serious money recently. I call that an investment. Yves -
Amazing results for a plastic model. Kudos. That is a beautiful boat with a Latin rigging. Yves

For those of you who are as fanatic as I am about the 2001 Discovery ship, there is a fantastic reproduction made by a Japanese company: https://discovery-one.hlj.com/ Their model is exquisitely detailed and goes way beyond what Moebius did with their 1/144 kit. The ART MASTER 3D model comes fully assembled and painted by Japanese artist. It measures 5 feet 4 long and is a replica at the scale of 1/10th of the original prop created by Kubrick and his team. The price is way crazy at more than $14,300 each plus an additional $650 shipping fees. Unfortunately, even if you had the money, the list of orders is already closed. Below are some pictures of the incredible ART MASTER 3D model: A truly magnificent piece of art. Yves

None of the above :-) The Discovery pictures are from my Android phone. Everything about the submarine is from an old Sony camera, unable to focus at short distance. Yves

Well, the deep space "submarine" Discovery XD-1 is now completed: It will be a little while before I go back to the U-Boot but who knows..... the urge may come back, quickly. Yves

This Spanish Economic Web site seems to imply that AL is "In liquidacion", meaning Chapter 11 in the USA, or "toasted" for the rest of the world: https://empresite.eleconomista.es/ARTESANIA-LATINA.html Yves

Re.... Hmmmmmm Why would a Spanish company go to HongKong? So unstable and so far away from their normal territories. Maybe the wife convinced him.... That could be a disastrous situation. Maybe the "Son" does not care.... Yves

Great project Nils. When I was a kid, I was drooling on the Hjejlen kit in the Toulouse Hobby Shop (Ideal Models). I never got it but I always kept it dear in my heart. I am so glad you managed to find such a beautiful model and give it a second life. Yves

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.
